Science teachers need great bulletin board ideas too!

From the creator:

“Practice good habitats”, a play on words to fit a junior high science classroom.

I used construction paper letters, shredded paper for nest, purchased border, all on a fabric background.

How can you use this board with your students?

• Have students brainstorm a list of habitats.
• Then, the children each get a blank piece of paper to draw a bulletin board to represent one of the habitats.
• Finally, assign students a homework assignment to do a creative writing prompt where the setting is their habitat.

Materials Needed:

• Black fabric:  Use a simple black fabric as your background for your bulletin board.

• Red lettering:  The red letters really stand out against the black fabric background.

• Animal print border:  A fun and funky animal print ties in the habitat science theme.

• Craft feathers:  Having a 3-dimensional effect adds a fun flair to your finished project.

Steps to Set Up:

1. Begin by placing your fabric background on the entire board.
2. Next, add your animal print border around the edges.
3. Add your title to the center of the board:  “Practice Good Habitats.”
4. Use a paper shredder or cut up strips of newspaper and attach under the letters so it appears as a nest.
5. Finally, attach some feathers to the top of the nest as a final touch.

This simple bulletin board is a great play on words that still ties into the science curriculum and can be used by intermediate, junior high, or high school teachers.

How else could you use this bulletin board idea in your school?  Feel free to leave a comment below.
