      To make a math connection, have children imagine they are building a ship (that is X big) and need to fill it with as much cargo as possible without it sinking. They will have to use conversions and multiplications to figure out the solution.

      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.

      A lot of ways you could adapt this for ELL learners or Special needs 1st grade

      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.

      Nature of Science Standard: Make predictions and formulate testable questions; plan and carry out investigations-often over a period of several lessons-as a class, in small groups or independently; perform investigations using appropriate tools and technologies that will extend the senses; use measurement skills and apply appropriate units when collecting data; test predictions with multiple trials; keep accurate records in a notebook during investigations and communicate findings to others using graphs, charts, maps and models through oral and written reports; compare the results of an investigation with the prediction. This activity can be modified for ELL students by allowing those students to be the recorder for the group. This will allow those students to participate, without having the pressure of attempting to measure and use words they may not be comfortable with yet. Allowing these students to be the recorder keeps them involved with the group, while also allowing them to practice the English words for the numbers being recorded. This activity can also be used for younger ages by shortening the activity to throwing the ball five times, rather than ten. The act of throwing the ball make take longer for these students, as well as measuring an angle.
  • Ashley Stewart on 11 Feb 12
     
    Students are placed in groups to answer the following question: At what angle should you throw a ball for it to travel the greatest distance? This question is answered by stretching a rubber band from the end of a ruler to a predetermined mark on the ruler. Students will launch the ball from the rubber band ten different times with a range from fifteen degrees to seventy five degrees. The students will then record each distance for each angle.

      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." This activity can be modified for gifted students by having them make predictions or recommendations about the types of materials that could be added to the boats to improve their design and function. The activity could be modified for younger grades by having them design only two boats and decide which one is better. This would be ideal, because younger students may take more time to build and design their boats.

      This has some interesting variations to our pennies in the boat activity. I like the math connection with the bidding slip and making sure they save their boats for later comparisons.
  • Ashley Stewart on 11 Feb 12
     
    Students design and build four boats from squares of aluminum foil. Each team decides which one of their four boats holds the highest number of dice. Each team should record their findings and observations, as well as ways to improve their designs.

      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.
