Make a Model Hand with Working Muscles & Tendons - Fun Science Fair Project - 2 views
-
-
5.4.1 Investigate technologies that mimic human or animal musculoskeletal systems in order to meet a need.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.5.4.3 Design solutions to problems in the context of musculoskeletal body systems. Using suitable tools, techniques and materials, draw or build a prototype or model of a proposed design. Differentiation: For ELL and special education students; Create the model hand with the class as they create it. Go step by step and do the process with them so they can watch you and hear the directions you are giving.
-
-
Have students look up a prototype online that mimics a human musculoskeletal system. Have them share with the class the purpose and prototype. Next, as a class students will create a model hand using simple materials such as string, paper, and a pen or pencil. Have the students create this hand and see how the "tendons" mimic the musculoskeletal system in a real human hand.

2.1.3. Predict and experiment with methods (e.g. sieving, evaporation) to separate solids and liquids based on their physical properties.2.1.4 Observe, sketch, demonstrate and compare how objects can move in different ways (e.g., straight, zig-zag, back-and-forth, rolling, fast and slow).2.1.5 Describe the position or motion of an object relative to a point of reference (e.g., background, another object).2.1.6 Observe, demonstrate, sketch and compare how applied force (i.e., push or pull) changes the motion of objects. Differentiation: Instead of writing out a hypothesis, have special education students draw the designs or what they predict will happen to the salt when they swing their pendulum.
-
-
Using paper, string, and salt, students will create a cone out of the paper that will act as their pendulum. They will swing the pendulum so it just touches the pile of salt and watch the designs it makes. Students can change the pendulum's direction to see if that changes the design.
Play the Shape Twister Game | Education.com - 1 views

-
MA.1.4 2000 - GeometryStudents identify common geometric shapes, classify them by common attributes, and describe their relative position or their location in space.
-
-
review basic shape terms that will be especially useful in math later on, when kids move to studying three dimensional shapes and early geometry. Great for Kinesthetic learners
-
Children use this Twister game as a way to learn their shapes. The children design the game board by drawing several different shapes. A spinner is made, and directions are given to the children playing. Each child puts their hand or foot on the space designated to them by the directions.

when doing this lesson make sure you explain vocabulary for ELL students, for example explain what blueprints are and what an architect is...etc.
-
-
ok, this particular one is to be done on the computer. However, you could easily make this a project the whole class can do by giving them graph paper, rulers, and certain measurements they have to keep thier apartment in. LOVE this idea!
The Place Value Game | Education.com - 1 views
-
-
this a great lesson to help students visualize place value. You could pair ELL/special need students with advanced students.
-
So many ways you can extend this activity to other grades. You could extend it for Kindergarten and 1st grade by using manipulatives instead of a deck of cards to introduce place value. You would want to give the 1st and second graders a ganizer mat when using manipulatives. For higher grades you could have the students pair up and then have to make two sets of numbers and add them together to make the highes number, or subtract them to make the lowest number. You could also do this activity using decimals to intoroduce the place value of decimals.

Lesson Plans: "School Shape Scavenger Hunt" (Elementary, Mathematics) - 2 views
-
-
I would read a book about shapes first as part of the discussion on shapes. I like in the end when the students come back and tally their results. You could also do a bar graph with the tally marks.
-
Scavenger hunts are usually motivating for kids.

I like this symmetry lesson, especially the part when students will switch desks and do the other half of their neighbors design. This concept also leads well into Art (butterflies) and literature. This lesson could be for any grade just by changing the object they use for symmetry.

K.OA.1 "Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings2, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations." K.OA.2 "Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within (e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem)." K.OA.3 "Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way (e.g., by using objects or drawings), and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).K.OA.4 For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number (e.g., by using objects or drawings), and record the answer with a drawing or equation."

It's no secret that children absolutely love marshmallows. It's also not a secret that children don't always love math. But put the two things together and you've got some fun activities that will get your child excited about math basics like estimation, measurement, area, and counting. He'll have so much fun, he won't even know he's doing math! Here some ideas for marshmallow math games you can play with your kindergartner.
Repeat, then Eat!: A Patterning Game | Education.com - 1 views
-
This incredibly edible activity gives kindergartners the chance to practice identifying, copying, and extending basic patterns.
-
Patterning teaches kindergartners to look for what's the same and what's different, in addition to the order, or sequence, things occur. And when everything's edible, the learning feels like play!
-
-
-
Extension: This game can be used with A,B,C letters to learn the alphabet in addition to pattern recognition in mathematics. Adaptations: This activity can be modified to include pictures for ESL or Special Needs.

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.
-
-
-
Game can be modified to include rounding to the nearest ten, hundred, etc.
-
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.

Fractions with color tiles. Allows students to record their findings on graph paper. Make a game of it by trading papers, and allowing the other student to attempt to build the other student's fraction bar without peeking at the answer.
-
I made a copy of this activity. It's simple yet effective (and I have a set of colored plastic tiles that I only use when discussing area, so this is a great additional use for them.)

Understand Volume Using Sugar Cubes | Education.com - 1 views
-
-
For the more advanced students you could place them in pairs and one of the students would create a shape and their partner would then have to find the volume. Students could also find the area of the sides or the perimeter. This activity could also be used when students do not understand the concept of volume. You could start the activity very slow with simply finding the volume of one cube and then gradually make the volumes more complex.

Practice Shapes With Bubble Wands | Education.com - 2 views
-
-
Students who are more advanced can write down the name of the shape they made. When blowing bubbles the students could also count how many bubbles they were able to make with each shape and write that number down. ELL students could practice just making the shapes with pipe cleaners. Students who are farther behind could work with other students in creating different shapes, but after that they could blow their own bubbles outside. The students could also skip the bubble blowing and just create shapes with pipe cleaners and glue these on paper to create a pipe cleaner shape display. Older students could also do this activity with more advanced shapes.
