2.4 The student will investigate and understand that plants and animals undergo a series of orderly changes as they grow and develop. Key ideas includea) animals have life cycles This choice board helps students explore animal life cycles at his/her own pace. Students play an interactive hyper doc board game. This can be individual or whole class. It includes videos, online games, assessments, and is a lot of fun. Great way to engage any learner! Get started with the center square and move around the board to learn more about life cycles.

The Student Handouts for these minds-on activities challenge students to actively develop their understanding of biological concepts and apply these concepts to the interpretation of scientific evidence and real-world situations. The Teacher Notes provide learning goals, instructional suggestions, relevant scientific background, and suggestions for preparatory and follow-up activities. Many of these activities are explicitly aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards.

These teacher notes summarize important concepts for students to understand concerning mitosis and meiosis, including the principle that understanding meiosis and fertilization provides the basis for understanding the fundamentals of inheritance. The proposed sequence of learning activities will help students understand and learn these major concepts and progress beyond common misconceptions. This overview provides links to suggested activities which include a hands-on simulation of mitosis meiosis and fertilization, a card sort of activity, a vocabulary review game and discussion questions.

This game helps students to enjoy reviewing vocabulary related to mitosis, meiosis and fertilization. Each card in the deck has a target vocabulary word and two related taboo words that the student may not use when giving clues so the other students in his or her small group can guess the target word. Many students have trouble learning the substantial new vocabulary required for biology, and this game lets students have fun while reinforcing their understanding of key terms.

This overview reviews key concepts and learning activities to help students understand how genes influence our traits by molecular processes. Topics covered include basic understanding of the important roles of proteins and DNA; DNA structure, function and replication; the molecular biology of how genes influence traits, including transcription and translation; and the molecular biology of mutations. To help students understand the relevance of these molecular processes, the suggested learning activities link alleles of specific genes to human characteristics such as albinism, sickle cell anemia and muscular dystrophy. This overview provides links to suggested activities which include hands-on laboratory and simulation activities, web-based simulations, discussion activities and a vocabulary review game.

I created this game to give my students a fun way to practice multiplication! 3rd grade students should participate in meaningful activities to develop an understanding of multiplication and become fluent with their multiplication facts. This activity supports sol 3.4c, demonstrate fluency with multiplication facts of 0, 1, 2, 5, and 10 and sol 3.4a, represent multiplication and division through 10 × 10, using a variety of approaches and models. The students make a big circle around the room and play a cakewalk style game and draw pictorial models. This game should be played after students have had experiences in the classroom working with manipulatives to practice the different approaches and strategies for multiplication. Movement is an effective way for students to learn and I can easily assess them while they play the game. My students love this game and ask to play it all the time!

I created this game to give my students practice using skip counting, equal groups, repeated addition, and arrays to find the product of a multiplication problem. It is an engaging way to practice sol 3.4a, represent multiplication and division through 10 x 10, using a variety of approaches and models. In this 4-round game, students work in small groups cooperatively. After each round is completed, the student takes the recording sheet to the teacher to be checked. Students shoot a small ball into a trash can, laundry basket, or bucket from lines taped on the floor to earn points for their team. My students are more motivated during team games such as this one. It is a great way for students to work together to practice what they have learned.

This is a remix of Ordering 4-Digit Numbers from Illustrative Mathematics, https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/459. The lesson is about ordering a set of 3-digit and 4-digit numbers. The purpose of this task is for students to practice ordering numbers from least to greatest and greatest to least to help support sol 3.1c. Students will play Race to Order Numbers Game in cooperative groups of 3 or 4 with different levels of ability. Cooperative learning is a great strategy that maximizes student learning. Students work together to order numbers that are displayed on the smartboard. Alternatively, if the teacher does not have a smartboard available, he/she can write the numbers on the board. Before playing this game, students need to have knowledge of place value.
