I created this periodic table poster several years ago. I used it both when I taught physical science and chemistry. Here’s what it looked like in my classroom: You might also be interested in my How to Read the Periodic Table foldable I created for my students’ interactive notebooks. Free Download of How to Read …
Science Posters
I created this roman numerals poster a few years ago when I was teaching physical science. I shared the files for this poster, but it never got a blog post of its own. I found out when we were naming ionic compounds with transition metals that my students had trouble writing the roman numerals for …
At the beginning of my career, I ran across a set of free scientific method posters from Scholastic. I remember thinking to myself, “These are so cute. I almost wish I was a science teacher!” Fast forward a few years. I’m now teaching chemistry after teaching physical science last year. This means I can finally …
Another day. Another poster. Today I’m sharing some SI Units Posters. I guess that must mean it’s back to school time. I’m teaching chemistry for the first time this year, so I decided I need to up the number of science-y posters on my walls. Last year, I found out I was teaching physical science …
One of the reasons I adore my physical science class is that they love the posters I have hanging up in my classroom. Decorating my classroom makes my heart happy, and the fact that I have students who take the time to show appreciation for my hard work just makes my heart even happier. A …
Today, I want to share a poster I recently made for my physical science class. We’ve been writing chemical reactions, and my students need a bit of a reminder about which elements exist diatomically. When I took chemistry in high school, my teacher taught us the BrINClHOF mnemonic device. I guess it’s catchy because it’s …
I gave my students a chart for prefixes for naming covalent compounds in their notebook, but I decided that we’re going to be using these prefixes enough that it warrants a poster for quick reference. Here’s what I came up with for my prefixes poster. I designed this poster to print on 11 x 17 …
After making significant figure posters for my classroom, my mind started wandering to other topics that could also become posters. Last week, we discussed the difference between accuracy and precision. We took notes and classified targets according to their accuracy and precision. I decided to take the target idea and make it into a set …
Today I’m sharing some significant figures posters I created. Since I’m teaching physical science this year for the first time, I’m having to review a lot of stuff I haven’t thought about since I was in high school. One of those things is significant figures. As I’ve been reviewing the rules in preparation to teach …
Today I want to share a Always Show All of Your Thinking poster I created for my classroom. This poster was inspired by a tweet from Jessica Iva that suggested that we ask students to show their thinking stead of the traditional “show your work.” I’ve always begged and pleaded with my students to show …
