Students will be able to benefit from making the helicopters by observing the design process. Observing the motion of the object, and learning what contributes to its flight/spinning motion is the main basis of the activity. 2 standards are included in this lesson and noted on the sticky note.

This is a great way for students to visualize what components are actually in our blood. It is hard for most kids to understand what they cannot see. If they cannot see the ed blood cells, white blood cells, and plasma, it can be confusing for them. This activity can imulate blood and the studetns can see all of the different componenets.

Earth Science Activity which includes exploration and exercise. Children will be engaged because they are exploring the outdoors. They will find one object from nature that begins with 1 letter from the alphabet and put these items in a flip book, and write about the items. Great for alphabet skills, earth science skills, and writing skills.
