We can lie and pretend lab safety is not the most

We can lie and pretend lab safety is not the most boring unit in the world but we all know the truth…

It kinda sucks.

The problem is? It’s important and completely necessary to go over. 💁🏻‍♀️

You gotta teach it so your students aren’t showing up to your class on lab day in Crocs with a bag of Takis in hand asking if they can taste the chemicals.

Take this unit as an opportunity to show them what your teaching is all about. I like to use warm ups, task cards and choice board projects in my middle school science class so I use those during the unit. Its gives them a taste of what some of the activities during the year will be like.

🧪 You can do gallery walks with the task cards to get them up and moving. Play a class game with them to review the symbols, etc.

🧪 Warm ups help me get the students used to the routine of starting a warm up every day when they walk into the class.

🧪 The choice board project is their first project in the class and they always love the ability to be creative early on in the year when the stakes aren’t so high for remembering the core content from the standards.

You can grab these lab safety resources and SO MANY other ✨freeeeeee✨ middle school science resources from my free resource library.

Imagine being a 6th grader on your very first day

Imagine being a 6th grader on your very first day of middle school. You’re walking into your 5th period science class and once again, you have a teacher telling you all about their rules and procedures.

By the end of the day, your brain is basically scrambled eggs and you can’t remember which classes you can eat in, which class has bathroom passes and which one requires that composition notebook.

This is why I give my students a syllabus. I want all that important info to be in one document that the students can take home, show their parents and refer to throughout the year. I even put it online!

My syllabus answers allllll the questions:
🧪 what do I need for this class?
🧪 what is the grading policy?
🧪 how can I contact my teacher?
🧪 notebook books or binders
🧪 what are the class rules?
🧪 can I use my phone in class?
🧪 how can I access missing work if I’m absent?
🧪 what are we learning in this class?

All in one clean document. This has saved me. I don’t have to answer a million questions because most of the info is right there for them. I give these out at meet the teacher night, open house, etc. parents are so thankful for them!

Not gonna lie, I also had so much fun making these. I made templates for almost all science classes:

Earth science
Earth space science
Life science
Physical science
Biology
Chemistry
Environmental science
Zoology
Anatomy and physiology
Marine Science
Aquatic science
Integrated science

“Oh crap, I forgot to change the warm up questio

“Oh crap, I forgot to change the warm up question!”

Me, every other day, running across the hall to think of a new warm up question for my middle school science students.

Ask any of my teacher friends, this was me allllll the time.

I got sick of being that person so I sat down for a few days last summer and cranked ‘em all out for an entire year and beyond.

And guess who wasn’t that scrambling teacher last year? ME 👈

It felt good. I even spiraled the warm ups so that each week had a mix of physical science, life science and earth space science questions.

Not only did I stop scrambling, but these warm ups because a valuable tool for standardized testing review. I took five minutes out of each class period to review a previously taught topic and it really helped my students remember things they learned earlier in the year and years before.

When testing time came around, my students told me these warm ups helped them SO MUCH.

This was a win-win for me and I know they can be for you too!

Get your time back, stop scrambling and help your students retain all that info you spend so much time teaching.

🧪 225 EDITABLE warm ups
🧪 In print and slides
🧪 Google slides versions
🧪 Perfect addition to interactive science notebook books or binders

Interactive science notebooks can definitely be ov

Interactive science notebooks can definitely be overwhelming when you’re first starting out. 🤪

Where do you start?
What type of notebook?
How do you separate it with tabs?
What do I have my students include in their notebooks?
How often do I use them?
Glue? Tape?

I’ve got alllll these answers and more for you in my interactive science notebook guide. I give you my favorite tips and strategies for getting set up and making them successful for you and your students.

No gatekeeping here 🚫

I’ve even included some covers you can use for your classes this year and a table of contents template.

All for ✨ freeeeeeeeee ✨

Who doesn’t love a good set of new resources?

Especially when you don’t have to spend a single dollar?

I created the free resource library for middle school science teachers for this reason 📚

Choice boards, task cards, lessons, activities, labs, interactive notebook resources, pacing guides and more!

Whether you’re teaching earth space science, life science or physical science, there’s something in there for you!

“Wait… I’m teaching WHAT this year?” Yeah

“Wait… I’m teaching WHAT this year?”

Yeah, that was me.

I was literally about to hop on a plane to go home after my family summer vacation when my principal called and told me.

TWO DAYS before I was scheduled to go back to work.

Yeah, I panicked a little. 🥴

I had taught life science before, but as part of a comprehensive science class, not on its own.

I had to figure out how I was going to teach life science, how I was going to pace my topics and most importantly, how the heck I was going to keep these kids engaged.

Needless to say, I managed to figure it out. I made sure to carefully pace my lessons, map it all out, accounting for all those breaks/days off and I pulled it off.

AND, I organized it all for you to use too so you don’t have to do it alone. Grab the same pacing guide I use and take control of the school year before it even starts. 🧬
