Something like this is great to incorporate into the journals. This activity is great for categorizing objects. You can have the student draw the T chart in their journal and provide them with a sheet of things to cut out and organize. Have them put the objects in the correct category and if they are correct, give them a glue stick to  paste everything in its place. 

Great for:
  • Forms of energy
  • Forces
  • Simple Machines
  • Weathering, Erosion, Deposition
  • Landforms
  • Food chain niches
  • Biomes
  • Adaptations
  • States of Matter
  • Physical properties
  • Mixtures and Solutions
  • Reflection vs Refraction
  • Inherited vs Learned behaviors


Below is a picture of how you can use both pages of a journal to include the T-chart with a Frayer Model Chart
