Force and Motion FREEBIE Game

Have you been doing any spring cleaning?

I certainly have - but not in my house.  I've been doing some MAJOR spring cleaning of some of my resources on TpT.  If you've been over to my store lately, you may notice things looks a little different.  And in the process, a lot of my older, shall I say "well loved" resources got a little face-lift.

I recently redid my Force and Motion unit.  My unit includes a review game and I thought I'd share it all with you.  (Teacher Appreciation Week may be over, but I'm still passin' out the love!)

Click below to download it.  I'll also be adding it to my science game archives for quick, anytime access.

And - if you're in search on a complete unit on Force and Motion (& Simple Machines), then I've got you covered.  Introducing the new and improved unit:

Enjoy!

FREEBIE Updated Science Game - Grab Yours Now :)

Tell me if this sounds like you.

The weather starts to get warmer (or you have those random warmer days toward the end of the winter - like we're having today in Western NY) and you get the urge to de-clutter, clean, and get organized.

I certainly am feeling that way and I'm working on cleaning up some of my old products.  I tend to do this once a year.  I sweep out the looks of some older products and give them a bit of a spring make-over.

I just finished redoing one of my bigger units, actually my #1 seller for a couple years now- My Sun, Earth, and Moon unit.

There's a simple sorting game that I include in the unit (which has been listed in my science game archives all along).  It helps students to identify the difference between rotation and revolution, which can be a tricky concept.

I offerthis game as a freebie as a sample from the whole unit.  Here's a peek at the new look:

 Sorting mat:

There are several cards with different statements.  Students read each statement and decide if it is referring to the rotation of the earth or the revolution of the earth around the sun.  Students place the card on the correct sorting mat.

A recording sheet is provided for easy-peasy assessment!

You'll also find an answer key for students to check their answers.

If you've already downloaded this game, or if you're just seeing this for the first time and want at it, get the latest version here:

Oh - and as a side note - I'll been announcing some BIG news in the CGN newsletter that goes out TOMORROW - so if you aren't already a subscriber you miiiiight want to consider it now! :) You can do so here.  

Bye for now :)

Summertime, Game Time {Week 5}

What a busy week!  Is it really Friday already?  I've been so consumed with my civil war unit (which is coming along nicely) that I have barely looked up from my computer to check the day of the week :)  It's a good thing I did, however, or I would have missed this week's surprise freebie game!  (Phew, that was close! hehe)

Here she is.  And guys.  It's a good one.  Perfect for the beginning of the school year.  So go ahead, skip on over to my TpT store and grab your surprise!

 

And, here's a little extra love, exclusively for my readers!  It goes along with the game provided at TpT,

Hope your weekend rocks!

Plant Game {Freebie!!!}

Hi guys!

It's ridiculously cold today!  Although we didn't get the snow that some folks in the northeast got, we definitely got the cold!  Luckily the bright sun is a reminder that spring will come :)

Thinking of spring makes me think of fresh flowers.  Last summer we put in a new flower bed and I can't wait to put more flowers in this year.  I know - with a fresh coat of snow on the ground, I might be getting a little ahead of myself. :)

I know I'm not the only one thinking plants and flowers - based on my recent sales on TpT - I've noticed that I've been selling a lot of my Plant Unit, which means many of your are teaching plants in science.

I wanted to draw your attention to a free game available under my "Science Game" tab.

It's a fun review game where students revisit some important concepts about plants.  Each time they get a question right, they add a stage to their plant life cycle wheel.  The first student to complete their plant life cycle wins the game.

Here are some sample questions:

The download includes a full set of student directions and an answer key.  It is also available in black and white.  Find it here.

Not teaching plants now?  No worries - the game will always be available in my Science Games tab.

If you'd like to check out the whole plant unit, click the picture below.  Let me know if you give the game a try!

Have a great Thursday!
