In this fun game, played similarly to the Apples To Apples game, students will read different stressful situations and choose a strategy they would use for that situation. There are 18 situation cards and 36 strategy cards. Each player draws 5 strategy cards (they do not show the other players which cards they have). The "judge" will draw a situation card and show the other players the card after reading the situation. For example, "You don't know the answers when taking a test." Then the other players will choose a strategy card they would use for that situation and place it face down to near the judge. The judge will read the different strategy cards and choose which one they would most likely choose. Important to convey to students: There is no "wrong" strategy, just a strategy that the judge would most likely use. Then for the next round, a different person is the judge and the game continues. the discarded strategy cards can get placed under the strategy pile. the person whose strategy was chosen, gets the situation card and also gets one point. This is a fun and engaging way to get students talking about different strategies they would use for stress management as well as different types of stressful situations they can manage if they need to. In this resource you will also be getting 2 mindful coloring handouts. This is a great way to finish the lesson after the game. I also like to begin this lesson by introducing a Brain Pop on stress. You can also choose a short video of your choice or a book about stress to prime the students' brains about what stress is, possible triggers of stress and how to cope with stress. Then the game can be played and can reinforce the topic.

Animal Project: Creative Creatures - Biomes, Structural, and Behavioral Adaptations
Science, Life Sciences, Biology, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Environmental Science, Research, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, Activities, Projects
Here's a middle grades science project (for grades 4-7) that will let your students use their creativity to apply their knowledge of biomes and adaptations as they complete research, integrate knowledge from several sources, type a report, and make a detailed diagram ! How to Use: Assign each student an animal or let them chose their own. They need to research that animal’s biome and the adaptations the animal currently has. Next, each student chooses a different biome and moves their animal there. They must use their imagination and logic to predict the adaptations the animal would develop in the new biome. Once each student has completed their notes, they can type or write a report to present the information. I encouraged my students to make a four-paragraph report: Paragraph one: describe initial biome Paragraph two: describe initial adaptations Paragraph three: describe new biome Paragraph four: describe new adaptations Students also create their own visual image of their creative creature (labels encouraged). I like to put all the reports and images together into a class book. This is fun way to showcase the students’ hard work. I have included the title page I use for our class book. I have also included the rubric I use to assess the projects. Graces to Use With: This product is appropriate for students in grades 4-7 depending on when your science curriculum includes biomes, structural/physical and behavioural adaptations, or diversity of life standards. What's Included: A total of 6 pages in PDF Format: - Lesson ideas, links and videos to teach students about biomes and structural and behavioural adaptations. - A 2-page graphic organizer for students to take notes as they complete research. - A rubric to assess the final project. - A title page for your completed class book. If you enjoy this science project, check out some other options in my store: STEM Project: Extreme Environment Technology Design and "Shark Tank" Presentation Science Project: Animal Classes Wanted Posters Controlling Variables in Science Experiments: Independent, Dependent and Controlled

STEM Project: Climate Change Solutions with Assessment Rubric
Science, Technology, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Earth Sciences, Engineering, Environmental Science, STEM, Research, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, Projects, Activities
STEM Project: Climate Change Solutions with Assessment Rubric is designed for middle school students from Grades 6 to 9. It's a real-world resource designed to deepen student understanding of climate change and stimulate critical thinking skills while brainstorming and researching viable solutions based on current and future technologies. This resource can be used in subjects such as Science, Environmental Science, Technology, Engineering and Earth Sciences classes. The hands-on approach in this project fosters active participation among students. They'll start by learning about the root cause of climate change and carbon cycles through online resources before proceeding towards a brainstorming session in order to think of solutions that could help rebalance our planet's atmospheric CO2 levels. Their ideas for technologies or inventions can fall into several categories like reducing greenhouse gases produced by human activities; enhancing photosynthesis to absorb more CO2; reflecting the sun's rays away from Earth; storing excess carbon emissions; or using chemistry principles to transform surplus CO2 into other forms. After choosing their solution concept within their groups or pairs, students delve deep into researching their unique idea. They will attempt to explain how their idea works, what materials are needed, and the optimal locations of implementation. For presentation purposes, students have creative control over whether to choose a poster layout or digital methods like PowerPoint slideshows and video compilations. To help keep things organized throughout the project, there’s an inclusive graphic organizer for note-taking. Additionally, an assessment rubric is provided for grading purposes and to guide the students throughout. Grades to Use With: This project is designed for middle grades students in grades 6-9 or high school special education students. What's Included: A total of 6 pages in PDF Format: Title Page Teacher Instructions 3 Page Graphic Organizer for Students Rubric If you enjoy this project, check out other climate change items in my store.

Science Reading Comprehension Passage and Questions: Baseball Science (Word) This very engaging science reading passage is about the physics of baseball , especially how forces and energy affect the way a baseball moves after it is hit or pitched. It explains how kinetic energy transfers from the bat to the ball, how launch angle affects distance, how air resistance/drag slows the ball, and how spin creates the Magnus effect, which can make pitches curve or make batted balls carry farther. It also explains how weather and location, such as high altitude, warm air, and humidity, can affect how far a ball travels. This passage is designed to bridge the gap between science and literacy through strengthening reading comprehension and sparking scientific curiosity in middle school students. The passage blends English Language Arts skills with accurate science content that supports NGSS classroom practice. Ideal for interdisciplinary learning in ELA and Science.
