      Sticky Note: This would be great to add to a fourth grade social studies unit to make a topo map of the state of Indiana which includes information pertinent to the Indiana social studies unit.

      Increase the critical thinking skills needed for this activity and connect it to ELA standards by requiring students to write why a hovercraft would or would not be an effective form of mass transportation based on their design experiences.

      4.3.3 Design investigations to explore how organisms meet some of their needs by responding to stimuli from their environments.4.3.4 Describe a way that a given plant or animal might adapt to a change arising from a human or non-human impact on its environment. Differentiation: Have ELL students record their biome's progress and changes using a picture graph.
  • Liz Dilts on 16 Feb 12
     
    In this activity, students will make a mini biome in the bottom of a one liter bottle.  Students will be able to plant a seed and give it certain nutrients to watch it grow, adapt, and change to its environment. 
  • thennessy on 18 Feb 12
     
    state standard: 1.3.2 Great way to keep kids interested over a long period of time. The kids are excited to see what their biome is doing/ how things are frowing. You can explain that everything the plant needs to grow is in the biome. A enrichment idea off this activity would be to try and simulate the different conditions in each biome to an enviornment that is in our world (desert vs rainforest) and see how that affects each biome.

      6.4.2 Construct a simple device that uses potential or kinetic energy to perform work. Differentiation: Gifted students could go a step further and cover the next standard "6.4.3 Describe the transfer of energy amongst energy interactions" and do a write up on how energy was transferred during this activity
  • Liz Dilts on 16 Feb 12
     
    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.

      4.1.2 "Investigate the variety of ways in which heat can be generated and moved from one place to another. Explain the direction the heat moved." This activity can be used with gifted students by allowing them to observe another candle burning in a bowl with no water present. The students can then compare and contrast the differences in the candles and the way in which they burn, and make inferences about why they believe the candles are different. This activity can be used with older age groups in the same way. The older students may be able to light their own candles as they work in groups, while still monitoring their progress.

    Students watch a candle burn underwater, due to the quality of absorbing heat energy in this fun activity! Be sure to very closely supervise students.

    • Mary Jo Mack
      Mary Jo Mack on 15 Feb 12
       
      This would be a great language development activity for ELL students- they could be challenged to use adjectives to describe what they are seeing during the weathering process. 
  • Mary Jo Mack on 15 Feb 12
     
    The rocks that compose the Earth's crust are subjected to a variety of forces. Depending on the environmental factors at work, the rocks can be altered in size or in composition. Factors such as wind, water, plants, and animals cause weathering, physical changes in rocks that affect their size. However, physical changes do not affect the composition of rock. In this activity you will see the effect of physical weathering on rocks.

      4.OA.4 "Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1-100. Recognize that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is a multiple of a given one-digit number. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is prime or composite." This activity could be used for gifted students by providing a bigger number chart. It could also be used for ELL students by providing a smaller number chart (ex: a 50 chart). This activity could be used for younger ages by having the students identify different types of numbers. For example, the students could be searching for even numbers or odd numbers, rather than prime or composite numbers.
  • Ashley Stewart on 31 Jan 12
     
    Students work in pairs for this game. Each pair has a printed 100 chart. The students designate one color marker for the prime numbers, and another color marker for the composite numbers. Students take turns crossing out a composite number (1 point), circling a prime number (3 points), or passing. The player with the most points when all of the numbers are found, wins!

  • Addition Mission         Game mats               Number cards This game is designed to practice addition skills. Children should be somewhat familiar with addition before playing. Print one set of game mats (enough for 6 players) and one set of number cards (pages 2-5 ONLY). Then reinsert the number card pages into your printer so that you can print Buzz Light Year (page 1 ONLY) on the back (or use your printers double-sided feature if it has one). Cut apart number cards. Laminate the game mats or place inside plastic protectors. To play, children take turns choosing 2 Buzz cards. The child adds the numbers together and if he has the matching sum on his game mat, he places the cards on the mat. If not, he discards them. Play continues until one player fills his game mat. This player wins.

    Addition Mission:  Students each have a game mat and take turns choosing two cards.  He/she adds the two cards together, and if he has a matching sum on the game mat, he puts the cards on the mat.  If not, he discards him.

    CCS: 4.OA.3 This is a fun way for the kids to practice multiplication facts. This game can be changed for some of the struggling students by having one dice remain constant (one die is always a 3, work on multiplication facts with the number 3).

      4.NF.1  Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (nxa) (nxb) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Differentiation: For gifted students, the problems on the board can be changed to best suit the child's abilities.
  • Liz Dilts on 06 Feb 12
     
    This activity can be adapted to practice basic facts, identifying simple polygons, or finding the meaning of fractions. The game involves rolling a die and landing on a marker.  Each player must either solve a problem on the marker or answer a question in a cell to move forward.

      4.G.1  Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles, and perpendicular and parallel lines.   Identify these in two-dimensional figures. Differentiation: Pair an ELL student with a classroom "buddy."  This person can help to model the game and walk the student through the directions.  By modeling the game for the ELL student, the other student will be re-affirming their knowledge in the subject.
  • Liz Dilts on 06 Feb 12
     
    This activity will help students find perimeter and area.  Students will draw a card from a bag and then use a colored pencil to draw that shape.  After time, students may flip or rotate their figures to fit on the board but figures may not overlap.  This activity makes students pay attention to precise angles and makes them think critically about a shapes sides and angles when rotating or flipping.

  • Liz Dilts on 06 Feb 12
     
    This is a fun activity in which students must understand place value to the hundred millions.  In this activity students hide their recording sheets and draw a number.  The student who draws a number must announce which place value he or she put that digit.  Then, the other partner must copy that down.  Each partner alternates the plays until they have filled in each place value.  At the end, the teams must see if their numbers match and they will score accordingly. This game forces both partners to be working at all times so not just one person is doing all the work!

For older age levels, this activity could include more difficult or complex categories.

    Children classify and sort objects found outdoors into a chart/graph on the sidewalk. This chart or graph can be written with sidewalk chalk. The categories can be predetermined by the teacher, or the students can come up with the categories.
