April 11, 2017 By Valerie Mcclintick Leave a Comment

Smart Start Science is a new and engaging series of Low-Prep, Hands-On experiments, and activities designed for K-2 students. This specific pack, “Scientific Method Anchor Charts” includes six posters displaying the parts of the scientific method. Both color and black and white are provided.

Scientific Method Posters
-Ask a Question “What is something you want to know?”
-Research “Find information about your question.”
-Hypothesis “Take your best guess to answer the question.”
-Test your Hypothesis “Experiment with and test your hypothesis.
-Analyze Results “Organize your data to see what it means.”
-Report “Share your data with other scientists.”

Black and White versions are provided as well. These can be used as coloring pages, or printed onto colored paper for classroom displays. These would be fantastic when printed smaller to make flashcards to small booklets for children to take home.

Periodic Table Printables

June 13, 2015 By Valerie Mcclintick 1 Comment

If you’ve been following me on facebook you know I’ve been working on this project for past couple of weeks. It’s taken HOURS upon HOURS but I’m finally ready to share this printable with you!

I created this Periodic Table Chart because I wanted something colorful and EASY to read after printing. For some reason everything I printed out online either came out blurry or the letters were too small for my old eyes to read….even with glasses.

So this chart is print friendly and FREE for a limited time!

Periodic Table of the Elements Activity Pack

I was so inspired by how this turned out, I went ahead and created a handful of games and resources that could be used alongside this colorful chart.

Here’s a sneak peek inside:

I’ve included a handful of reproducible charts:

Full Color Periodic Table Chart (8.5 x 11)
B&W Periodic Table Chart (8.5 x 11)
A3 Size Color Periodic Table Chart (11 x 17)
A3 Size BW Periodic Table Chart (11 x 17)

There are a few worksheets and Fill in Charts:

Fill in the Blank Symbols Worksheet
Fill in the Name /Atomic Mass/Number Worksheet
Blank Periodic Table in Color
Blank Periodic Table in B&W
Symbol Stumper Worksheet

And of course I made a variety of Cards and Games:

Element Letter Tiles
Element Fact Cards
Element Boggle Gameboard
8 different Element Bingo Cards
8 Element Bingo Cards with Symbols Only

One of my most favorite parts of this activity pack are the Element Tiles……all 118 of them!

They are just under 1″ square and can coordinate with the Bingo and Boggle games shown above but they can also be used to encourage students to make words:

Or you could creatively cut them into cute bookmarks

Or children could use them to reassemble the periodic table, or…….play I have who has…..or……

The possibilities are really endless with these once you start thinking creatively!

You can purchase Periodic Table of the Elements Activity Pack in our eStore for only $5.

I’ve priced it this low because I too have a homeschool budget and I know how hard it can be to squeeze eveything into it :)

In fact, most of the items in our eStore are $5 and under for this reason!

If you use our chart in your homeschool or classroom please let us know below! We love to hear from our visitors and how our resources are being put to use.

Brain & Neuron Projects for Kids

In Brainiacs, Merrin and Pearl venture in to the nervous system when their favorite teacher, Ms. Anderson, spills hot tea on her leg. On the way to her brain to examine how she’ll react, Merrin and Pearl ride a nerve impulse, bounce among dendrites, explore the brain’s gray matter, and so much more. In the end, they not only learn how messages are communicated between the brain and the body, but they also get a firsthand lesson on the functions of the nervous system.
