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

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.

A PowerPoint version is included for editing and a PDF version is included for easy printing.

*The questions are editable but the fonts and clip art are not due to copyright.*

Included in this resource:
2 weeks of warm ups/exit tickets (10 total).

1. Lesson, Guided Notes & Assessment

This resource contains a PowerPoint lesson with Cornell notes style guided notes and an assessment that all tie together. This resource is excellent for traditional and digital interactive science notebooks. The PowerPoint and guided notes are also included in Google Slides which make this a perfect digital resource for online learning! There is also a self-grading Google Forms assessment. This is a no prep resource!

The PowerPoint Lesson and guided notes are broken up into 4 different parts:
Engage: This is a question that is used to get students thinking and engaged before the lesson begins. They answer the question in their guided notes.
Checkpoints: These are questions throughout the lesson that assess what students are learning as they go through. The student’s answer these questions in their guided notes. Answer key is included in the PowerPoint.
↵ Bringing it Back: This final question wraps up the lesson by tying student’s new knowledge with the engagement piece.

✐Summarize! Students can summarize their learning by writing, drawing or both.

All links for the Google Slides and Google Forms are included in the resource.

The PowerPoint is editable. The titles, images and clip art are not editable.

Guided Notes:

All the text aside from the title and cover page are editable.

Includes two cover pages for interactive notebook booklets. One in color and one in black and white.

The Google Slides version of the notes includes text boxes for students to add in their own text. A Google Slides “toolbox” is included for students to reference to for changing fonts, adding images, drawings, etc. There are even drag and drop highlighter marks for students to make their notes more interactive.

*There is an included answer key for the guided notes to be easily printed and added to a teacher’s copy of an interactive science notebook.

Assessment:
The assessment contains 20 questions with a mix of vocabulary matching, short answer and multiple choice questions. An answer key is included. Everything is editable except for the title and any included clip art lip art.

A Google Slides version is included as well as a self-grading Google Forms version. The links are included in the resource.
