Some of the biggest changes i’ve had to get used t

Some of the biggest changes i’ve had to get used to at my new school was having to share a laptop cart with another teacher AND having copy limits each month.

So this is how I adapted!

Having these copies of notes has been so incredibly helpful. Not only is it easy for my students to keep up while I’m going over slides, but it’s also

✏️ been helpful to keep them at the lab tables for the duration of the unit so students can reference them

✏️ are very helpful for my students who have accommodations or need the notes on hand

✏️ great for the students to use even when they forget their notebook at home or in their locker

Students grab for those notes and reference them all the time!

I definitely recommend trying this out if you present slides to your middle school science students for their notes!

When you don’t have time for a full unit but still

When you don’t have time for a full unit but still need students to understand plate boundaries, plate tectonics and convection in the mantle, this mini lesson + guided notes does the prep for you.

✏️ Short, focused lesson = perfect for review or reteaching ✏️ Visual guided notes that help students organize big concepts ✏️ Editable + digital options so it works for your class ✏️ Easy to drop into interactive notebooks or use online

From Wegener and Pangea to convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries—this is one of those resources that saves your planning time and saves your students from having to filter through the fluff.

Less overwhelm and more clarity for everyone.

Not gonna lie… the first 5 minutes of class used t

Not gonna lie… the first 5 minutes of class used to feel like herding caffeinated squirrels.

Now?
Students walk in, grab their notebook, and start their daily science warm-up without me saying a word.

And while they’re working, I’m actually able to:
✏️ take attendance
✏️ answer a quick student question
✏️ pull up today’s slides
✏️ breathe for half a second

The real magic, though, is what the warm-ups do for students.

Instead of multiple choice questions, my warm-ups:

ask students to explain their thinking

practice writing in science (without a full lab report)

show me exactly who gets it… and who needs a little extra help

And because we use the same template every day?
📓 Students keep them organized
📓 They double as built-in study guides
📓 Test review = flipping back, not panic cramming

No extra prep.
No daily copies.
No “wait… what are we doing?” questions.

Just consistent, low-stress structure that makes the rest of the class period smoother.

If you want the exact daily science warm-ups I use in my middle school classroom, comment “bellringer” and I’ll send you the link!

One small change that makes a BIG difference in my classroom are my daily agenda slides. 
Students walk in knowing exactly what to do. Warm-ups are ready. Objectives are clear. 
Admin can pop in and instantly know what we’re working on without having to interrupt the lesson.

They lower student anxiety, keeps me on track, and makes transitions smoother all period long.
 Plus… changing the slides to match each science unit? Instant student buy-in. Plus, I even get excited to change my slides up!

If you’re resetting routines for the new year, this is your sign to try daily slides. They are a game changer!

My go to activity before I teach cells or human body systems is this levels of organization activity ⚛️🫀👩

This helps clear up any confusion about how cells build to create tissues, tissues to organs, organs to organ systems and organ systems to organisms.

This resource even goes beyond those concepts to include atoms, populations and ecosystems to give students an even greater understanding.

Students keep this in their interactive science notebooks and is always a great reference to go look back at during many of our life science units!

This resource can be found in my free resource library for middle school science teachers!

Comment “FRL” to get access to this resource and many more! 📓

Tomorrow is our science INB set up day in my class

Tomorrow is our science INB set up day in my classes 🎉

When I tell you these interactive science notebook covers last the ENTIRE school year, I mean it. 👌

Students love coloring them and making them their own.

Plus, I don’t have to open up each notebook to figure out who’s is who’s. This makes grading just a little bit quicker! 💨

This is one of my favorite notebook hacks that has helped me make using notebooks one of my favorite teaching strategies in middle school science.

If you’re looking for covers for almost any middle school subject, unit tab dividers, reflection pages, vocabulary pages, learning progression scales, assessment trackers and more, I’ve got an interactive notebook set up kit you can check out!
