These resources contain interactive PowerPoint lessons, assessments and visual guided notes to review the key information related to the topic.
They are editable to meet the needs of your students and they include a colorful Google Slides version of both the PowerPoint lesson and guided notes to use digitally!

- An editable assessment containing 25 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.
- A self-grading Google Forms version of the assessment. The link is in the resource. The google Forms assessment has the same questions but they are all multiple choice.
2. Editable and Self-Grading Task Cards (Print and Google Slides)
Each unit includes a set of 24 editable task cards that can be used in a classroom or digitally for online learning through Google Forms.
They are no prep and they are self grading!
They can be easily printed, cut and laminated for use in the classroom with a ready-to-print student answer sheet.
Review vocabulary and key concepts related to the topics.
The links for Google Forms are available in the resource. An answer key is also included in the resource as well as Google Forms.
Task cards can be printed 1 per page or 4 per page. The answer sheet can be printed 1 per page or 2 per page to save paper. I typically print 2 per page so they’re perfect for gluing into interactive notebooks.
*Please note that the text is editable in each task card but the titles and clip art are not editable.
3. Editable Warm Ups/Exit Tickets (Print and Google Slides)
2-3 weeks of editable warm up questions that could also be used as exit tickets! Digital or print versions that are easy to print or assign and go!
Use these as bellringers to get your students ready for the day or end the class with a ticket out the door. Google Slides versions are also included for online learning!
Each question is in short or long response format so students explain the topic and 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.
Included with the warm ups/exit tickets:
✅ 2 weeks of warm ups/exit tickets (10 total).
✅ 3 editable templates to fit the needs of you and your students
✅ PowerPoint Slides with the questions to project for your students
✅ Answer key
