Teaching With Jurassic Jones

Constellation Research Project I love completing this project each year! Find this project on my TPT page. Here is some info, tips, and tricks for this project! Create a List of Constellations Depending on the age of your students, some constellations and their mythology may not be appropriate for students.

Hello! My name is Jessie Jones, a.k.a Jurassic Jones, and I am a sixth-grade science teacher in South Carolina. Science is my passion and I love sharing it with my students! I thrive on an engaging and loud classroom built on organized chaos. I believe that science should be organic, messy, and fun! Most days, you can find my class completing a lab, life-sized board game, escape room, or doodle notes. I eat, breathe, and live for MIDDLE SCHOOL!  I received my degree in Science Education from the University of Georgia with an emphasis in Earth Sciences- I'm a rock, space, and dinosaur nerd!  I'm so glad you're here and look forward to sharing my sometimes chaotic science class with you!  Email: thejurassicjones@gmail.com TPT:  https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Jurassic-Jones Instagram: @jurassic.jones
