Evidence of Chemical Changes - Student Choice Projects, New TEKS 6.6E

Empower your middle school students to take ownership of their learning with these student-led choice projects on evidence of chemical changes, aligned with 2021 TEKS standard 6.6E.
This engaging, flexible resource allows students to choose a project format that fits their preferred learning and output style, giving them the freedom to show understanding in creative and personalized ways.

The project choice board includes six ready-to-use options plus a “design your own” project, encouraging curiosity and critical thinking.
An editable grading rubric makes evaluation simple for teachers, peers, or student self-assessment, focusing on vocabulary, content accuracy, clarity, and presentation.

Flexible, Creative, and Student-Centered

These Student Choice Projects are designed for maximum flexibility and differentiation.
Teachers can easily customize the rubric to fit grading preferences, while students select from multimodal project options—written, visual, digital, or hands-on—to demonstrate mastery of how chemical changes are identified through evidence such as gas production, temperature change, color change, or the formation of a precipitate.

This approach promotes student independence, critical thinking, and creativity, ensuring that every learner has an opportunity to succeed.
