“Oh, ChemisTREE”🎄 When I tell you I bought

“Oh, ChemisTREE”🎄

When I tell you I bought a whole other artificial tree from Target during Black Friday just for this activity, I’m not lying.

This activity is a hit with my 8th grade physical science students during our matter unit.

Students each get an element ornament, research it, color it and then hang it on the tree when they are done.

Many even ask me if they can make more than 1!

Needless to say, my science teacher heart (and my class Christmas tree) are full 💖 🎄

This activity is quick, low prep and a fun way to add some holiday to decor to your classroom while keeping it aligned to standards!

Comment “element” to get the link to this ✨ freeeeebie✨ sent straight to your inbox!

I’d also love love love to see your class chemistrees if you do this activity!

Organ Ornaments 🫀🎄 Quick, easy and festive

Organ Ornaments 🫀🎄

Quick, easy and festive ✨

The perfect activity to add to your human body systems unit or just a way to review with your middle school science class.

My students LOVED creating these ornaments and had so much pride adding them to our class tree. 🥹

I want you and your students to enjoy these as much as I do so I’m giving these away!

You’ll get
🫀a set of 16 body organ ornaments that allow for students to explain the function of the organ and what body system it belongs to.
🫀teacher instructions with tips to make your own class organ ornaments tree!

I’ve done my element ornaments for years but when I started teaching life science, I knew those 7th graders would be upset if they were left out of the classroom holiday decorating.

So….

I bought another artificial Christmas tree and created these human body organ ornaments for them to make!

ORGANments, if you will.

Or does that sound completely awful?? 😅

Anyway, these will be a freebie at the end of the week! I’ll keep you posted! 🫀

You know I love a good stations lab and there’s

You know I love a good stations lab and there’s no exception when teaching density because this is one of those topics where once they see it, it all makes so much more sense to them.

My 8th grade science class loved these stations and it really helped them understand the difference between mass, volume and density.

They even got the calculations right 🥹

In these stations we:
🧪 practice calculating density using d=m/v
🧪 made a rainbow density tower
🧪 tied in earth space concepts with the densities of earths layers
🧪 found out the density of a chocolate bar (and ate some too 🍫)
🧪 reviewed vocab

In ONE 50 minute class period. 👏

If you haven’t tried stations yet, these are the perfect ones to try for your classes.

Set a 6-10 minute timer for each station, have them rotate at the buzzer and circulate while they work. They are so much easier to do than they look!

Thanksgiving break is just around the corner and I can almost taste it 🥹

I’m ready, the students are ready and I’m sure you’re all feeling the same way.

I’m taking a few days to review with my students this week with one of my favorite activities: stations.

I made these Thanksgiving Science Stations to keep up with the Thanksgiving theme but also hit all those standards and then some.

These stations review a ton of topics such as
🦃 Cells
🦃 Newton’s Laws of Motion
🦃 Adaptations in organisms
🦃 Carbon Cycle and Human Impact
🦃 Seasons on Earth
🦃 Solubility
🦃 Symbiosis
🦃 Decomposers
🦃 Heat Transfer

If the thought of teaching reproduction to your middle school science class is making you cringe a bit…

You’re not alone. 🤪

My best tip is to just let them get their giggles out the first day and let them you know that having to say all those vocabulary words is will make them laugh.

They USUALLY get over it after the first day!

Good news is that my newest unit is ready! Everything you need to teach asexual vs sexual reproduction in one unit bundle. 🎉
