PAGE ACSE - Energy Conversion Kits
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Using this kit, students really learn and do the energy conversions. They physically have the pieces in their hands to create each conversion and then some.  The worksheet keeps them focused on what they have to do instead of just playing with the kits. But this isn’t to discredit that they wouldn’t learn by just playing with the kits. Conversion of energy is hard to grasp in theory, why not make it physical and help them remember.

PAGE ACSE - Modeling and Graphing Storms
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

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.
