This is my "Testing Ramps" experiment, which allows students to test different surface materials for a ramp: Legos, paper, and sandpaper. We did this experiment to determine what was the best material to use for a surface for cars in our model of our community we made. Students will complete the first side of the activity together before the experiment, then do the experiment, and finally will write about their conclusions. The recording sheet follows the scientific method/process skills when conducting an experiment. Step One: Make Guesses Step Two: Determine if the test is fair Step Three: Experiment Step Four: Draw the experiment Step Five: Discuss findings Step Six: Suggest an alternative material for a surface

This is a packet based around the GATE unit of "Thinking Like a Disciplinarian" designed for K-2 students and aligned with CCSS. Students step into the role of being a Marine Biologist and complete a research study on an ocean animal similar to the story "Over in the Ocean", with the main focus being animal conservation. Following the story students will select an ocean animal (great chance to get some stuffed ocean animals in the classroom) to learn about and work towards conserving. Students can work independently, in small groups or partners depending on preference and ability. Once the research packet is complete, students will create a conservation poster to draw awareness to how we can help these animals. This packet includes: Cover Page Lesson Outline Teacher Notes CCSS Page Animal Cards What is a Marine Biologist? Display Card Marine Biologist Definition Display Card Marine Biologist Badges for lanyard (Color and BW) Animal Informational Text Pages Differentiated Research Packets Differentiated Self Assessment Conservation Poster Explanation Thinking Like a Marine Biologist Display Banner Please make sure to rate and leave feedback!

This is an integrated math, writing, science, and drawing activity that we used for 1st grade as a summative assignment for the end of the year during our ocean unit.

This is a display banner for your classroom Makerspace. Makerspaces, areas for allowing students to create and build with everyday materials, and they are growing ever more popular in classrooms around the world. This is a fun and engaging banner to have in your classroom's Makerspace area.

This is my "Testing Properties" experiment. Students will be shown 3 different types of materials: Plastic, stone, and wood. The students will do 3 tests on each materials to determine which one is the most useful in our day to day lives. They should test each material in flexibility, water resistance, and strength by having it support weight. Students will complete the first side of the activity together before the experiment, then do the experiment, and finally will write about their conclusions. The recording sheet follows the scientific method/process skills when conducting an experiment. Step One: Make Guesses Step Two: Determine if the test is fair Step Three: Experiment Step Four: Draw the experiment Step Five: Discuss findings Step Six: Suggest an alternative material

This is a nice cut and paste activity that allows students to match types of materials/rocks. Great for assessing how we use different materials in everyday life.

This is a book I did as part of my Ocean Unit. My students read stories and watched videos about what people do at the beach. Then they used a Flow Map to come up with 3 different things they would do at the beach if they took a vacation. Check out my blog for sample book ideas: http://completelykindergarten.blogspot.com/2012/05/as-end-of-another-school-year-creeps.html This packet includes: 2 different covers (cut and paste photos of students in the camera lens) Blank Writing Page (make multiple copies if needed) Flow Map for story ideas 3 Writing Pages with sentence starters Please make sure to rate and leave feedback!

This is a great activity as a summative assessment for a space unit. The brochure should be folded into thirds, featuring "Space Travel Brochure" as the front. This brochure includes: What to bring in space? activity where students name 5 things astronauts need, and then will draw lines to match the words to the astronaut picture. What will we see in space? activity where students will write the names of the 8 planets. Some planets we will visit are? map where students shall draw the 8 planets and label them in their correct order from the Sun. There is a sample brochure included for reference. Please make sure to check out my blog and see ideas from my "Space Day". http://completelykindergarten.blogspot.com/2013/05/sublime-space-unit.html

This is a simple and engaging way of helping your students get to know each other. The students will be given 10 strips with their names on it, which they will cut out. They will walk around the room and look at the posters, and if they identify with that poster, they will tape one of their name strips underneath. At the end of the activity, the students will walk back around the room, and survey the number of names underneath each poster to complete a graph. The idea behind this activity is not only getting to know more about each other and to see what one student might have in common with another, but also to break any pre-conceived ideas about others in the class. We as people are quick to judge a book by its cover, and this activity allows students to see each other differently. This packet includes: Cover page Explanation page 10 posters of "I like..." statements and photos Graphing page. Please make sure to rate and leave feedback!

This is a set of 3 activity sheets to use when comparing a Goldfish and a Goldfish Cracker. Typically teachers have taught Living and Non-Living using an earthworm and a gummy worm, but I found this was a better alternative for those not willing to bring live worms to school, with the added bonus of getting a class pet!

This is a set of question cards designed to get students used to giving answers and collecting data on a daily basis. Questions can be simple or require a more critical thinking approach, but all questions require a yes or no answer. Simply print out, laminate, and cut the cards, being sure to post a new question each day. Provide 3 containers beneath where the daily question is posted, (1 for yes, 1 for no, and 1 for holding counters such as pennies, marbles, cubes, etc...). When students enter class they read the question, select a counter, and place it in the container for yes or no dependent on their answer. Assign one student daily or weekly as the tallier who must go and total the counters for yes and no. being sure to record it as well. Please make sure to rate and leave feedback!

This is a 4 page booklet designed around a lesson about keeping teeth clean. Students will make a statement about what will happen to teeth when we don't clean them, and will write a question about the experiment. Then students will each take an egg and coat it with a mixture of crushed cereal and milk or water. The mixture needs to be quite sticky so that it creates a coating on the egg shell. The crushed cereal mixture is to simulate "chewed food" while the egg represents a tooth. Once the egg is coated, students place the egg in a cup or bowl and leave it to dry. This may take about 3-5 days depending on the room temperature, so it is best to start this experiment at the beginning of the week. On the final day, students examine their eggs, and feel what happened to the food (it should have solidified). They then take a toothbrush and try to brush as much of the food off as possible. This should be quite challenging and may require excess force. If some students are too rough, the egg will break, which can simulate tooth decay in real life. Students then complete the rest of the experiment booklet.

This is a simple recording sheet for the standard "healthy teeth" eggs experiment. Please make sure to rate and leave feedback!
