I like the multiple learning experiences this resource offers. My fifth graders learned a lot with this resource, it gave them multiple opportunities to practice what they learned.
Library Vibes with a Splash of Science –
I've used this in 2 ways. One as a science scoot around the room to identify chemical and non-chemical reactions. I also left the page with all 16 as a sub activity. Students colored chemical reactions red and non-chemical reactions blue. Great resource!!!
