These fun fall homeschool learning resources for middle school make for a fun free fall unit. Too, you’ll love my free fall season Fall Unit 1 {Pumpkins, Leaves, Corn, & More} unit study. Also, look at my page homeschool middle school for more fun tips.

Today I will be sharing fall homeschool learning resources for middle school students. 

And of course, I have some fun fall activities for their younger siblings too.

Adding to my growing list each year of things that I love, and free is one of them, I have listed some resources that keep learning fun for our middle school students.

In my experience, middle school kids have a great sense of humor and still want to do out of the box activities when the temperatures fall and the leaves stir.

For us the fall season is not only about studying some things that bring the scent of fall to our day, it is about adding an out of the box twist to our subjects too. 

Last fall season, I shared a few of my resources for embracing the cooler weather.

So be sure you grab the Artist in Fall with pocket memorization cards. 

Just cut, fold in half, store in the pocket for memorization of autumn landscapes.  Autumn-Art.pdf

vivaldi

Too, I have rounded up some really useful and free teacher resource kits for learning about Vivaldi and The Four Seasons (Grade 4 – 8) and Let’s Go Mozart (Grade 4-8). 

Look what else is free on the page –  Complete Composers’ Life and Times: Guide to Beethoven, Guide to Gershwin, Guide to Handel, Guide to Haydn, Guide to Ravel, Guide to Stravinsky and Guide to Tchaikovsky.

Free Fall Lesson Plans

I love  free and especially when the guides are packed full of tidbits and great ideas.

Timeline composers

Each guide is color and has great background information on each composer and has a nifty helpful timeline like the one above I snipped from the guide.

Be sure you check out the whole page. Focus on all of the music and composers or just on the ones that bring in the crisp fall season.

Next, the subject about pollution and acid rain can be a controversial subject, but certainly one that middle school students can appreciate. 

Whatever the culprit is of the death of the trees, it can be a good time to introduce the devastating effects of acid rain to the trees.

Here is another great free resource for teaching our middle school kids about acid rain along with tons of hands-on experiments like learning about how to measure ph and soil buffering. 

Acid Rain A Teacher's Guide for Grades 6 - 8

A lot of the activities can be done easily at home because they use supplies most of us have around the house or have added to our science list as our kids have grown older.

Here is the guide: Learning About Acid Rain Teachers Guide. Grades 6–8, and here is the description of it from the site. “This guide is designed to help students better understand the science, cause and effect, and regulatory and citizen action that are part of understanding and addressing acid rain.”

This next resource, Project Wild, is about bringing the classroom outdoors and fall is the perfect time to do that.

Free Fall Unit

Check out the free educators guide Project WILD K-12, which has free printables like learning about tracks.

Have to love free prepared curriculum.

This next site is The Journey of Wayne Drop to the Everglades (Elementary/Middle School Level).

From the site: “Find lesson plans and resources for teachers at all levels to help you teach about the Science Behind the Restoration” including information on the endangered Florida panther, Florida black bear, white-tailed deer and Wild Turkey”.

It is a study about the everglades and the endangered animals like the panther, black bear and wild turkey. 

In addition to the prepared lessons, there are fun printables and great background information on the Florida everglades.

Florida Habitat Mobile

Check out the free printables for the younger kids and the mobile idea when you are over there. 

This is a fun way to to include the younger kids too in your study. (Note: I’m still working on finding the broken link to this mobile. it’s just too cute.)

And yes, middle school kids love crafts too. 

Don’t give up crafts for them because you think they don’t have time for them now as you are trying to get them to write those longer composition papers. 

A little bit of fall in their day will push them a bit to do some of the other everyday things they have to learn.

Crafts for Middle School Kids

Check out this easy, yummy baked apple.  Mix, measure and eat.  

Then look at this cool create a cameo portrait lamp shade.

{Pic. Attribution}

Teach about secondary colors doing monochromatic painting for the budding painter in them and then your middle school kids can get their geek on by assembling an ethernet cable. 

How cool is that?  I know I joke about it a lot, but I have a slight geeky side and this is a way cool project for adding a twist to the day.

Then here are a few of my other printables for some easy fun writing. 

Look at my unit Apple Lapbook and Apple Unit Study.

 And then because there are TONS of resources for the younger kids, but not an apple lapbook for the middle school kids, I created one last year for them.
