Independent and Dependent Variables Activity Cards

We had our post test last week at school and the one area that my students struggled with the most was variables. They know the definitions of independent, dependent, and constant variables but they cannot identify them in a science experiment. So during my Spring Break, I've come up with some activity cards which will hopefully help me reteach this concept next week.
There are 24 activity cards available on my TeacherPayTeacher's site for $3.00. Click below for a little peek! Click here to purchase this great resource.

Identifying Variables

Water Properties Lesson and Lab

So I have to be the WORST teacher blogger ever. I am so exhausted when I get home (and busy chasing a 21 month old) that I have no motivation to do anything school related. But I promise that I will be updating this blog more frequently. I have been busy this year working on some new lessons, labs, and activities and will post several soon.


For now, I wanted to post a teaser lesson/lab for water properties that is available on my TeachersPayTeachers page. Here's what's included for only $6.00!
1.  a 20 slide PowerPoint lesson along with a handout so students can take notes
2. a lab with student worksheets where students rotate to 4 different stations to see surface tension, capillary action, high specific heat, and water as a universal solvent in action
3. a water properties homework sheet
4. water properties quiz

Just click on this link to see the teaser. If you like what you see, click here to purchase it.

Enjoy and please let me know if you have any questions!

Scientific Method Posters

Here are a set of Scientific Method posters that I designed for my classroom.

Enjoy!
