I made these cheat sheets for my 7s to help them with our Meiosis and DNA unit. These are two of the most complex topics we cover in Life Science and it helps them synthesize all of the information into one page.
Download these free PDFs below:
DNA Cheat Sheet - 2017 - Google Docs - this covers the fundamentals of DNA at a 7th grade level

Meiosis Summary Cheat Sheet - 2017 - this covers the basics of Meiosis along with a comparison to Mitosis at each stage for a 7th grade level

Materials:

I use this activity as a guided review of reading metric measurements in cm and mm. Each student receives one metric measurement, you can laminate and hand out individual task cards to students, or simply print and cut apart so that students can write on each card as well.

As the measurement is projected on the board, the student with that task card will come up to the board and draw a line on the ruler for to represent that measurement, and add the value. Each student will mark the measurement on their own handout as well. Advance to the next slide, and a new student will add their value to the ruler. Continue until all students have added their values to the ruler,

I started using Post-it Notes on construction paper for my seating charts and it makes changing seats and groupings really easy. What do you use?
