There is something about a bingo card that turns even the most reluctant students into highly competitive academic warriors.

And honestly? I’ll take it.

If you’re tired of reviewing Science & Engineering Practices with another worksheet, this bingo game makes students actually engage with the vocabulary instead of just copying definitions and forgetting them 10 minutes later.

✔️ 45 unique bingo cards
✔️ Low prep and easy to use
✔️ Perfect for review days, stations, test prep, sub plans, and early finishers
✔️ Aligns to the 8 NGSS Science & Engineering Practices, Florida Nature of Science standards, and Texas TEKS
✔️ Reinforces vocabulary like hypothesis, evidence, variables, control groups, peer review, models, prototypes, data analysis, and more

The best part? Students can’t just randomly mark spaces and hope for the best. They actually have to know the vocabulary terms that match the definitions being called out.

Print them once, laminate them, and you’ve got a review game you can pull out year after year.

Because if middle schoolers are going to be competitive anyway, we might as well make it educational. 😏

Everyone treats lab safety like the boring thing you have to get through before the “real science” starts.
But what if lab safety is actually the BEST unit you’ll teach all year?

Hear me out...

Lab safety content isn’t usually difficult for students to understand. That’s exactly why it’s the perfect time to teach something even MORE important: your classroom procedures.

✅ How to use an interactive science notebook
✅ How to complete task cards or other assignments
✅ How projects/grouping work in your classroom
✅ How to submit assignments
✅ How grading and feedback work
✅ How to participate in class discussions
✅ How to use warm-ups and bell ringers
✅ How and when content will be reviewed
✅ How quizzes and tests are going to look

When students aren’t overwhelmed by challenging content, they can focus their brainpower on learning how your classroom runs.

Think of your lab safety unit as your classroom training camp.
The routines and expectations you establish during those first few weeks will save you HOURS of frustration later in the year.

That’s why I created FREE lab safety warm-ups, task cards, and a choice board that help you teach lab safety while simultaneously practicing classroom procedures with engagement included.

Want them?

I’m going to be real with you all and admit that my students notebooks always end up being a mix of all three. 🤪

I’ve got commitment issues with my choice of adhesive and I’m adult enough to admit that.

Glue sticks don’t always get the job done.

Wet glue can turn into a literal nightmare even with 8th graders. That whole “ a dot is a lot thing” is a mantra in my classroom when those bottles come out but hey, they’re more reliable than the gluestick in some cases.

Tape is just expensive. It mostly does that job but the tape gets abused too. 😂

So tell me, what are you all having your students use?!

Middle school students can lose literally anything

Middle school students can lose literally anything.

A pencil.
 A worksheet you gave them 10 seconds ago. A permission slip.
 The assignment they swear they turned in yesterday that you later found in a random classroom drawer 🙃

That’s exactly why I love interactive science notebooks.

Instead of papers floating around backpacks, desks, random classroom drawers, lockers, and the mysterious void where assignments disappear, everything stays in one place.

✔️ Keeps students organized ✔️ Creates a built-in study guide all year long ✔️ Holds students accountable for their work ✔️ Makes absent work easier to manage ✔️ Gives students a portfolio of their learning ✔️ Helps parents actually see what students are doing in class ✔️ Saves your sanity when grading or checking for completion

If you’ve been curious about using interactive science notebooks but aren’t sure where to start, I’ve got you covered.

Comment INBG and I’ll send you my FREE Interactive Notebook Guide, complete with notebook setup tips, FREE notebook covers, and a table of contents page to help you get started. 📓 ✏️
