High School – REAL Science Challenge

REAL Sc Lab – DIY Bath Bombs Project

Kent — Thu, 24 Aug 2023 05:25:19 +0000

Looking for a way to teach "designing solutions" by building and testing prototypes in a hands-on way in chemistry? Yes, in chemistry, where students typically don't get to build or test prototypes. We've come up with a lab that does just that - by getting students to build bath bombs! Best of all, it's been tested with our students - and they LOVE it! This package comes with:

Pre-Lab activities that review basic content knowledge (ie. acids and bases, rates of reactions).
Student sheets (ie. instructions, data and reflection sheets) that lead students through the process of making, testing, and refining their prototypes.
Teachers' notes (ie. set up and lab instructions, rubrics, sample guides) that lead teachers through how we've successfully run it with our students.

REAL SC – Science Riddle Glossary

Kent — Wed, 16 Aug 2023 13:00:03 +0000

How Can We Use Science Riddles to Engage our Learners?

Here are some suggestions on how you might use riddles in your classroom:

Post slides on a screen as a quick bellringer, for review or discussion. Have students discuss with each other what they believe the solution to the riddle is and how they know (drawing from their own knowledge and hints in the riddle).
Post slides in your classroom as words students will learn during the unit.
Copy riddles onto your tests to assess vocabulary definitions. Instead of just having students provide the solution, have them explain how they came to their solution (by drawing on what they know and hints in the riddle).

All terms in this package are used in the science for the middle and high school classroom (YES, we did try to align it with the NGSS and BC curriculum!).

Better Science Graphs – Potential and Kinetic Energy

Looking for some graphs and problems for students to practice applying potential, kinetic, and conservation of energy? Tired of the typical looking science graph? In this package, we've created our own, Better Science graphs along with corresponding problem sets to do just that. Your students will definitely be challenged through these graphs. This package comes with:

6 Worksheets with 6 Awesome Graphs (along with a bunch of smaller graphs) for students to practice analyzing data and calculating kinetic and potential energies.
2 worksheets with corresponding graphs and problems that introduce potential and kinetic energy.
Complete answer keys for each worksheet.

How do you practice the science skill, "organizing, evaluating, and communicating information"? We use April Fools' Day! In this activity, we have 5 April Fools' Day hoaxes and 5 outrageous scientific discoveries - but can your students figure out which is which? They'll have to evaluate each claim (which we have a template for) to find out. This bundle comes with:

10 Worksheets that each have a claim for students to evaluate.
A template on each worksheet to lead students through the process of evaluation.
