  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.

From the DNR / State of Indiana, this website provides many links to educational programs offered by DNR and our State Forestries. In particular, I like the free tree seedlings for Indiana third graders. I could see this one "gift" developing into a unit on conservation of resources. Specifically, standard 3.2.6: Describe how the properties of earth materials make them useful to humans in different ways. Describe ways that humans have altered these resources to meet their needs for survival. We could discuss the lumber industry, and how it benefits human-kind. Moving on from there, we can discuss how to replenish the supply.

It could also be used in younger grades where groups are making one together or the class creates one together and discusses our responsibilities to keep the earth clean.

Excellent activity for grades five and up. "Students work as teams in mission control and aboard a spacecraft as they test their decision making skills and solve problems during this innovative, inquiry based, space-themed science and math simulation." This activity could meet MANY science standards and math standards including the Design Process, The Nature of Science, and Reading for Literacy in Science. For the purpose of this assignment, I am assigning it to: 6.2.4 With regard to their size, composition, distance from the sun, surface features and ability to support life, compare and contrast the planets of the solar system with one another and with asteroids and comets. 6-8.RS.1: Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science texts. 6-8 RS.3: Follow precisely a multi-step procedure when carrying out experiments or taking measurements.

Roughly every other year, the Challenger Center in Brownsburg gets a grant and invites us to visit for free. Unfortunately for your cohort, we went last year, but I'll invite you back next year if they get another grant. We usually go on a Saturday morning and IT IS AWESOME! I love being in Indianapolis with these fabulous resources available.

  This game can be differentiated by grouping students (7 cards, six cards, five cards) and they can earn a certificate when they demonstrate they are ready to move up to a new group. This is a great way to reinforce skills and also assess students' progress.

  For differentiated learning, have sections of students competing. Some could compete at the seven card level, others at six, and others at five. As they "pass" each level, they earn a certificate entitling them to compete at the next level. Great way to improve skills and assess progress!

place value game Posted by:Tonda #62793 Not only do my third graders know place value, they beg to play this game. On long strips of paper I made place value charts, making sure the commas were in place and writing the words (ones, tens, hundreds, etc.) under the blank line where a number will be placed. Laminate. With a partner and a deck of cards the children shuffle the deck and then pass out the predetermined number of cards according to how far you want them to learn place value. Hundred thousands would be 6 cards, millions 7 cards, 10 millions 8 cards, etc. Cards are face down in a pile. Face cards equal 1, aces are 0, and everything else what they say. They are trying to make the largest number possible to win (or smallest). Both players turn over a card at the same time and decide where to place it. Once placed it must stay there....

This is a GREAT game idea to reinforce place value. FANTASTIC! Kids love games. Easy and inexpensive to make. You need paper (laminate finished product) and decks of cards. Can be independent learning, homework, or station time with students.

  Extensions: This math activity could be connected with art if the students used this shape to create a design and decorate image with color and texture. Adaptations: ELL & Special Ed students can benefit from small group instruction with this activity - help from peers for measuring. The art aspect would help to engage learners with learning math concepts from nature by showing examples of spiral in shells, or other objects in nature.

  To extend this activity, have write in a science journal what they think their carbon footprint would look like, then take the quiz and write a reflection of what they found out.

Students explore the differences and similarities between rocks and minerals by investigating samples of these earth materials, performing a series of tests similar to geologists' field tests, and reading about rocks and minerals and how they are used.
