    state standard: 3.1.1 This is an activity that has a lot of depth to it. This is a good opportunity to establish groups that have a variety of ability levels in it. It may be an actiity that couldbe done as a whole class activity. Vibrations and how sounds are transmitted and heard is something that students are fascinated by.
  •  
    Since you're using a third grade standard (and most of the standards dealing with sound are third grade standards), I would also tag this as a "grade 3" activity and also tag with "sound" and "physical science"

  • Sugar Sugar is a cool geometry game. Sugar pours out from a place near the top of the screen, and your goal is to make the sugar fall into the correct cups. You do this by drawing on the screen with the mouse, and watching as sprinkles of sugar trickle down the lines you draw. Challenging and fun! Good for grades 3 to 12

    ok I started playing the sugar sugar game and couldn't stop! This would be a GREAT center game for teaching logical thinking and geometry!
  •  
    Spell "geometry" correctly in your tag for this game so it will be easier to locate in the future. Thanks!

MAIS K-6 Science Inquiry, Investigation, and Design Technology - All in the Balance Qui... - 1 views

    • Ashley Stewart
       
      The Design Process: Identify a need or problem to be solved; brainstorm potential solutions; throughout the entire design process, document the design with drawings (including labels) in a portfolio or notebook so that the process can be replicated; select a solution to the need or problem; select the most appropriate materials to develop a solution that will meet the need; evaluate and test the design. This activity can be adapted for gifted students by allowing them to first draw a blueprint of their model. This will allow them to make predictions and hypothesis about their cube model and their tag board model. These students can then record their observations and their conclusions about their final product. This activity can also be adapted for younger grades by giving the students more materials to help them balance their models. Also, allowing the younger students to work in partners, rather than pairs, will allow them to more freely express their ideas. Working with a partner will give each student the opportunity to make sure their ideas are heard. For younger students, omitting the blueprint may also be helpful. Rather, having the students simply draw a picture of their model with labels may be more appropriate.
  •  
    Children use styrofoam cubes to design and construct an object that will balance on your finger. Also, another challenge can be given to the students after completing the first challenge. Students use tag board to design and construct a model figure that will balance on a high wire. Students should draw their own blueprint to illustrate what they did and what they discovered.

      5.4.2 "Investigate the purpose of prototypes and models when designing a solution to a problem and how limitations in cost and design features might affect their construction." This activity can be modified for gifted students by having them make predictions or recommendations about the types of materials that could be added to the boats to improve their design and function. The activity could be modified for younger grades by having them design only two boats and decide which one is better. This would be ideal, because younger students may take more time to build and design their boats.
    • Susie Beesley
       
      This has some interesting variations to our pennies in the boat activity. I like the math connection with the bidding slip and making sure they save their boats for later comparisons.
  •  
    Students design and build four boats from squares of aluminum foil. Each team decides which one of their four boats holds the highest number of dice. Each team should record their findings and observations, as well as ways to improve their designs.

      Sticky Note: This would be great to use with younger kids by making the distance shorter that the balloon had to travel and making the material list shorter. It would be a great way of graphing as well: graph the length of of each trial for each team.
  •  
    4.NS.6: Test predictions with multiple trials. I would put the limitations in less words with visuals to show what the different things mean to make it clearer for all participating. I would also take the competition aspect out of it (limitations 5-7)and use it simply as a group activity. Sticky Note: This would be great to use with younger kids by making the distance shorter that the balloon had to travel and making the material list shorter. It would be a great way of graphing as well: graph the length of of each trial for each team.

Electric Science: Make a Battery! | Education.com - 1 views

    • Jessica Buell
       
      Fun 4th grade activity
    • Jessica Buell
       
      Adaptions: This is a great activity for ELL and special need students. Be sure to go over vocabulary and explain what electricity is and use the same terms for the experiements in order not to confuse them. Extensions: You can extend this activity to higher grades by first doing this experiment, then doing another experiment to demonstrate how batteries make electricty (by lighting a lightbulb)
  •  
    Core Standard: Provide evidence that heat and electricity are forms of energy. (4.1.1, 4.1.2) Core Standard: Design and assemble electric circuits that provide a means of transferring energy from one form or place to another. (4.1.3, 4.1.4, 4.1.5)

      5.4.1 Investigate technologies that mimic human or animal musculoskeletal systems in order to meet a need.5.4.2 Investigate the purpose of prototypes and models when designing a solution to a problem and how limitations in cost and design features might affect their construction.5.4.3 Design solutions to problems in the context of musculoskeletal body systems. Using suitable tools, techniques and materials, draw or build a prototype or model of a proposed design. Differentiation: For ELL and special education students; Create the model hand with the class as they create it.  Go step by step and do the process with them so they can watch you and hear the directions you are giving.
  •  
    Have students look up a prototype online that mimics a human musculoskeletal system.  Have them share with the class the purpose and prototype. Next, as a class students will create a model hand using simple materials such as string, paper, and a pen or pencil.  Have the students create this hand and see how the "tendons" mimic the musculoskeletal system in a real human hand.

