If you teach in Utah you need Utah SEEd science resources by someone who understands Utah SEEd. The beginning of the school year is the perfect time to help students see that science is not simply a subject they study. Science is something they already do when they observe, wonder, ask questions, solve problems, and explore the world around them. This is why you want to be sure to have Utah SEEd Science Resources created by someone who understands Utah SEEd.
This free All About Me Science Poster gives Utah teachers an easy, no-prep way to build classroom community while introducing students to the mindset behind the Utah Science with Engineering Education (SEEd) Standards.
How Does This Activity Support a Utah SEEd Science Classroom?
The Utah SEEd Standards encourage students to actively participate in science and engineering practices. Scientists ask questions, communicate ideas, collaborate, create models, investigate, and use evidence.
This All About Me Science activity begins building that identity on the first day of class. Instead of asking students only about their favorite food or hobby, the prompts invite them to think about:
- A strength they already have as a scientist
- Their favorite science topic
- A science-related experience from the summer
- A science tool that represents their personality
- A way they could use science to improve the world
These prompts help students understand that curiosity, creativity, observation, and problem-solving are valuable scientific strengths.
What Is Included in the All About Me Science Poster?
The resource includes a one-page printable student activity and a completed student example. Students answer the science-themed prompts and color the illustrations to create a finished poster.
Everything is ready to print and use, making it a simple first-day science activity for busy Utah teachers.
How Can Utah Teachers Use the Finished Posters?
Students can share their responses with a partner, small group, or the entire class. Their completed pages can then become an easy back-to-school science bulletin board or classroom display.
The posters are also helpful for:
- First-day morning work
- Science bell ringers
- Early finishers
- Classroom community building
- Meet-the-teacher night displays
- Introducing science and engineering practices
As you read the finished posters, you will also learn more about your students’ interests, confidence levels, experiences, and attitudes toward science.
Help Every Student See Themselves as a Scientist
A strong Utah SEEd classroom begins with students believing that their questions and ideas matter. This simple activity sends that message from the first week of school.

Utah SEEd Science Resources
As a Utah science education expert, I specialize in creating classroom resources aligned with the Utah Science with Engineering Education (SEEd) Standards. I offer a growing collection of Utah SEEd science resources for elementary, middle school, and secondary teachers. These materials are designed to help students analyze data, interpret graphs, use evidence, investigate phenomena, and apply science and engineering practices while making standards-based instruction easier for busy Utah teachers.
I sell my resources both here on Teaching Science and also on TPT.
