Unexplained Science Files | Reading & Critical Thinking | Grades 6-8
ELA, Science, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Grade 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Workbooks, Worksheets
Unexplained Science Files is a 60-page science and critical reading resource designed for students in Grades 6–8. Students investigate unusual scientific reports while learning to separate observations and facts from claims, interpretations, and speculation. Throughout the resource, students examine scientific mysteries using reading passages, eyewitness accounts, data tables, maps, field reports, scientific explanations, media posts, and other evidence. Rather than jumping to conclusions, students evaluate the strength of evidence, compare possible explanations, identify missing information, and develop cautious evidence-based conclusions. Students investigate topics involving unusual lights, underwater sounds, moving rocks, radio signals, bioluminescence, changing water levels, unexplained sounds, and visual perception. Additional activities challenge students to fact-check claims, identify overclaims, rank evidence, evaluate source reliability, and complete a final investigation. Skills practiced include: reading comprehension, informational text analysis, fact vs. claim vs. speculation, observation vs. interpretation, source reliability, evidence evaluation, data interpretation, cause and effect, compare and contrast, media literacy, identifying overclaims, alternative explanations, Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER), and critical thinking. Included: 60 total pages, 8 main science investigation cases, review and synthesis activities, a final investigation, student reflection/certificate, and a complete answer key on Pages 55–60. This resource is suitable for middle school science, ELA and science integration, independent practice, small-group work, enrichment, critical-thinking lessons, science literacy, and evidence-based reasoning practice.

Abandoned Places Mysteries Reading Comprehension
ELA, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Grade 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Workbooks
Abandoned Places Mysteries is a 60-page reading comprehension investigation resource designed for students in Grades 6–8. Students take on the role of investigators as they examine abandoned locations, read narrative and informational evidence, compare sources, evaluate clues, and develop evidence-based explanations. Rather than simply answering recall questions, students are challenged to distinguish observations from inferences, identify relevant evidence, analyze cause and effect, reconstruct chronology, compare and contrast information, synthesize multiple sources, and evaluate competing theories. The mystery-style cases use abandoned locations and unexplained-looking situations to create engaging reading practice while keeping the focus on evidence-based reasoning. Students examine passages, documents, tables, timelines, maps, data, objects, and other clues before deciding which explanation is best supported. Skills practiced include: reading comprehension, inference, text evidence, setting and mood, foreshadowing, chronology, cause and effect, compare and contrast, source evaluation, synthesis, critical thinking, and evaluating theories. Included: 60 total pages, multiple abandoned-place investigation cases, reading passages, evidence-analysis activities, source comparison tasks, written-response activities, case conclusions, and a teacher answer key. This resource is suitable for middle school ELA, independent practice, small-group reading, reading centers, enrichment, review, and critical-thinking activities.
