Middle School Study Skills Curriculum | Executive Functioning Units Advisory 6-8 Study skills for middle school shouldn't mean telling students to “try harder.” This 10-unit curriculum explicitly teaches the systems, strategies, and habits students need to manage six or more classes and become more independent learners. 📦 WHAT'S INCLUDED ⭐ Facilitator Guide 📋 Scope & Sequence with flexible pacing options 📝 Student Self-Inventory 🧠 10 complete study skills units 🗂️ Organization systems 📅 Time management and backward planning 🎯 Attention and focus strategies 📖 Active reading ✏️ Cornell note-taking and note revision 🧠 Retrieval, spacing, interleaving, and elaboration 📝 Test preparation and error analysis 🙋 Self-advocacy and asking for help 📚 Subject-specific strategies for math, science, humanities, and world language ✂️ Printable student tools, logs, templates, and trackers 📓 30-prompt reflection journal 🏠 Family Guide 📊 Assessment and Progress Tracking 🏫 HOW TO USE IT IN THE CLASSROOM Every lesson follows the same predictable 30-minute structure : Hook — challenge a common student belief Model — teacher thinks aloud Guided Practice — students try the strategy Transfer Task — students apply it to real coursework Close — students reflect briefly Choose the pacing that fits your program: Year-long advisory: one unit per month Quarter-long elective: two units per week Intervention or tutoring: teach the skill connected to the student's presenting need The transfer component is especially important. Students don't just practice study skills on worksheets. They apply them to work from their actual classes. 🎯 SKILLS & LEARNING GOALS Students learn how to: Build physical and digital organization systems Capture assignments in one reliable place Plan across multiple classes Break long-term projects into milestones Reduce distractions and use focus blocks Preview and actively monitor reading Take useful notes and revise them within 24 hours Study using retrieval and spaced practice Prepare for tests using practice testing Analyze mistakes and adjust study methods Ask teachers specific, appropriate questions Match study strategies to different subjects The resource supports CCSS ELA, CASEL, and executive-function skills including planning, organization, task initiation, working memory, metacognition, and self-monitoring. ⭐ WHY TEACHERS LOVE IT Less lecturing. More actual skill-building. Students are given practical systems they can use immediately. Built for middle school. The lessons address the jump from one highly scaffolded classroom to multiple teachers, deadlines, digital systems, and cumulative assessments. No moralizing. The curriculum treats organization, procrastination, and studying as skills with teachable mechanisms—not character flaws. Easy to monitor. The four-point rubric tracks independence, consistency, transfer, and growth without turning study skills into a traditional academic grade. Designed for independence. By Grade 8, students are encouraged to transfer these systems across classes and prepare for the demands of high school. ✨ Give middle school students the tools to understand how to be a student —before high school makes the gaps more expensive. Download the Study Skills Resource Pack for Grades 6–8 and give your students routines they can actually use across their school day.

Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length.

Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling.

A simple history of eye protection: smoky quartz lenses in 12th-century China and Inuit snow goggles with narrow slits to cut glare. How sunglasses became part of everyday life (experiments with tints; boardwalk sales in 1929; polarized lenses arriving in 1936). What UV light is (invisible but harmful over time) and what UV400 labeling means in the passage (filtering nearly all UVA/UVB up to 400 nanometers). How polarized lenses reduce reflected sparkle off flat surfaces like roads and water, making shapes easier to see. Learning Goals Define glare using details from the passage. Explain how tinted lenses help eyes feel more comfortable in bright sunlight. Describe two early ways people protected their eyes from harsh light. Explain how sunglasses became popular for everyday use using the dates and examples given. Describe what UV light is and what UV400 means in the passage. Explain how polarized lenses help with reflections off water and roads. Key Vocabulary From the Text glare — sharp, shiny light that bounces off surfaces. tinted — made darker, like a shaded window for eyes. quartz — a mineral used like simple dark lenses long ago. ultraviolet — invisible light that can harm eyes and skin over time. polarized — lens type that reduces reflections and sparkle.

