      This activity is perfect for cross-curricular work with ELA.  Learning to write effective is invaluable in many fields, not just science.

    A key to good science is that it is reproduceable.  This activity will teach students how to use precise language in order to give good directions in future lab reports.

      5.4.2 Investigate the purpose of prototypes and models when designing a solution to a problem and how limitations in cost and design features might affect their construction. Differentiation: For special needs students to practice their life skills, give them a Wal-Mart or grocery store add and help them look up the price of one roll of aluminum foil.  Then, help them look up the price of a newspaper.  Assist students in deciding which material was more cost effective, and which material worked the best.  Take a vote on which you would use.
  • Liz Dilts on 16 Feb 12
     
    This activity is unique because it combines science with a practical application that provides a solution to a problem. In this activity, students will be put a small bowl of hot oatmeal into a plastic baggie, test the temperature, and seal it.  Then students will place three sheets of aluminum foil or three sheets of newspaper over the baggie.  After 15 minutes the students will re-test the temperature using a thermometer and discover which material saved heat!

    This was a wonderful experiment that our cohort did in our family science class. It was very fun for us, and so Im sure it will be fun for the kids. It will allow students to see basic principles of what makes a rocket move.

      Have students test a hypothesis and then present what they find after experimenting. You can differeniate depending on depth of project, or let children choose which experiment they would like to do.

      1.3.4 "Describe how animals' habitats, including plants, meet their needs for food, water, shelter and an environment in which they can live."
    • Mary Jo Mack
      Mary Jo Mack on 15 Feb 12
       
      Extension: This is a great way to open up conversation between the students and increase communication skills as they work together to determine what they need in their habitat in order for their living organisms to survive. This could also be a fun language arts cross-curricular activity- students could answer the question "What would your shoebox habitat look like?"
  • Mary Jo Mack on 15 Feb 12
     
    First graders love to create stories. Their especially imaginative brains are always coming up with plots and characters for even the simplest of things. This knack for creative story building is something that can help your child in any subject. In first grade, part of your child's science unit will be learning about the characteristics of different habitats. He'll discuss geography, learn about different kinds of environments, and talk about what kinds of animals live where. By creating a shoebox habitat with your child, you will expand on what he is learning in school and allow him to put those budding creative instincts to good use!

      While this activity is intended for third grade, I plan to use some of the facts to teach Kindergarten!   ELL:  Use pictures of animals to match with facts (could be used to teach English.) Gifted:  Allow students to have access to all animal cards.
  • Lori Jones on 20 Feb 12
     
    SO excited to find this!  For all third grade teachers, this complete program provides content and activities for third grade science standards.  (Animal behavior, adaptive behaviors).

  • Lori Jones on 19 Feb 12
     
    VERY cool Earth Science/Space crossover project.  Students can send in a rock from their area, and NASA will use a special tool (like the one on the Mars Exploration Rovers) to tell you what it's made of.  Students could compare rocks on Earth to the rocks found on Mars.   Class can view and print various rock pictures from this website and create their own rock book, differentiating by ability.  (could be categorized by color, composition, geographic location, etc.)  It can be expanded as needed.  Kindergarten example would be to create a journal entitled "My Rock Collection."  They would find pictures of rocks that are blue, red, yellow, green, purple, etc and categorize them.

    Place students into groups when doing this activity. This can be a great way to teach students about the sun and planets.

    I think you may have meant 5.2.1 for your standard. It seems to match more closely than 5.1.2.

      Not much differentiation needed, possibly change what certain students have to record. Add lesson writing for some who struggle and more pictures of what they are viewing.

    Easy project to conduct with your fifth graders that works with multiple standards. Students begin to gain knowledge of mass and weight and how gravity acts on the objects.

      For use with the Science Process standard, Prediction.  This hands on activity would be useful with ESL, and the cooperative learning style would also help with ESL,and also be easy to differentiate g/t kids by allowing them to make a video or podcast of the daily weather and thew news.  If grants can be written, this would be a good one to take a field trip to a local television station

    state standard: 1.1.2 Very simple and hands on activity for the first graders. The good thing about this activity is that you can use pictures with all the words. Not all first graders are able to read all the words, having pictures can be helpful for the low ability students as well as the ESL students.

    state standard: 2.1.7 Doesn't the title of the activity say it all, dancing raisens. Just telling the 2nd graders about what you are planning on doing is going to grab their attention. It is also exciting for them to do activities with things that they know.

      ELL - English Language Learners could work with a partner to research the site, but the sifting and categorizing process is hands on, and doesn't require strong language skills.  By using pictorial examples for instructions, ELL students can be successful in this effort.
  • Lori Jones on 19 Feb 12
     
    This site doesn't provide specific activities; however, I would design earth science activities to assist kids in researching this park, and the surround area.  We would discuss how and why the area has these deposits, the history of the area, and how to go about finding diamonds and other cool rocks.   Extension activity:  Order bags of dirt from Crater of Diamonds park and have the kids sift through to find and identify various rocks and minerals.   Standards: 3.2.1:  Examine the physical properties of rock samples and sort them into categories based on size using simple tools such as sieves. 3.2.2:  Observe the detailed characteristics of rocks and minerals.  Identify rocks as being composed of different combinations of minerals. 3.2.3:  Classify and identify minerals by their physical properties of hardness, color, luster, and streak.

      This is a creative activity that addresses science and language arts curricula.  Computers/internet access is required.
  • Lori Jones on 19 Feb 12
     
    This activity addresses the third grade Physical Science standards 3.1.1, 3.1.2, and 3.1.3.  It meets the core standard of Observe and describe how sound is produced by vibrations. I like this activity because it allows students to choose where their journey will take them.  Internet access is a requirement.  I do not think this activity would be as dynamic if it were adapted to be just a listening activity.   ELL's could use the internet to "travel" and investigate sound in their native language.  High ability learners could create an atlas to go with their journals.

      This activity has a natural connection to a science lesson about how our senses and nerves work to create reactions.  The teacher can require different forms of data analysis based on the students' skill level.  Simple min/max to averages and standard deviation are available.

    A simple activity that is fun and competitive and can generate a lot of data for data analysis practice.

      I chose this site because it had great explinations of the weather. You can create many different activities to demonste understanding of weather. One thing I would do it first teach the students the aspests of weather and the differences in lengths of daylight in difference seasons. Then , we would all together do an activity to determine the difference in Earth's titls and how it affects weather during different seasons. Extensions: you can extend this activity for younger students by creating a chart to graph the different seasons and what the weather looks like in those seasons, then you can demonstrate the earths tilt with a globe and have the students guess which season they think our state would be in depending on Earth's tilt. Adaptions: I would suggest using illustrations to explain vocabulary, they can make a vocabulary journal.
