Middle School Science Sub Plans, Week Long Emergency Sub Plans, No Prep, 5 Days, 68 Pages

Out for a week? Your science classes are planned, Monday to Friday. These no prep science sub plans for 6th, 7th and 8th grade are a complete substitute binder: five emergency lesson plans on density, states of matter, food webs, forces and motion, and the water cycle, plus science review games, team activities, early finisher puzzles and answer keys for the substitute teacher. Print and go for a planned absence, long term sub plans, a sub tub, or substitute plans on a sick day: emergency science sub plans.

Perfect For

• A full week out: sick leave, a conference, jury duty, a family emergency
• A sub who does not know your subject or your class
• Your sub tub or emergency sub folder, ready before you need it
• Long term subs who need a first week that runs itself

How It Works

1. Print the binder and leave it on your desk. The week plan on page 4 is already filled in.
2. The sub runs the day’s set in every period, then uses the calm block, the team task and the game as the plan shows.
3. Every answer is in the key, so the sub needs no subject knowledge.
4. Prefer your own order? A blank weekly schedule is included.

What’s Inside: 68 Pages
