      This would be great to use in an ELL classroom as a way of using vocabulary such as "above", "below" etc and color so that it becomes a following the instructions game where the person is telling you where to put your pattern block. In this case the picture would be the key and the child could make the shape on a blank table.

    Print all pages on cardstock and laminate. Students use pattern blocks to recreate the images. K.G.6: Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. Sticky Note: This would be great to use in an ELL classroom as a way of using vocabulary such as "above", "below" etc and color so that it becomes a following the instructions game where the person is telling you where to put your pattern block.

Lincoln's Dive - A Newton's Law Experiment - sciencebob.com - 1 views

    • Susan Shonle
       
      Extensions: Science connects with a historical figure: Isaac Newton.  Teacher can give background on him prior to experiment or allow students time to research via book or internet this important historical figure. Adaptations Gifted students can choose one of Newton's laws and give a presentation on it after researching the topic.  ESL & Special Ed students can illustrate one of Newton's Laws on poster board or foam core.

    The Lincoln High Dive: 5th Grade Science Experiment Newton's first law states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.  This experiment also illustrates gravity. Supplies: A Lincoln penny (or other small coin), a piece of card stoic or stiff paper, a film canister, baby food jar, or other similar size container with a mouth slightly larger than a penny, a pencil or pen, and scissors.

Physical Weathering Of Rocks: Sugar Cube Breakdown | Education.com - 1 views

      4.2.1 "Demonstrate and describe how smaller rocks come from the breakage and weathering of larger rocks in a process that occurs over a long period of time."
    • Mary Jo Mack
       
      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. 
  •  
    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.

Play Graphing Battleship | Education.com - 2 views

      Larger coordinate planes could be used for longer games.  Make sure to have the players compare their two graphs at the end, if they are different someone made a mistake.
  •  
    An easy way to practice coordinate pairs.
  •  
    Love this because it takes a subject like graphing algebraic equations and turns it into a fun battleship game. Great for in class partner work. Suggested only for 6th grade, possibly higher level 5th grade math.
  •  
    CCS: 5.G.1 Great way to learn the x an y axis coordinate planes. Can also have them make shapes in the coordinate planes instead of straightline battleships.

      you can adapt this lesson for ELL students by going over the symbols , =
    • Jessica Buell
       
      you can extend this activity to KG or 1st grade by using single digit numbers 1-9 and then once they have mastered these you can use numbers 11-20. To extend this activity for older grades add additional steps by having them solve a multiplication or division problems and them comparing the answers or use fractions and compare greater than, larger than, or equivalent fractions.

Snag a Spoon! A Math Game | Education.com - 1 views

      You can adapt this lesson by using smaller numbers until the concept is grasped, then you can move to larger numbers
    • Jessica Buell
       
      You could extend this activity to higher grades by using higher fractions, adding or subrtacting fractions, or for younder geades by using number cards instead of a deck of cards to help them identify numbers.
    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      This game could be used in younger grades (K and 1st) by having the students use a regular deck of cards and finding four numbers of the same kind instead of equivalent numbers. Higher advanced students could use a deck of cards with harder fractions and percentages. They could also create their own decks of cards to play with. Lower ability students could use decks of cards were they have to find two fractions and/or two percentages instead of four different equivalent numbers.
  •  
    In this version of the classic card game, students gain a solid understanding of basic equivalents, while having so much fun they may not realize it's a math review.

Bubble blowing as an experiment? - 1 views

    • Krista Hirr
       
      Have students make different shapes and try to create the biggest bubble. Answer questions like "Does a bubble last longer if it is smaller or larger? "Will a bubble get bigger if you blow fast or slow? " Have them draw the different shapes, sizes and colors in their science notebooks.
  •  
    Write in a science notebook. make predictions and observations about the bubbles. Gather data and record in notebook.
