      3.2.4 Identify fossils and describe how they provide evidence about the plants and animals that lived long ago and the nature of their environment at that time. 3rd grade

      Extensions: Be sure to go over vocabulary and different terms involving fossils, using illustrations to show the definition as well as the words. Extensions: There are a lot of ways you can extend this activity. For Kindergarten or 1st grade you can extend this activity by creating a center of a dinosaur dig and have the students make their own fossil as well as draw a picture of the fossil they "dug up" and writing a simple sentence about what they think their fossil is.

      Adaptions: You can adapt this lesson for ELL and special need students by having the students describe their fossil and you can create a timeline of the board and have the ELL and special needs students draw a picture of their fossil and place it on the timeline of when they think it lived.

    This is a great design process experiement where the students can see the process fo design and also see what happens whern different oils and water mixes. This is something fun that the students will be very engaged in while deisgning and making their own lava lamps.

      Students can plant all different types of plants. This project could be used for older students who are learning more details about plants or who are trying to do experiments on what makes plants grow best. ELL and special needs students could help by planting the seeds in the box when first constructing the garden. Advanced students could draw and label the parts of the plants that were planted.

    Students make a garden view box where they can see plants grow below and above the surface of the soil.

      This activity could also be connected to health class when learning about the systems of the body. Students could also create other objects that resemble body parts and their functions. This activity can be connected to langauge arts by having students research and write about the function of the vertebral column.

    This activity allows students to make a bendable spinal column model to see how this functions in the body.
  • katie wilds on 15 Feb 12
     
    Students will think about how the spine works as they construct and build a mock spine. This activity will get them thinking about the deisgn process. They will see how and why the spine bends. This is a great visual tool.

      When doing an assessment vary questions asked to help them remain successful. Most students should have no problems assembling the sandwich. If the noise does not agree with a student, consider making another instrument, like a drum to keep them involved. 
  • Brandon Appleton on 12 Feb 12
     
    Awesome activity to shows students about sound. This site has video tutorials and 3 links that provide a concept map, instructions to perform activity in class or in after school activities, and websites that allow students or educator go deeper in their understanding of sound. You can essentially make your own assessment for the activity.

      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.

      Nature of Science Standards: Plan and carry out investigations-often over a period of several lessons-as a class, in small groups or independently; use measurement skills and apply appropriate units when collecting data; keep accurate records in a notebook during investigations and communicate findings to others using graphs, charts, maps and models through oral and written reports. This activity can be adjusted for ELL students by giving them a picture chart on which to record their data. Rather than using all words on the chart, pictures of a cup, plate, cake pan, etc. can be place on the chart, and the students can fill in the results of the distance for each picture. This activity can also be used with younger age groups by having them use other objects, such as a small ping pong ball, to throw. A bigger object may be easier for younger children to throw.

    Students play a "tip toss" game, and try to determine the rule for the distance each player must stand from the tableware. To determine the distance, students will work together in groups and record their score from various distances. They will then graph or chart their data and determine the best distance to have players stand at during the game.

      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.

      3.1.2 "Investigate how the loudness and pitch of sound changes when the rate of vibrations changes." This activity can be used with ELL students by having them do the activity while saying a variety of words that they need to practice learning. These words could be said in Spanish and English, both. This is a great way to use this activity in a way that is meaningful for those students. This activity can also be used with older ages by having the students record their predictions about what will happen if they use a louder voice, or a deeper pitch with the sound. The students could then compare their results with other students in the class.
  • Ashley Stewart on 11 Feb 12
     
    Students use a bowl, plastic wrap, a rubber band, and sugar crystals to investigate sound. The plastic wrap is secured across the top of the bowl with the rubber band, and the sugar crystals are placed on top of the plastic wrap. Students get close to the bowl and say their name aloud. The sugar crystals move!

      I like this activity because it works well for a wide variety of students.  For students who are easily overwhelmed reduce the number of scents to match.  High level students could be asked to come up with an idea for another experiment like this one but for a different sense.  Consider allergies when you plan this activity!

    This is a fun activity that teaches young scientists to use an under utilized sense, smell.
