      5.3.1

      Standard 5.3.1 is mainly about producers, consumers, decomposers, and the predator/prey relationship so I don't see the connection to this activity.
  •  
    This is a great way for students to visualize what components are actually in our blood. It is hard for most kids to understand what they cannot see. If they cannot see the ed blood cells, white blood cells, and plasma, it can be confusing for them. This activity can imulate blood and the studetns can see all of the different componenets.

Grow Your Own Crystals! | Education.com - 1 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      This project can have an art component by allowing the students time to draw what the crystals look like. Students can also write or draw a hypothesis about what they will see before the growth begins. Students in older grades can do this experiment and then investigate how the crystals were formed through research and class discussion.
  •  
    Students can watch and observe the growth of crystals in this experiment. This investigation can be done as whole class or in groups.

Taste testing without your sense of smell - Fun Science Experiments for Kids - 1 views

    • Liz Dilts
       
      1.1.1 Use all senses as appropriate to identify the component parts of objects and the materials from which they are made. Differentiation: For students with learning disabilities, coming up with the words to describe what their senses are communicating to them can be very difficult.  Writing down their experience can be even more difficult.  Instead, allow students to draw what they think they are tasting and pictures to represent certain adjectives such as 'sweet'.
  •  
    In this activity students must use their senses to decide what they are tasting.  They must plug their nose and see how their senses are connected.
  •  
    This is a classic, although I have also seen an onion used where you hold a piece of onion under a blindfolded person's nose and have him/her eat a potato or an apple, and the person thinks he/she is actually eating an onion.

Explore Sand Silt and Clay - National Wildlife Federation - 1 views

    • Ashley Stewart
       
      1.2.1 "Observe and compare properties of sand, clay, silt and organic matter. Look for evidence of sand, clay, silt and organic matter as components of soil samples." This activity can be modified for gifted students by having them record their predictions about which particles will sink and which particles will float, rather than solely making the observations. This activity can also be modified for older grades by having them do the same thing. The older students can also be told to gather material that is sand, silt, and clay, and try to keep these in separate jars. 
  •  
    Students gather dirt samples from different outdoor areas and fill a jar with their dirt samples. The teacher will add water until the jar is two-thirds full and the students will take turns shaking their jar for two minutes. Each group will allow the contents in their jar to settle for fifteen to thirty minutes. Have the students make observations about how the dirt settled. The heaviest pieces of soil will settle first. Have the students identify the different-sized particles.
