Directions for Using Science Coloring Activities by Kelly Terry Thanks for buying this product! You can simply print out the coloring page (and the accompanying crossword if you’d like), copy, and go! If you want your students to produce high quality colored sheets (as opposed to coloring for fun and learning…both options are good, in my opinion!), please consider the “High Quality Coloring” materials enclosed in a separate folder here. There is a short presentation to share with the students if you’d like, and there is a grading rubric that students can use to self-assess or to grade their classmates. Using these materials has helped my students to take educational coloring a little more seriously (and sometimes, as their teacher, that is what I want!) Feedback? Questions? Comments? Requests? Please contact me at kellytinpg@gmail.com. Enjoy!
