Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs) Mini Labs for Middle School

By Danielle Mortimore

These mini-labs are great to introducing students to NGSS and SEPs! Perfect for that first or second week of school!

This assignment is a great intro and refresher into middle school science. It includes a wide range of activities that everyone will enjoy. Perfect for introducing students to NGSS based science.

Includes:

  • Instructions and tips for each activity
  • 8 interactive, engaging activities that require no student devices
  • Link to student worksheet

I used it for grades 6-8. It was perfect for our 6th graders because some of them had never had a designated science course before. It was perfect for our 8th graders, because it really made them think what science really is all about. Each SEP takes about 20-30 minutes! It encourage students to work together and is great for setting those group work expectations early in the year.

Activity summaries:

  1. Group/class discussions on what science actually is
  2. A simple experiment students can do with very little set up
  3. Developing your own model
  4. Creating a CER using a funny commercial
  5. Graphing data that the students collected
  6. Solving riddles using math
  7. Engaging in an argument where there may or may not be a correct stance
  8. Nice chill activity at the end to show what the students learned
