Matter and Energy Vocabulary Slides focuses on 75+ science terms, with slides in 2 different formats. Spanish terms on each slide support English-language learners and dual language classrooms.
Fully aligned to Texas standards (TEKS) for middle school, this resource was created to support Texas teachers as you implement the new science TEKS in the 2024-2025 school year. While created with Texas classroom teachers in mind, it is an excellent addition to any middle grades matter and energy unit.