COLORS IN THE AMAZON RAINFOREST BOOK AND ACTIVITIES
ELA, STEM, Math, Counting, Early Math, Patterns, Language Development, Kindergarten, Crafts, Activities, Read Alouds, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables

Take your Pre-K and kindergarten learners on a journey through the Amazon rainforest with this fun-filled set of activities. There’s something for all types of learners as they focus on colors and animal adaptations in the rainforest biome. They’ll begin their journey with an engaging mini-book that tells about 10 rainforest animals. Created with beginning readers in mind, the story offers repetitive sentences, sight words, and colorful graphics. On each page learners will also be introduced to adjectives describing adaptations of each animal. Afterwards, each learner will have the opportunity to personalize their own book. This is a great way for them to build connections with learning and practice their reading skills with family and friends. Next, they’ll move on to several hands-on activities where they will strengthen foundational fine motor skills through tracing, cutting, gluing, manipulating modeling dough, and pretending to feed a baby hummingbird using a pipette. Along with those skills, your learners will practice concepts such as counting, writing, identifying color words, sorting, patterns, and following directions. Each activity was designed to meet current educational standards while highlighting the unique characteristics of animals such as the pink river dolphin, harpy eagle, black caiman, leaf-cutter ant, and red-eyed tree frog. You will note the STEM activities require specific materials, many of which can be found in your own teacher treasure trove or borrowed from teacher friends. While the craftivities do require initial prep work, they will add color to your educational environment. What’s more, your learners will take pride in seeing their masterpieces displayed during your rainforest themed unit. The books and many of the activities are available in both color and black & white versions. An answer key is also provided for worksheets. Below you will find a list of details found within the pages of this product. BOOKS: Two versions of “Take a Look!” – one a basic read-along, the other an interactive read-along. STEM: Activity 1: learners will estimate the number of blue morpho butterfly eggs that will fit on various sized leaves and place eggs (pony beads) on said leaves to show visual representation. Activity 2: learners will use modeling clay to build an anthill to house an estimated number of leaf-cutter ants that will fit inside their home. Activity 3: learners will use a pipette to feed the baby hummingbird an estimated number of nectar (colored water) droplets. Activity 4: learners will use Zoobs (anacondas) to create various types of lines and 2-D shapes. CRAFTIVITIES: #1: learners will cut leaves and glue them to the leaf-cutter anthill. #2: learners will create a red-eyed tree frog prop to use in conjunction with a short rhyme teaching about the animal’s unique adaptation. #3: learners will add color to a blue morpho butterfly template and then affix eye dots (white stickers) to the butterfly, giving it protection from predators WORKSHEETS: #1: reading comprehension, color word identification #2: color word identification, coloring #3: comparing items that are and are not sharp #4: sorting rainforest animals by the way they move (fly, walk, swim) #5: number identification, 1-to-1 correspondence, painting #6: pink river dolphin life cycle, color word identification, coloring #7: opinion writing using a prompt, drawing/coloring #8: map skills, connect the dots, coloring, drawing #9: tracing, writing, painting #10: drawing, coloring, writing #11: identifying an AB pattern, completing the pattern, drawing an AB pattern #12: following directions, color word identification, drawing, coloring

