This opinion writing worksheet contains 4 writing prompt questions for which students will restate the prompt and include 3 big ideas creating an introduction paragraph. 

In this self-guided activity, students will gain an understanding of how to interpret basic to advanced weather station models.

 In this assignment, students will access a database with documented tornadoes since 1950. Students will use a Google spreadsheet as a class to gather data from the website. Data they will look into for each year are: Total tornadoes, Longest path, widest path, total F4s, total F4 fatalities, total F5s, total F5 fatalities, the month with the most tornadoes, and deadliest tornado sizes. When all data is collected there is a totals tab that contains three graphs that students can analyze. Students will also investigate and view states that have the most tornado events.

This is a scientific method lab sheet geared to merge a science experiment with grammar by using complete sentences.

Two volcano vocabulary activity worksheets. The first one is a 20-word search. The word search contains images of a shield, cinder, and composite volcano. There are some fun volcano puns that encourage reading and are fun to share. The second worksheet is a crossword puzzle containing a word bank with more words than students need.

This web tool can allow teachers to build images that represent fractions of circles/pies or polygons.  It is simple to use.  Just say how many equal parts you want to be represented and then how many parts to shade.  You can also determine the line width, shade color, and rotate the shape.  Once finished take a screen show of the picture or right-click and save the image.

Show students how to use protractors and rulers in this interactive website.  Teachers can also easily show polygons and quadrilaterals.  Shape color size, and angle are easily changed from one shape to another.  You can use this shapes website to show interior and exterior angles.  Arcs can also be manipulated.
