Complete these cards and then use them to build a periodic table over and over. Show how the table was meant to be laid out without the constraints posters which truncate them. Kids can add color coding as well as small symbols to show things like radioactivity and whether or not the element is a metal. #EngagingScienceLabs, #periodictable, #middleschoolscience, #chemistry Physical Science Activities, Chemistry Activities, Chemistry Worksheets, Chemistry Classroom, Science Teaching Resources, Teaching Chemistry, Chemistry Lessons, Science Topics, Science Lessons

As teachers we often start with math when studying density, but this can be confusing for kids. Here we start with various items and investigate their density compared to that of water. Focused on middle school science, these activities are good for many levels. #density, #scienceexperiment Science Labs, Activities For Kids, Density Lab, Density Experiment, Teaching Middle School Science, Middle School Science Experiments

I really like using something tactile to teach about hard-to-grasp content like atoms, elements, and electron arrangement. This interactive worksheet is great for teaching middle school science, intro chemistry and atoms #EngagingScienceLabs, #periodictab Teaching Time, Steam Activities, School Worksheets, Printable Worksheets

I used this collection of hands-on activities to teach science in my middle school classroom. I love when kids do real science using experiments to stimulate their curiosity, plus it gives us something to talk about in our discussions.

I love teaching science using experiments and activities. These static electricity activities are geared for middle school but could work for other grades as well. I teach 7th and 8th grade but I think 6th would benefit also. While this is focusing on static forces, it would be a good extension activity if studying atoms and subatomic particles such as electrons and protons. More than a worksheet, this manipulative really helps kids visualize the charges behind static forces.

Dissections might not be your favorite activity, but they sure are memorable. This guide has full color photos to help make the process as painless as possible! I used this in my middle school science classroom. Nothing substitutes for hands-on. There are two activities including using a model--you can use that as a prep or substitute for the real thing.

How can you show what happens to air when the pressure changes? Using a couple of pumps and some marshmallows. These pumps are sold for wine and soda and are easy for kids to use. Focused on middle school science, these activities are good for many levels and require minimal equipment. Studying air pressure is a good precursor to studying buoyancy and density #airpressure, #scienceexperiment Middle School Activities, Homeschool Study, Body Systems
