8th Grade General Science Activities
Compounds and Mixtures "Mini" Labs - Set of 2
By Brittany Henderson
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.
Distance learning or need a digital copy to assign?
- No problem! This activity now includes a Google Slides option! Ready to go, no prep needed from you!

Forms of Energy Adapted Notes and Review
By Sign with me TOD
In this product, different forms of energy are reviewed. Students will learn that energy exists in other forms, what energy is, how you can't always see energy, stored energy vs. energy in motion and examples for students to make connections with each, kinetic energy, examples of kinetic energy for students to make connections with it in real life, students will locate and circle the different kinds of kinetic energy, potential and kinetic energy and how it can go back and forth (picture explanations are also included to provide a visual), different forms of energy - electrical, light, sound, thermal, chemical, and mechanical energy are reviewed - their meanings and examples of each along with pictures so students can make connections with what they are learning in their personal life, what matter is and how it is in chemical energy, and energy transformation picture examples are provided. Students will then be required to write down the different types of energy that change to other kinds of energy when they are provided with picture examples. Students will also be required to draw picture and write down the forms of energy that were used to show energy transformation. At the end of the product, students can complete the review that includes short answer and multiple choice questions.
Throughout the product, students will answer short answer comprehension questions to ensure comprehension after reviewing each page of notes.

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