⭐ Teacher's Guide to Effective Science Centers
- I'm sharing my best tips for setting up and maintaining your science centers. You can have the most wonderful centers but if your systems are not set up in a way that they get used routinely, they won't get used very often.
- Here's an overview of what we'll talk about:
- Prep work
- Setting up your space
- Training students
- Organization
- Being Intentional
Tools to Keep You & Students Organized

⭐ Lab Supply Labels:
- Fully editable labels for all of your science lab supplies. You'll never have to dig around in an unorganized supply closet again. Whew!
⭐ Supply Donation Letter:
- You need tons of materials that often aren't provided by the campus (foil, craft sticks, different sized balls). Use this editable letter to ask for donations from parents.
⭐ Science Notebook Covers & Dividers:
- Set students up for success with topic dividers. They will be able to find information quickly. Includes dividers with and without TEKS.
