Students will use their knowledge of famous Americans to create a “strong password.” They will then write a password for their given person using invisible ink.

Students will investigate projectile motion through simulations and hands-on activities.  Students will also research how computers and other digital technology has changed the use of artillery in the military.

Students will learn about abstraction by building a model computer and then breaking a classic story down into simple components. 

Make life cycles and data recording “egg”-citing! Incubate eggs in your classroom. As you do, monitor and record data. 

Let’s get to know our classmates by collecting and analyzing data about them!

Let’s put a fun, creative and artistic spin on converting fractions, decimals and percents! 

Students will compare the technology of weather instruments long ago to weather instruments today. They will then make a weather vane and compare it to a weather vane connected with technology. 

Watch and explore the different ways the mouse can move (back- and- forth, circular, straight, spinning), try to remember the password pattern to guess the correct password. The stronger and more difficult the code, the harder the password pattern will be to crack. Create a strong pattern so your classmates don’t crack your code!

Students will learn about the different computer networks while reviewing Sound.  These 5 mini experiments hammer home 5.5 The student will investigate and understand that sound can be produced and transmitted. Key ideas include: a) sound is produced when an object or substance vibrates; c) different media transmit sound differently.  A great way to review with it being fun!

Students will participate in multiple hands on activities with states of matter over several days.

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. 

Relate computer networks and the internet to world geography through language, culture and food.

Students will explore the continents and oceans by using playdough maps, felt  maps, and coloring to help them locate and remember their locations.

Your students will use Kitchen Chemistry to make a tasty treat as they learn about input and output devices and phases of matter! 

Ever wonder how a pumpkin grows?  Let’s learn about growing pumpkins from seed to fruit!  Pumpkins are interesting and fun…let’s learn all about the pumpkin life cycle together and even get our hands dirty as we plant our own seeds and watch the magic happen.

In this lesson, students will explore the concepts of world geography, focusing on how countries, regions, and cities are interconnected, much like devices on a network. Using network topology diagrams and the concept of communication through protocols like TCP/IP, they will learn about geographical relationships, transportation networks, communication pathways, and the potential disruptions that can affect the flow of goods, services, and information globally.

Using data analysis to determine whether countries are developed or developing. Useful for World Geography SOL review.
