Your students will love this engaging science review activity. Everyone loves BINGO and it makes for a great review activity that is fun and competitive. This interactive game reinforces key scientific concepts and theories, ensuring curriculum relevance and accuracy. The game package includes 36 unique 4x4 bingo cards featuring essential terms and concepts from Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration, a set of call-out cards with clear and concise definitions tailored to the students' level, and detailed gameplay instructions. To play, simply distribute the bingo cards to your students along with markers or chips. Read out the definitions from the call-out cards in a random order, and have students place a marker on the corresponding term on their card. The first student to complete a row or column exclaims "Bingo!" and emerges victorious. Following the game, engage in a discussion of the terms to reinforce understanding and clarify any misconceptions. The beauty of this game is that it allows for multiple rounds of learning and review. Teachers will appreciate the game's ability to encourage active participation and engagement in the classroom setting, catering to various student learning styles and promoting differentiated learning. By matching definitions to terms on their bingo cards, students actively engage with the material, enhancing their retention and comprehension of complex scientific theories. Here is a sample from the instructions. BINGO – Instructions, Terms, and Descriptions Cut out and distribute the BINGO cards to your students. Each student will get a unique card. Students can use markers or chips to cover squares that have been called. Print out and cut out each term/description below – these are the call-out cards. Fold each call-out card and place in a hat or box and remove one at a time. After you’ve read the call-out card description, your students are to place a marker on the term associated with the description located on their card. The first student to get 4 in a row horizontally or vertically, wins. Ensure accuracy by checking marked terms on student card to the called-out descriptions.

Glory Road (2006) – Complete Movie Guide
P.E. & Health, ELA, Sports, Physical Education, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, Activities

"Glory Road" is a sports drama film based on the true story of the 1965-66 Texas Western College basketball team, which made history by becoming the first team with an all-Black starting lineup to win the NCAA national championship. The movie follows coach Don Haskins, played by Josh Lucas, as he recruits talented but overlooked Black players from across the country to join his team. The players face discrimination and racism both on and off the court, but with Haskins' guidance and leadership, they learn to work together and overcome the odds. The team's success attracts national attention, and they face intense pressure and scrutiny as they compete in the NCAA tournament. The climactic championship game against the heavily favored University of Kentucky becomes a watershed moment in the history of college basketball and a symbol of progress in the struggle for civil rights. The movie was praised for its inspiring message of perseverance and unity in the face of adversity, as well as its depiction of the challenges and sacrifices made by athletes and activists fighting for racial equality. This 16-question movie guide will help keep the students during the movie! Teacher created and student approved! Enjoy! Ready to use - no prep! The video is available on iTuens and Amazon Prime.

"Dunkirk" is a 2017 war movie directed by Christopher Nolan, which tells the story of the evacuation of British and Allied soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk during World War II. The movie is divided into three overlapping stories: one following a young British soldier named Tommy, played by Fionn Whitehead, as he tries to escape Dunkirk; another following a civilian mariner named Mr. Dawson, played by Mark Rylance, as he sails to Dunkirk to help rescue soldiers; and a third following Royal Air Force pilot Farrier, played by Tom Hardy, as he tries to protect the evacuating ships from German fighter planes. As the German army advances on Dunkirk, the British army, along with French and Belgian troops, find themselves trapped on the beaches, with the only hope of survival being a massive evacuation by sea. The movie depicts the brutal and chaotic nature of war, as well as the bravery and determination of soldiers and civilians alike. "Dunkirk" was praised for its stunning visuals and immersive sound design, which captured the intense and harrowing nature of war. The movie was also applauded for its unique storytelling structure, which created a sense of urgency and tension throughout the film. "Dunkirk" was a critical and commercial success, earning numerous accolades, including three Academy Awards. This product comes with a worksheet detailing the background of Dunkirk. The student worksheet comes with reading comprehension questions and a plotting activity. (I highly encourage you to complete the worksheet prior to watching the film). The movie viewing guide comes with 20-questions and timestamps. I have also included 2 reflection questions. Ready to use - no prep!
