What types of stations are included in the Back to School Stations Activity?

• Class Expectations: Students practice using claim, evidence, reasoning (CER) by identifying classroom expectations based on observations in your classroom.
• Make a Map: Students will draw their own map of your classroom. This will help them identify important areas around the room.
• Name that Tool: Students will test their knowledge of science classroom tools they might see in your classroom.
• All About You: Students fill out an “all about me” page so you can learn more about them, their interests, learning preferences and more.
• Tallest Towers: A team-building activity that students complete in groups to build the tallest tower in a designated amount of time with tape and index cards.
• Goal Setting: Students create goals for themselves for the year. These goals are academic, long-term, social, skill development, personal, etc.
• Syllabus Scavenger Hunt: Students will read through your syllabus and find important information that you want them to know.
• Paper Airplanes: Another team-building activity in which students work in groups to make a paper airplane in a designated amount of time that can travel at least 12 feet.

The Interactive Notebook Set Up Kit Includes:

• Editable Table of contents page
• Editable “Learning Goals” page Create a learning progression scale for students to rate themselves based on their knowledge and skills.
• Editable Key Vocabulary Page
• Editable Weekly Bellringer pages (also includes “warm ups” or “do now”)
• Editable “Reflection on Learning” page. Student reflect on units/chapter using the learning progression scale and answer questions about strengths/weaknesses.
• Assessment Tracker
• Editable Grading Rubric
• Editable Tabs

What are the included everyday lab templates?

• Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER) Science Templates: This claim, evidence, reasoning resource is perfect for in person or distance learning in a virtual classroom. Students can apply the CER method by exploring new science topics in any science class including Earth Science, Life Science, Physical Science, Biology, Chemistry and more!

• Scientific Method Lab Report Templates: Are you tired of creating a lab report for every lab or experiment you complete with your students? This generic scientific method template works with almost any science lab as a report that allows students to follow the steps of a science experiment, gather data and present conclusions. Students can even use this for distance learning with online simulations, videos, science interactive notebooks (digital or print) or as teachers perform live lab demonstrations virtually!

• Predict, Observe, Explain (POE) Science Templates: Predict, observe, explain is a perfect method to use when using demonstrations, videos or simulations with your students to keep them engaged throughout a science lesson as they spark curiosity. This resource can be used for distance learning or in person! Students follow along with the teacher as they make predictions (hypotheses) about what they expect to happen, make observations and then explain the phenomena. This can be used as a opener to a new concept or lesson, an exit ticket or for a science interactive notebooks (digital or print) activity!

These spiral review middle school science warm ups are perfect for you if:

• You teach an integrated science (Earth/Space, Life Science and Physical science) class and want to be able to review topics briefly throughout the year.
• You teach a class that will have a science standardized test that reviews Earth/Space, Life Science, Physical Science and Nature of Science concepts.
• You want students to actually explain their answers instead of just answering multiple choice/true false questions.
• You want your students focused on learning from the moment they walk in the door.
• You want grading your warm ups to be easily graded.
• You want to keep your warm ups digital.
• You want your students to have a portfolio of warm-up questions so they can easily review and refer back to previously taught material.
• You want a meaningful learning activity to also double as a classroom management strategy.

Each question is in short or long response format so students explain the topic and show their understanding.

Included in this resource:

45 weeks of warm-ups (225 total).
Editable slides templates

Editable student answer pages

Google slides versions of slides and answer pages to use digitally or with digital interactive science notebooks
PowerPoint Slides with the questions to project for your students
Answer key

Table of contents

Blank slides and student pages to add your own questions

There are 3 ways to use these editable warm ups/exit tickets:

1. Use them with slides as students fill out the answers on their own personal answer sheet.

2. Use the answer sheets with the questions on them without the slides. I personally have my students hole punch them each week to add into a pronged folder or binder to use as a study tool. You can even print them at 90% so students can glue them into their interactive science notebooks!

3. Use them for online learning or digitally with the Google Slides version. This is also perfect for digital interactive student notebooks.
