Description
Bring seasonal engagement into your science classroom with this Thanksgiving Science One-Pager Project! This activity helps students build science understanding, creativity, and content literacy while exploring real-world Thanksgiving-themed science topics. Perfect for grades 6–8, this resource works beautifully for projects, sub plans, enrichment, or pre-break lessons.
⭐ What Students Will Do
Students choose one Thanksgiving-themed science question and create a visually engaging one-pager that demonstrates their understanding. Each topic encourages research, critical thinking, vocabulary integration, and illustration.
Topics include:
✔ Heat transfer in cooking a turkey
✔ Chemical changes in Thanksgiving foods
✔ Agricultural science (pumpkins, corn, cranberries)
✔ Wild turkey adaptations
✔ Cranberry chemistry and the famous “bounce test”
✔ Ecosystems and food chains connected to the Thanksgiving meal
When students are finished with their one pagers, have them do a gallery walk to view other students work. When my students finish one pagers, I put all of their finished projects on a Prezi and have them do a virtual gallery walk. The students love it!
