Science Topics – Middle School
Have you ever looked through your pacing guide and the middle school science topics that you need to teach and just said, I have no clue what to do with this?
Maybe, you have been doing the same activity for years and want to try something new. I have several posts that have written that gives ideas on activities to try for different topics. These posts go into different ways on how to teach science to middle school students.
What sciences are taught in middle school? There are Physical Science topics, Life Science topics, and Earth Science topics.
This will be a GROWING list as more posts are created, so go ahead and bookmark or pin this post now so you can go back to refer to it! You won’t have to search all over the internet for ideas because they are all in one place. Your students are just going to love you!
Be sure to join my email list using the link below to get weekly updates! Which middle school science topics will you teach?
Go ahead, bring the WOW Factor to your science classroom!

Be sure to check back frequently, as there are ideas added almost weekly. In these posts, I share WONDER strategies to help your students become excited and internally motivated to learn. I also share interactive lessons that use the 7 steps to help students retain information. Using these lessons, students are less likely to be overwhelm, and will more likely ace their test! Last, but not least, in these posts, I share WIDEN activities so that students can expand their knowledge and explore the content beyond what state standards require.
I hope these greatly impact your middle school science curriculum!
It’s always so much fun to try something new in the classroom. It’s fun for both you and your students! Engage them in science using the WOW factor and see the positive results flow in!
