  Students can design a water wheel in groups and see how the wheel works. To extend this experiment students could then work together to make improvements to their wheel. This activity could also be connected to social studies. Students could see how water wheels have evolved over the years and what their uses were and are.

Students can build a water wheel and see the force of water in motion. They can also experiment with different forces and see how they affect the water wheel.

  Adaptions: You can adapt this activity for ELL and special needs by doing an into to the bufferfly lifecycle, you can include books, do drawings charting the life cycle. While you are doing this you can have the students make a vocabulary journal identifying vocabulary used in the butterfly life cycle. Extensions: I think ALL grades would love this activity, you would want to add things to the activity depending on the grade level. For example, for 2nd graders you can have them journal and write stories about their butterflies, 3rd grade you can have them define different types of butterfies and then see which type they have from their habitats, 4th graders can identify different locations you may find different types of butterflies, and for kindergarten you can identify differences between butterflies and moths....etc!

1.3.4 Describe how animals' habitats, including plants, meet their needs for food, water, shelter and an environment in which they can live. 1.3.5 Observe and describe ways in which animals and plants depend on one another for survival. 1.3.2 Observe organisms closely over a period of time in different habitats such as terrariums, aquariums, lawns and trees. Draw and write about observations. 1.4.3 Construct a simple shelter for an animal with natural and human-made materials.

  Extensions: This activity connects Earth Science with Technology/Engineering. Adaptations: Gifted students can make their own unique weathervane and predict which direction the wind is blowing. They could also create a weekly forecast report which includes wind direction. ESL students and Special Ed students would work in small groups or teams and could draw diagrams to indicate wind direction.
