Emergency Physical Science Sub Plans: 5 Engaging Readings and Worksheets

$20.21 SAVE 30% on this bundle of READY-TO-GO and NO PREP physical science sub plans contains 5 resources that are perfect for days when you cannot leave a more specific plan. Each includes an informative and ENGAGING article with a corresponding worksheet that asks text-dependent questions.

Includes both print and digital Google Slides options to assign!

Included Articles (All include a student worksheet):

✅ Top 10 Ways We Use Waves in Everyday Life (MS-PS4-1)

✅ Top 10 Synthetic Materials of the Future (MS-PS1-3)

✅ Top 10 Real-World Uses of Magnets (MS-PS2-3)

✅ Top 10 Weirdest Ways Life Would Be Different Without Gravity (MS-PS2-4)

✅ Top 10 Chemical Reactions in Everyday Life (MS-PS1-2)

These resources are PERFECT AS SUB PLANS because:

• The physical science topics and “top 10” format are engaging for kids and relate to the real world.
• NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE is required – all the information kids need is included in the text.
• Clear answer keys are included, making it easy for a sub to review.
• Each article supports literacy, reading comprehension, and vocabulary acquisition.
• All included lessons are linked to NGSS science standards.
• No copies are needed! Digital Google Slides versions are provided for all lessons.
• Using the paper version? Spend less time at the copier! Each article is separate from the student worksheets, so you only need to make one class set of the readings. They can be reused class-class.

Teacher Notes:

• These physical science sub plans are not editable.
• All answer keys are included.
• A link to each Google Slide version is included with each downloadable PDF.
• We also offer sub plan sets for life science, Earth science, and astronomy!
• You can also shop our TPT store!

Related Standards:

• NGSS MS-PS1-2: Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after interaction to determine if a chemical reaction occurred.
• NGSS MS-PS1-3: Gather and make sense of information to describe that synthetic materials come from natural resources and impact society.
• NGSS MS-PS2-3: Ask questions about data to determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces.
• NGSS MS-PS2-4: Construct and present arguments using evidence to support the claim that gravitational interactions depend on the masses of interacting objects.
• NGSS MS-PS2-5: Conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact.
• NGSS MS-PS4-1: Use mathematical representations to describe a simple model for waves that includes how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave.
• NGSS MS-PS4-2: Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.
