Observing leaves as they change color. The filters are used to transfer the colors of the leaves. Tape off part of the leaf and watch as light makes it change color like they do in the fall.

  While this activity does not cover a specific standard it does meet the requirement of teaching the design process. Make sure that students must design, test, and revise their design to make the activity authentic. A race would be a great final activity. Assessment could come from an oral presentation on what they did and why or a visual presentation, such as a poster.

At a young age, something that they can visibly see will catch their eye. It is a simple activity that has a real world application. I would use this less as a standard teaching opportunity and more for teaching the scientific process because of the simplicity of the experiment.

Children use this Twister game as a way to learn their shapes. The children design the game board by drawing several different shapes. A spinner is made, and directions are given to the children playing. Each child puts their hand or foot on the space designated to them by the directions.

  you can extend this lesson for 1st or 2nd grade by paring them up into two. They lay the 5 out and one person is the "dealer" and the other person is the "guesser". The guesser gets to ask if the card is higher or lower than 5. After the dealer resonds the guesses must try to guess which number they think the dealer has. If they guess it correclty the dealer keeps the deck, and if they guess it incorrectly the dealer passes the deck on and they switch roles. This is a great activity to reviewing , or =.

Grade 4 4.NF.2 fractions evaluate

shared by Susan Shonle on 30 Jan 12 - No Cached

Understanding fractions can be tough! Try using a deck of playing cards to formulate fractions. In this activity, you will randomly deal cards onto a game board, representing three different fractions. Work together to evaluate whether or not those fractions are in order from greatest to least. Use a calculator to help you solve, and come to a better understanding about the value of different fractions.
- Susan Shonle on 30 Jan 12
  
  Extension: This activity can connect math with art if pictures, or number lines, or graphs are used with this activity to represent the fractions and number order. Adaptations: Manipulatives can be used for this activity. Gifted students can help peers with game. Special Ed students can draw or graph the fractions if this helps them to better understand concepts.
