  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.

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!

  Sticky Note: This would also be a great activity to have after calendar in the morning of a younger class who has just discussed the weather to give kids a hands-on activity about weather.

I really like this variation of the demonstration I shared in class because it also includes the precipitation stage of the water cycle.

  This activity can be used for younger grades as a whole class experiment. Students could state their hypothesis about what will happen and then determine if they were correct or not. ELL students can work with native English speakers to make sure that they understand what the experiment entails.

This activity deals with pressure and condensation by crushing a soda can with only air and water. Students can experiment with different variables like temperature of water or type of can.

  Make sure to emphasize the need to keep careful records as that is what makes this activity appropriate for teaching the Nature of Science. This activity is excellent for showing children the value of records as it utilizes information from 50 years ago. Discovering patterns and trends is also very appropriate in this area of study. Creating a presentation of the information would offer a chance to incorporate different multiple intelligences.

  2.2.1 Construct and use tools to observe and measure weather phenomena like precipitation, changes in temperature, wind speed and direction.2.2.2 Experience and describe wind as the motion of the air. Differentiation: Allow gifted students to record the direction of wind for a week or even a few weeks. With this information discuss with the class the effects of wind direction and how it correlates to weather.

Using a container lid, scissors, a marker, a straw, and a pin students will create their own weather vanes that they can use to go outside and observe the act and direction of wind.

Ask your student, "Was your estimate close?" and "Were there more or less pieces on the spoon than you thought?"
