INCLUDED IN YOUR PURCHASE
MONDAY: SCIENCE TERM OF THE WEEK
Start your week off by familiarizing your students with common science terms in a fun and engaging way. The Powerpoint presentation teaches students common science terms from different disciplines with an easy-to-understand definition as well as related short video clips! After they learn the term, have students record the meaning of the term (in their own words) using the science term of the week booklet (editable) or on the student response sheet, then put up the ready-to-print classroom poster on your "Science Term Of The Week" board!
This is an excellent way to introduce and familiarize students to terms that they may see during the course of their middle and high school science years in a fun and engaging way without being too intimidating.

WEDNESDAY: SCIENCE VIDEO JOURNALS
Get your students' attention on Wednesdays with these engaging science video writing prompts! The slides include links to short (all less than 6 minutes) high-interest video clips that relate to a variety of science disciplines like physics, biology, chemistry, environmental science, paleontology, zoology, engineering, geology, ecology, computer science, psychology, astronomy, & more!
Students respond to a short writing prompt related to the video that allows them to summarize information, make personal connections, make links to popular topics, make predictions, and much more! YouTube is required for the video clips in this presentation.
There are many benefits to using this resource. Video journals will not only immediately engage your students, but they are also an excellent way to bring more personal writing into the science classroom while also covering content-related material. Also, the videos allow students to have a broader understanding of science disciplines and topics and understand how they relate to their lives and the world around them
Video journal response cards are also included.

THURSDAY: SCIENTIST QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Inspire your students with these 40 quotes from some of the most important and influential scientists in history. Each slide includes a quote, a picture of the scientist, a brief explanation of who they are/what they are known for, and the prompting questions. The prompting questions that allow students to respond to the meaning of the quote, consider how it relates to their world, and if it still holds significance today.
Also included are 40 ready-to-print posters to set up a "Science Quote Of The Week" that you can swap out weekly to last you the whole year! (poster for weekly display included)
Worried about the cost of color printing? No problem! I have included a black and white version of each and every poster for easy and cost-effective printing.