How It Works in the Classroom Use this 1st grade back to school ELA review as a gentle first-month routine, literacy warm-up, morning work option, whole-group review, intervention support, or independent practice. Each day follows the same student-friendly structure: 📖 Read & Think — Read a short passage and answer three comprehension questions ✏️ Language & Grammar — Review one focused kindergarten language skill 🔤 Word Work — Practice phonics, sight words, vocabulary, or word patterns 📝 Write About It — Complete a short writing task connected to the day’s learning A full lesson is designed to take about 15–25 minutes , with earlier lessons providing lighter review and later lessons combining skills. Use the resource for: ⭐ Back-to-school ELA review ⭐ First grade morning work ⭐ Literacy warm-ups ⭐ Kindergarten skills review ⭐ First month of school activities ⭐ Reading comprehension practice ⭐ Grammar review ⭐ Phonics and word work ⭐ Literacy centers ⭐ Partner practice ⭐ Small groups ⭐ Early finishers ⭐ Intervention and reteaching ⭐ Homework or home practice The included 20-Day Pacing at a Glance chart on page 6 of the Teacher Guide shows how reading, language, and word-work skills spiral from beginning sounds and letter recognition into comprehension, editing, vocabulary, and final review. For a four-week routine, teachers can assign workbook lessons Monday through Thursday and use Friday for games, literacy centers, catch-up, or review. Standards & Learning Goals This first grade literacy review revisits five major strands of kindergarten learning: 📚 Reading Comprehension — main idea, details, characters, setting, sequence, retell, prediction, compare and contrast, cause and effect, story lesson, nonfiction facts, and nonfiction labels ✏️ Grammar & Language — uppercase and lowercase letters, capital letters, periods, question marks, exclamation marks, complete sentences, nouns, verbs, plural nouns, word order, capitalizing names and the word I , and editing 🔤 Phonics & Word Work — beginning sounds, ending sounds, short vowels, CVC words, rhyming, word families, sight words, and syllables 💬 Vocabulary — naming words, synonyms, antonyms, describing words, categories, multiple-meaning words, sequence words, and word building 📝 Writing — labeling, sentence writing, short responses, personal writing, retelling, connected writing, and reflection Across the 20 days, students move from foundational skills such as beginning sounds, ending sounds, uppercase and lowercase letters, rhyming, and CVC words into comprehension skills such as main idea, characters, setting, sequence, retell, prediction, comparing, story lessons, nonfiction facts, cause and effect, and making connections. Later lessons also strengthen sentence construction, editing, plural nouns, adjectives, word order, multiple-meaning words, synonyms, antonyms, and mixed ELA review.

Shell Model – Chemistry Flashcards Without Element Names

Shell Model – Chemistry Flashcards Without Element Names
STEM, Science, Chemistry, Physics, Life Sciences, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Activities, Games, Worksheets & Printables, Task Cards, Quizzes and Tests, Teacher Tools, Word Problems, Flashcards, Escape Room, Experiments

Shell Model – Chemistry Flashcards Without Element Names 118 cards for learning the periodic table Visual practice with atomic structure and electron configurations 🧪🔬 This printable flashcard set gives students a hands-on way to practice atomic structure and the shell model – without revealing the element names. Each of the 118 cards shows the atomic number, the chemical symbol, and a diagram of the electron distribution across shells. This encourages students to actively recall element names and deepen their understanding of how atomic structure relates to the periodic table. I’ve used these cards mainly for review and partner quizzes. Students really have to think: “What element has 11 electrons and that shell pattern?” or “Which group might this symbol belong to?” It shifts the focus from just memorizing the periodic table to actually understanding the structure behind it. What’s included: 118 printable flashcards (PDF) Each card includes: atomic number, symbol, and shell model (no element names) High-resolution layout, easy to print and cut Suggestions for classroom use included Classroom ideas: Use the cards as a “Find the Pairs” game: Print two sets and let students match identical cards or group elements by patterns. Use them for sorting tasks: metals vs. non-metals, main groups vs. transition metals, increasing number of shells, etc. Create mini-quiz stations: One student shows a card, the other has to guess the element name or describe properties based on the shell model. Let students use the cards to quiz themselves or work in pairs for peer learning. The fact that the element name is missing makes the activity more cognitively demanding – great for more advanced learners or as a follow-up to a unit on atomic structure. Students are more engaged when they can “figure things out” rather than just read off answers. The resource is ready to print. For repeated use, laminating is recommended. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from @Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and welcoming learning environment. 🐶

