Snowflakes (using paper chromatography)
This activity uses coffee filters and water-soluble ink pens to make beautiful snowflakes to use as classroom decorations during the holidays! They can be taped up onto windows, used as binder decorations, on the tree, etc. The neat thing about these snowflakes is that students use the principles of chromatography to separate the black ink into it's many colors and learn something while having fun! I use this same activity with juniors and seniors in high school. Kids of all ages have fun w

Symmetry Light Energy Lab Activity Create a Symmetrical Design PRINT and DIGITAL
In this STEAM science lab experiment, students create a symmetrical design using a window as a light box for tracing. In the process, they'll learn about symmetry and how light boxes work (sunlight shines through translucent paper and casts shadows because of the opaque ink markings). This activity is the perfect way to blend math (geometry) and science (light energy) with art and design! This resource includes: teacher directions with discussion questions and suggested extension activitiesbackg

Create an Alien Planets of the Solar System Project
This is a fun, engaging, multidisciplinary project that allows students to demonstrate their learning of the planets of the Solar System.
Students will research a planet and design an alien that could potentially live on the planet. Their alien's characteristics should reflect the characteristics they learned about the planet they researched. They will then create a model of their alien using whatever materials are available to them.
Included in this package are the following:

Building a Fan, Engineering Project, Team or Individual Activity (Word & PDF)
This is my favorite engineering project, EVER. It worked wonderfully. The students were engaged every step of the way. It was accessible and easy for them to evaluate their success. They were motivated to improve their designs, and for the more artistic-minded students, the criteria to be attractive gave them an outlet to incorporate aesthetic elements in their design.
This project works as a team or individual project. It works for a wide range of ages, and there are several opportunities to e

Discover Color: a mixing experiment
*Also available in the Everything Art Bundle*
This exciting activity is a great way for students to independently discover color mixtures and values, and take notes on their discoveries. There are instructions, but the color choices are left open for students to do their own experimenting. Great for the 2nd grade and up art room or classroom. A second sheet of blank paper is needed in addition to this sheet.

What is a Year? (Inner Planet Revolutions)
Scientific Method inquiry about the solar system/space
Students will show the distances of the inner planets from the sun compared to each other. Students will show the revolution of each planet using yarn then hang all 4 pieces next to each other to see the difference in their length. Students will come to the conclusion that planets further away from the sun have longer years because of the distance needed to travel in one revolution. The end product will be a visual of the inner planets' orb

Dog Species Memorization Activity
Good ol' fashioned memorization has lost favor in much of modern pedagogical theory. This is a big mistake by educational theorists and will undoubtedly be corrected someday. Improving a student's memory is something that gives benefits that last a lifetime! This activity is a fun and easy way in which to help students with their memories. Species Specific: Dogs can also be easily used as a springboard activity into other areas of biology, including adaptation & evolution, and genetics. Ide

Insect ID Dichotomous Key and Insect Observation Labs
The art of observation is the root of most great science. It is rare that we remember to take the time to let our students really take the time to look at the world around them in detail. The purpose of this lab is three fold. 1) I want students to look at a living specimen in detail and recognize it has particular features to help it fulfill its niche.

Nature Walk #4 Leaf Collage
I designed these nature walks to give fourth, fifth, and sixth graders field experience with the concepts being taught in Earth, Life, and Physical Science. My students were fortunate to have woods, trails, and a creek so near their school building that parent permission slips were not necessary. They are also good to use as an “icebreaker” to begin discussions about the “Big Questions” of Earth, Life, and Physical Science.
