7th Grade General Science Resources

This engaging resource contains five informational reading passages about animals affected by climate change. There is an engaging graphic organizer for students to fill out as they read. There is also a standards and suggestions sheet and a graph showing increasing global temperatures.

The passages were written with middle-schoolers in mind, but the information is very interesting and complex and would be useful for other grades as well.

Animals included:

polar bears

sea turtles

Monarch butterflies

cheetahs

salmon

☀️What others are saying about our top-selling reading passages:

**"**Great way for the kids to independently read and analyze what they learned through the use of the graphic organizer. They individually picked which plant they wanted to read about and then they shared with each other. It was a high-interest activity."

"Great resource! I love setting up the cards in different centers and getting my students moving around the classroom as they read about each one."

2 "mini" labs that will help students observe and make connections to compounds and mixtures. The first introduces students to the concept of mixtures. The second shows the concept that not all liquids act alike so conclusions can be drawn about how materials interact when put together.

These short activities reinforce or introduce concepts to students. I call these activities “mini labs” because they are simple activities that do not take the whole class period. They are also activities that are safe for use in the classroom and do not have to be done in a lab or with any specialty equipment or materials. I often use these demonstrations to lead into new content, that way as we cover material I can refer back to the things that my students have experienced first hand.

Your grade 4-8 students will beg to play this human body systems review game, and you'll love that while they're having fun, they're also showing what they know about the human body systems! THE perfect activity for review, centers, end-of-the-year games, and sub plans, this science KABOOM! game engages students with human body systems content in a fun and meaningful way!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Save money with the Human Body Systems BUNDLE! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Human Body Systems BUNDLE Includes This Resource Plus:

• Human Body Systems Webquest Digital Project-Based Learning Activity
• Human Body Systems Unit (Google Slides with Notes)

To Prepare the Game: Select one of the four available card formats (i.e., not scaffolded, lightly scaffolded, moderately scaffolded, or heavily scaffolded) and cut out the cards along the dotted line. Shuffle the cards very well and place them in a cup or paper bag. (Note: When playing the game as a class, use only one card format at a time.)

To Play the Game:

1. Students stand in a circle.
2. With eyes closed, the first student takes a card from the cup or bag. The student reads the card aloud and gives the name of the planet being described on the card.
3. Use the Answer Key to check the student’s answer. The letter(s) in the bottom left side of the question card should match the letter in the bottom left side of the Answer Key card.
4. If the student identifies the planet correctly, he/she keeps the card.
5. If the student does not identify the planet correctly, he/she puts the card back in the cup or bag.
6. If the student takes a KABOOM! card from the cup or bag, he/she puts back ALL the cards he/she has collected to that point.
7. Play continues around the circle until the teacher calls “Time!” because otherwise, the game never ends.
8. The player with the most cards when the teacher calls “Time!” wins.

The card formats below are included in this resource to provide as much differentiation as your students need. Each card set includes 8-16 question cards for each human body system (84 cards total per scaffold level) and 80 KABOOM! cards.

• Card Set #1: Not Scaffolded (cards include only a question about the human body system)
• Card Set #2: Lightly Scaffolded (cards include spaces that correspond to the number of letters in the question's answer)
• Card Set #3: Moderately Scaffolded (cards include a picture of the question's answer)
• Card Set #4: Heavily Scaffolded (cards include the question's answer, but the letters in the question are scrambled)
• Answer Key: All cards include a letter (or letters) corresponding to the answers in the Answer Key, making it easy to check students' answers for accuracy.

The following human body systems are included in this KABOOM! game**: nervous system, circulatory system, digestive system, respiratory system, excretory system, skeletal system,** and muscular system.

Introduce your students to the thrilling no prep Soils, Rocks and Landforms Scavenger Hunt! This engaging and interactive activity puts students in the shoes of a geologist mining in a city in Arkansas that is rumored to be full of rare gems that would make the finder rich!

Each student, or group of students, will receive 10 reading task cards related to soil, weathering (chemical and physical), erosion, deposition, fossils, types of landforms and how they are created. The task is not only to read the cards but to solve 10 questions—the catch is that the answer to each question is found on a different card, encouraging students to read all the information thoroughly.

How It Works:

• Students will need to determine the code word for each card by answering the fill-in-the-blank questions.
• Once all the code words have been found, students must unscramble the letters from each code word to discover the final mystery word.
• In addition, they will collect clues to uncover a 4-digit code, which will help them successfully complete their journey.

Failing to unscramble the mystery word or crack the 4-digit code will result in the having failed to find any precious gems. However, completing the mission means students will become a legendary gem hunter and have mined enough gems to become rich!

What Makes This Activity Perfect for Your Classroom:

• Engaging and Educational: Your students will be excited to play the role of a geologist solving the clues to find the hidden gems within the dig site.
• Critical Thinking Skills: By having to cross-reference information from multiple task cards, students practice comprehension, critical thinking, and attention to detail.
• No-Prep Needed: Simply print the task cards and hand them out to your students! It’s ready to go with minimal prep.
• Flexible Usage: This scavenger hunt can be used independently, as a group activity, or even as a fast-finisher task. It works perfectly as a history lesson, or as a fun, educational activity!

Ideal for Different Learning Styles

Whether done individually or in groups, this scavenger hunt provides the perfect opportunity for students to collaborate and share ideas as they solve the puzzles. If students are working independently, it gives them a chance to practice self-paced learning while still engaging with the science background on soils, rocks and landforms.

Perfect for History Lessons or Fun Themed Activities This activity fits seamlessly into your classroom’s history curriculum. It’s a perfect way to introduce and reinforce learning about soil, weathering (chemical and physical), erosion, deposition, fossils, types of landforms and how they are created.

This Soils, Rocks and Landforms Scavenger Hunt is not only a fun, no-prep classroom activity, but it also ensures that students gain a deeper understanding of science while developing important reading and comprehension skills. Bring the excitement of the search for the rare gems into your classroom with this adventure-packed scavenger hunt.
