Make a Fossil From Glue! | Education.com - 1 views

    • Krista Hirr
       
      To connect this activity to writing, have children make up stories that go along with the fossils they create. They can write as if they found the fossil or write about the place and time the fossil is from.
    • Susie Beesley
       
      Fossils are also an Earth Science topic. See standard 3.2.4 for example.
  •  
    After exploring fossils (what they are and what we learn from them) have children use this project to create their own fossil.

Sound Sandwich Noisemaker | Exploratorium - 1 views

    • Brandon Appleton
       
      When doing an assessment vary questions asked to help them remain successful. Most students should have no problems assembling the sandwich. If the noise does not agree with a student, consider making another instrument, like a drum to keep them involved. 
  •  
    Awesome activity to shows students about sound. This site has video tutorials and 3 links that provide a concept map, instructions to perform activity in class or in after school activities, and websites that allow students or educator go deeper in their understanding of sound. You can essentially make your own assessment for the activity.

      Extension: This activity could be a culminating activity to a unit on monarch butterflies, integrating Language Arts.
    • Susie Beesley
       
      I have seen a pasta butterfly life cycle created on a paper plate divided into fourths (similar to the one I shared in class that used other materials) which helps to emphasize the cyclical nature because next to the adult section is the egg section which starts the process all over again.
  •  
    Students will learn to identify the four stages of a butterfly's life cycle.

  •  
    This is a familiar activity!  This fun activity teaches students about harnessing potential and kinetic energy!  Very good for students who need to learn or like to work in teams!  Also would be fun on a family night.

Where Do Butterflies Come From? - 1 views

    • Jean Guernsey
       
      I just loved this craft activity. It would be the perfect activity to do after you talked about the life cycle of a butterfly. This gives the kids who need more hands on activity the ability to explain what happens to a butterfly. After they make it have the students talk about the cycle in their own words.

Making a battery | SEP LESSONS - 1 views

  • This is a great opportunity to talk about electricity as a form of energy and its conversion into heat, light and motion, and vice versa. Also, it's a good time to discuss how a power plant works and perhaps organize a field trip to a wind farm, solar energy farm, or power plant. Solar panels make very exciting demos and are avaiable at SEP. Also, consider helping make your school a solar school.

      You might also want to add a "life science" tag to this activity to make it easier for your colleagues to find and use.
  •  
    Students take surveys of different areas to find the best habitat for dandelions. They will think and hypothesize all while being engaged by being outdoors.
