Product description
From the author
This Physical and Chemical Properties Lab Station Activity has seven task stations and two catch-up stations. Students sketch an object and describe its properties, research matter, explain an opinion, read about combustion, respond to video questions and create questions of their own.
Six editable Word files supply station cards, a group passport, teacher instructions, the reading, video questions and a quiz. Answers accompany the reading, video questions and quiz. Print and arrange the materials and provide device access before the rotation.

Questions teachers ask about this resource
Do all stations introduce a new task?
No. Two stations are catch-up stops where groups finish earlier passport work. The other stations use a mix of observation, research, reading, video, and questions.
