New Product: Science News Articles!


Great template for students to search for current events and practice analyzing and summarizing the news article!

I have used this with my students to have them practice looking at reliable sources to find current events. They look for news articles that are science based and then write a short summary about it. I have provided several different sources that students can use! Students can then practice reading about current events, informative and nonfiction texts that they will then pull information from to analyze and summarize.

I started this assignment the very first week of school and had the students turn in 1 news article every week. We were able to discuss how information is constantly changing and how you need to look at the evidence when forming your own opinions on certain subjects. You can easily adjust it to make it as easy or difficult as the student needs. For example, when I taught 7th grade students, they had to find articles that had a minimum of 3 paragraphs.

Root Words!

When I was in high school, I took a class to become a Certified Nursing Assistant.  I had to take a medical terminology course as well as learn many different words and abbreviations in my main class.  Ever since then, I have always been fascinated with learning about the meanings of different root words.  I really think that it is important to know as many as possible because then you can understand a general meaning of different words that you may not have encountered in the past based on their breakdown of roots.

As I teach new vocabulary words to my students in science, I try to go over the different root words so that they can understand a deeper meaning instead of just regurgitating a textbook definition back to me.



Three years ago, I worked in a very small school (there were only ~35 kids K-12!!).  Throughout the day, my largest class size was 6 and my smallest was 2.  I had about 15 students overall.  I had decided that I would make a book for them that incorporated many of the things that we learned and several that we did not cover, but that they could use as a reference.  One of the key portions of the book was a section on root words.

I have worked hard to make a list of over 400 root words, their meanings, examples, and sentences.   It is over 30 pages of information!  I have posted it on Teachers Pay Teachers and I hope that other people can find it useful.  It is really geared toward science, so I think that it would be helpful in any science classroom, as a student in high school or even college, or just any individual that would like to increase their vocabulary.

So, please go take a look and let me know what you think!  It is titled Comprehensive Root Word List!

Bill Nye the Science Guy




I am a huge Bill Nye fan!  I enjoyed watching the videos when I was younger and I have always enjoyed showing them to my current students.  The videos are short enough that they can be used quickly during any class to help reinforce or to introduce a new concept.

I have all 100 episodes of the Bill Nye the Science Guy series as well as the episodes of Eyes of Nye.

I already create and use handouts with my own students and thought that it would be nice to share those with others.  I intend to create handouts that any teacher can use to accompany the videos.  I am going to start small by including a worksheet, answer key, and an activity for each video.  I then plan on creating a more comprehensive set for each video that can correlate to the Next Generation Science Standards.

I will be using the Teachers Pay Teachers to upload my materials.  Please take a moment to visit my store Every Little Piece to see the different products that I have listed!  I have already created and uploaded my first set of handouts that is for the episode Flight.
