Students will learn about algorithms and programming at a basic level and use playdough and microbits to review information about the planets that they have learned. Students will code using block coding and iterative design to debug their code. Students will use data, lists, and arrays as well. Students will follow an outlined algorithm to correctly construct the planets to scale using rulers and play dough.

Incorporate some computer science ideas into a scientific abstraction of the four spheres of Earth! This lesson has opportunities for visible learning include sketching in their notes, quick writes, and a jigsaw. The students will apply the idea of classifying items into the four spheres in the real world by taking a short walk outside.

This is a Remix of Planet Travel Brochure. I love this activity, and I think it is a great way to learn about the planets. Modification: Not only can this lesson be taught by making a brochure, a virtual tour could be created here. What if the students pretended that they had already visited this planet and created a video or slide show presenting their findings.
Students will work with a partner or as an individual to research a planet and create an informative travel brochure.
I provide all the materials for this project and it is completed in class.
It is used as a summative assessment at the end of the Earth and Space Systems unit.

To prepare for the SOL push I published this set of SOL terms with many pictures on the Quizlet Flashcard/Game platform.
The content can be printed for a written review/quiz or played in a classroom environment as a live activity from student computers or with a teacher exerting control from a central projector screen.
This site is compatable with Google Classrooms! Students can be assigned the review as homework. Quizlet keeps scores and correct/wrong answers if students are enrolled as a class.

Students will learn about the twin STEREO spacecraft and how they are being used to track solar storms through reading a NASA press release and viewing a NASA eClips video segment. Then students will examine data to learn more about the frequency and speed of solar storms traveling from the Sun to Earth. This activity is part of the Space Math multimedia modules that integrate NASA press releases, NASA archival video, and mathematics problems targeted at specific math standards commonly encountered in middle school textbooks. The modules cover specific math topics at multiple levels of difficulty with real-world data and use the 5E instructional sequence.
This is a set of four, one-page problems about the size of …
This is a set of four, one-page problems about the size of planets compared to earth. Learners may use ratios to compare planets within our solar system or those outside of our solar system with the earth. Options are presented so that students may learn about the MESSENGER mission to Mercury through a NASA press release or by viewing a NASA eClips video [6 min.]. This activity is part of the Space Math multi-media modules that integrate NASA press releases, NASA archival video, and mathematics problems targeted at specific math standards commonly encountered in middle school.

Overview: I created this Lesson Plan to help students learn about how to read weather maps. Weather maps give basic information about fronts, systems, and weather measurements. Weather maps illustrate the weather conditions for an area at a given time. SOL 6.7f states that students are expected to interpret basic weather maps, including the identification of warm and cold fronts. Also, students are to map the movement of cold and warm fronts and interpret their effects on observable weather conditions.Prior to this lesson, students should have already been introduced to weather tools, cloud types and types of weather.
