Last Week of School Science Activities

Wondering how to make the last days of school memorable?

Check out my Mystery Science Labs II - an intriguing set of mini-labs centered around Florida 4th Grade benchmarks needed for the 5th Grade Science FCAT. Mystery Science Labs III is a mini set of labs for a shorter class period. The original set of Mystery Science Labs contains 11 mini exploration stations to help students explore the world around them and apply their powers of observation.

Or maybe you want to jump into the world of owl pellets! This product is not meant to be a comprehensive unit designed to get your class ready for a test. This is a fun project for the end of the school year – after testing is over, but before you’re allowed to start showing movies and having all day recess.

Then again, you might be trying to collect make up work from a couple of students and need to keep the rest of the class busy while doing so. Try letting the rest of the class create their own investigation using magnets from your physical science kit and using the free template below.
