Overview of the activity:The students will sort and graph the items given to them and discuss the way they are sorted. They will then complete a graph of the items, and then we will construct and build with the items and explain what they build and how tall it is.
Time to show what you know and apply your knowledge of living systems in this digital ecosystem project. Students will collaborate to research a specific ecosystem using their knowledge from the unit. Students will also create a digital model and representation of their researched North American ecosystem!
Students will explore the continents and oceans by using playdough maps, felt maps, and coloring to help them locate and remember their locations.
Students will understand the personal information of each famous American, why it is important, and how their personal information is important.
Students become authors as they use technology to create an ebook to share with their classmates. Students chose the life cycle of a flowering plant, frog, or butterfly. They review with hands-on resources and peer collaboration. They then use their ipad with the app “Book Creator” to create a book using real life pictures!
Overview of the activity: Introduce students to the Brainpop videos to open the discussion of what magnets are and how they can be used.
Looking for a fun way to teach both scientific method and cybersecurity? Well great job, you found it. Students will not only learn 5 characteristics to making a good password but they will also be using all of their 2.1, 3.1, and 4.1 strands to build and rebuild a structure using different materials that are probably inside your classroom right now. Need a STEM activity for a club day? Need a “Friday and I can’t teach anymore content” lesson? This is for you. Roll up your sleeves and let the students do the work and problem solve in a simple and fun way.
Students will be learning about the importance of building strong passwords! It's great that they will be able to see the real-world application of this concept through building pyramids like the ancient Egyptians. It's interesting to note how using different materials can determine the strength of a pyramid, just like how using different characters, symbols, and numbers can determine the strength of a password. This is a fun and engaging way for students to learn about cybersecurity.
Students will classify random animals based on each animal's attributes. They will get to investigate the physical characteristics of each animal during this hands-on sorting activity. Students will strengthen their ability to categorize and classify.
Students will practice communicating information to their peers with and without the use of technology.
Students will explore old and new ways to communicate information across long distances. This lesson includes information on the Virtual Education Programs available through the National Park system.
Collecting, analyzing, and graphing data with Paper Airplanes. This lesson is designed to use student-created paper airplanes to test a hypothesis, make predictions, and use the data to create and compare results in various graphs and charts.
Students will be picking an animal to create using 3doodlers. The students will be researching their animal and its habitat then create a diorama to model the animal's habitat.
Students will be learning about what a pixel is and how they have changed over the years. We will then tie this into how the ancient Greeks created the Olympics and how the Olympics have changed.
The students will collect data about their classmates on screen time, grades, and amount of sleep. They will then organize and represent this data using scatterplots to see if they have a positive, negative, or no relationship to each other.
Today we do lots of activities online. Students need to know the importance of having a secure password to keep their information safe when using the internet. In this lesson students will learn to make a safe password with a hands on activity.
Students will be using 3 different ways of communication to talk about the Empire of Mali. This activity will encourage different students to participate in different ways.
This gives students two different things to do with what they have learned and read about Storms and precipitation. Not only will students have a good time using stamps but they can also take what they read and interpret it into a graph. This is a very vital skill throughout school all the way up until 12 grade.
Teach students what it means to be a good citizen in this activity. Students create the rules and then must follow them to accomplish a class activity.
If you want an easy way to review Scientific Method, along with Force and Motion here is the best lesson for you. Using ‘Hot Wheels’ you will be identifying IV, DV, and constants. You will also be reviewing kinetic energy, potential energy, motion, speed, force, and friction.
