- Meet the teacher template
I love to introduce myself to my students and also their parents using this editable template. It is important to start the year off with a positive first impression while also outlining expectations for the year. This also ensures your first encounter with parents is a positive one that you have orchestrated. Just this simple page either sent or emailed home is a great way to engage with parents and present what you want them to know about you.
- Lesson Introduction Slides
Lesson Introduction Slides is a great way to build routine in your classroom and ensure important information is communicated to students. Using an attractive template like these will bring an extra element of design to your classroom that students will notice.Â
Helping your students have a sense of ownership over the lab is important. Not only will it help them feel safe, but it also helps with them keeping the room tidy and cleaning up after experiments.
This ‘All about me in Science’ bunting is a great way to get to know your students, decorate your classroom, and help students feel that they belong there.Â

Ah those pesky variables! Why is it so hard to get these to stick in students’ heads?!
I’ve found having a visual aid to refer to regularly in class to be invaluable. These Science Variables Posters are perfect for adding to your classroom while also adding to your lab decor! I like to print them in A3 size. FR

- Science experimental report templates
Planning science experiments and having students write experimental reports can be a painstakingly slow process. Help scaffold this for students with these scientific report templates.Â
- Note-taking template for students
I love using note-taking templates like these for when I’m doing a mini-lecture, watching a video, or doing information station activities. There are multiple templates included so students can choose one that makes sense to them and how their brain works!Â
- Lesson finishers
Got 5 minutes at the end of the lesson and don’t know what to do?
These lesson finishers are excellent! Either have the whole class do them or just early finishers. There are plenty to choose from so you are never left short-handed.Â