      Extensions: This activity connects Natural Science with English (LA).   Students read books about recycling, reusing and reducing waste.   They also read about birdhouses. Finally, they write an essay on how the house is earth friendly. Adaptations: Gifted students can make their own birdhouse and document type of bird and habitat it is designed for.  ESL and Special Ed students can work in small groups or pairs to design birdhouse and do research/reading together. 
  •  
    Earth Friendly Birdhouse: Design Process - choosing specific materials for the design in mind and function. You have also been talking about resources and know that conserving resources by recycling, reusing, and reducing waste is important. Now you will have a chance to put what you know to use. Design Challenge:Design and build a birdhouse that will attract a bird in your neighborhood. The bird you plan the house for should be about the size of a tennis ball. Criteria:Your birdhouse must have a door that is big enough for a golf ball to fit through. Have a perch inside. Have a perch outside the door. Be able to hang from a tree or other support for 5 minutes with a golf ball inside. Keep birds safe from rain and wind. Be squirrel and cat proof.
  •  
    Multiple grade levels can do this project, but differentiation would be required for skill and developmental level. Younger grades would require more help and modeling of project.

Practice Hula Hoop Times Tables! - 1 views

    • Mary Jo Mack
       
      3.OA.7 "Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers."
    • Mary Jo Mack
       
      I would use an activity like this to incorporate learning into a reward, for example, taking students outside for good behavior, test grades, etc. Keeping hula hoops on hand is an inexpensive way to incorporate physical activity into academic instruction.
  •  
    If you're finding it painful to get your child to practice math lessons learned throughout the school year and her skills are slipping, try this mental and physical multitasking game to get your child back into the swing of things. This physical coordination reinforcement activity uses a hula hoop to get the mental juices flowing. This game is fun with two or more players taking turns and keeping score, but can work just as well with one.

Structures: Building Activities for Kids | Exploratorium - 1 views

    • Krista Hirr
       
      After exploring as a group, have students build a structure at home that they believe is the most structurally sound as well as tallest possible. The guidelines for this project are as follows: The stucture can only be made out of spaghetti and marshmallows.The budget for thier structure is $200 (not real money). Each marshmallow (hypothetically) costs $10 and each strand of uncooked spaghetti costs $5. The structure must hold a stuffed gorilla that weighs 5 oz. The tallest structure wins. My sister's kids do this project. It is required for 4th and 5th graders, but it is open to the whole school. Her kids have been doing it since 1st grade and love it. Every year they try a new design and take pictures of models past.
  •  
    This website shows you how to explore different structures and answer the question, which supports the most weight, trauma, wind? and what purpose do they all serve.
  •  
    This sounds very interesting! I enjoy hearing about projects that keep the students' interest year after year.

      This project would also be excellent for creating a sense of community in the classroom as everyone would be working together toward a common goal (acceptance of their project by NASA_.   ELL differentiation:  I would probably find a different project to accommodate ELL's as this project is very intense, and requires a strong command of language (in order to follow instructions.)  It is possible to create a book of picture instructions for the project or give them a smaller, yet still important role in the class for this particular assignment.

      adapt this for students with special needs by having them first do this with a real coffee cup and sugar cubes to understand the concept. Also, you can click on easier levels or harder levels depending on student need.
    • Jessica Buell
       
      I love this game. There is really no need to come up with new ways to extend this activity, as the students pass each level they get a little more difficult! I think kids will LOVE this activity and not even realize they are learning! This will be good for working on introducing computer skills as well. Be sure to go over how to use the mouse for younger grades and ELL and special need students.
  •  
    This game could be used for other grades as well.

      4.G.2 "Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles." This activity can be modified for ELL students, gifted students, etc. by using fewer shapes, as well as shapes that are easier to identify. In the other sense, it can be modified to include more shapes that are more difficult to identify. This activity could also be used in other subject areas, such as science. It could be used to identify different classifications of plants and animals. It could also be used in foreign language. The students could read a vocabulary word in the foreign language, and then have to say the correct vocabulary work in English.
  •  
    Children make a game board displaying different shapes they should know (polygon, quadrilateral, parallelogram, etc.). Each child roles the die and moves that number of spaces. If that player can correctly identify the shape in their space, they roll again. The first one to the end and back wins!

Find the Math Fact Family | Education.com - 1 views

    • Krista Hirr
       
      To differentiate, advanced students can fill in a missing fact from the family. Some fact families could even have multiple answers depending on the use of division or multipication. For ex., 5 and 10 could be 2 or 50.
  •  
    Children decide which number does not belong, in a group of four numbers. The goal is to find the three numbers that belong in the same fact family, and then state a division fact using the numbers in that fact family. 
  •  
    Exploring fact families through a game of "which one does not belong?"
  •  
    These family math facts are helpful and can be used for multiple grade levels including 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. I think it will be good for the students to make their own tools for learning. They will be interested in using it more if they made it themselves.

Froggie Counting Game | Education.com - 1 views

    • Ashley Stewart
       
      K.CC.4 "Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality." This activity can be used with ELL students by having them simply count the spaces, rather than finding the matching number from the die. The gifted students can be given cards, rather than die, with simple math problems on them. The student would move their froggy to the number on the board that is the solution to their math problem. For example, if their card read "3 + 2", the child would move their froggy to the 5 space. This activity could be used with older grades by using the card concept, but using multiplication or division problems.
  •  
    Children roll a dice to advance their "froggy" to the next number. The first one to get the froggy in it's house at the end of the tray, wins!