Barbers Reading Comprehension Passage - Cored Ed Encyclopedia

This barbers reading comprehension with lesson plan includes: Visualization (on the front cover) Start your lesson by taking a minute to think and share something about the topic. Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question and additional facts. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well. Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: Barbers Genre: Nonfiction (informational passage) Subject: Social Studies / Careers & Community Primary Topic: What barbers do and how barbering changed over time Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): S Support pages noted in the PDF: visualize prompt, pre-reading trivia, mixed questions, vocabulary activity, creative writing prompt, extension activities + “final facts,” and an answer key. What This Lesson Teaches Best What barbers do: cut, trim, and style hair, and often shave or shape facial hair. How places like barber shops can be about community (talking and sharing news) as well as haircuts. How a job can change over time, including barbers doing medical tasks in the Middle Ages and later separating from doctors and surgeons. How symbols communicate meaning: the spinning striped barber pole connects to earlier work (red/white linked to blood and bandages; a blue stripe is common in the United States). Reading for precise details (e.g., hair “swirls” near the crown; how rotating stripes create an illusion). Learning Goals Students will identify at least two services the passage says many barbers provide. Students will explain why barber shops became popular gathering places in Greece, using details from the text. Students will describe how the barber’s job “grew in surprising directions” during the Middle Ages, based on the passage. Students will describe what “bloodletting” means in the passage. Students will explain what the red and white stripes on a barber pole are often linked to and how the spinning pole can trick the eyes. Students will describe how the passage connects a simple shop sign to a long history (“a simple sign can carry a long memory”). Key Vocabulary From the Text clippers — electric tools that cut hair. mustaches — hair above the upper lip. swirls — curved patterns that twist around. bloodletting — making a small cut to let blood flow. bandages — cloth used to cover a wound.

Scientist Craig Venter - Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Version (PDF & H5P) Craig Venter – Sequencing the Human Genome and the Future of Synthetic Biology Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Exercises (PDF + H5P) 🧬🧪 This 45-minute resource introduces students in grades 9–12 to Craig Venter – a biologist and geneticist who played a major role in decoding the human genome and pushing the boundaries of synthetic biology. Most students know that DNA holds our genetic information, but they’re often surprised to learn how recently the full human genome was sequenced – and how intense the race to do so actually was. Venter took a different approach from public research teams and became one of the first to publish a full genome sequence. Later, he even worked on building synthetic cells – raising big questions about what defines life. To explore this complex but highly relevant topic, I’ve put together a compact and structured lesson. It includes an informational text, a fact sheet, quiz questions with answers, and a creative task for pairs. All materials are available in color and black-and-white, plus there’s an H5P version for digital classrooms. What’s included: A student-friendly overview of Craig Venter and the Human Genome Project A fact sheet to help students sort key information Quiz questions with answer key for review or independent work A creative task where students come up with their own questions and exchange them in pairs Available as printable PDF and interactive H5P 💻 Answer key included ✅ I’ve used this material in lessons on genetics, biotechnology, and current developments in biology. It also works well when discussing how science and society interact – for example, when ethical questions arise from new technologies. The flexible format fits both group work and individual tasks. 🚀 Download now and bring the legacy of Craig Venter into your biology lessons today! 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and inspiring learning environment. 🐶✨

These short readings fit into whatever time you have available. Each one includes a warm-up, a reading, and a set of questions, but it’s flexible — you can do just the reading, the full lesson, or skip the writing section if you need to. Each lesson focuses on a single topic so students don’t get lost. The writing is clear but never childish, making it perfect for grades two through five. Topics range from animals and science to history, inventions, and everyday things. No matter the level of the student, everyone should take away at least one new idea or fact from each lesson. The materials are easy to print, easy to explain, and require no setup. They work well for whole-class teaching, partner work, or independent study.
