      Not sure how this gets differentiated, be sure to assign roles to students in groups to maximize their success.

    Place students into groups when doing this activity. This can be a great way to teach students about the sun and planets.

    I think you may have meant 5.2.1 for your standard. It seems to match more closely than 5.1.2.

    This activity is great for giving children an awareness of the environment. They can make connections to the real world that they live in and can get them thinking about the nature of science by observation. They can see pollution in action.

      Student who are ready can learn to read a thermometer or a barometer as well as a part of this activity.  Make sure to encourage careful record keeping and not accurate predictions.  Students should be made aware that one does not "win" science by making correct predictions.

      2.2.9: Investigate how the shape of the moon changes from day to day in a repeating cycle that lasts about a month. This activity can be adapted for gifted students by having them identify specific words that describe the phases of the moon they're observing. For example, under "Day 1," the student could write words such as "waxing," "waning," "full moon," or "new moon." This activity could also be used for younger age groups by having the students observe the moon for one week, rather than one month.
    • Susie Beesley
      Susie Beesley on 21 Feb 12
       
      My only concern is that the students may think the moon actually does get "a bite" taken out of it and changes shape instead of realizing that it always remains circular, but it just appears to be different shapes based on the position of the moon in relation to the sun and the Earth. If you use this activity, be sure to make it perfectly clear that the moon is always round.
  • Ashley Stewart on 08 Feb 12
     
    Have students keep track of the phases of the moon by using marshmallows glued to construction paper. The students observe the moon each night, and bite the marshmallow into a replica of what they observed.

      K.2.3 "Describe in words and pictures the changes in weather from month to month and season to season."  This activity can be adjusted for ELL students by allowing them to use only pictures for recording their observations. If the students are feeling somewhat comfortable with the new language, they can be paired with English speaking students to work together to spell and sound out words for their notebooks. This activity can be modified for older age groups by having the students make predictions about what is going to happen with the weather conditions. These students can also make predictions about why they think the seasons change.
  • Ashley Stewart on 17 Feb 12
     
    Students can participate in this long-term activity by observing and recording the weather each week of the school term, or the school year. The students can do various activities within this long-term activity, such as measuring the amount of rain or snow, recording weather conditions, making observations in a notebook, etc. This is a great way to observe and learn the seasons!

      This project can have an art component by allowing the students time to draw what the crystals look like. Students can also write or draw a hypothesis about what they will see before the growth begins. Students in older grades can do this experiment and then investigate how the crystals were formed through research and class discussion.
  • Amanda McCarthy on 12 Feb 12
     
    Students can watch and observe the growth of crystals in this experiment. This investigation can be done as whole class or in groups.

      2.2.6 Learn about, report on and practice severe weather safety procedures. Differentiation: Allow ELL students to present orally, in written expression, or artistically (poster, picture...) on a severe weather phenomena that is common in the area where they are from and the safety procedures for this weather.  This will allow students to present on a topic that is familiar and also educate other students on their background.
  • Liz Dilts on 15 Feb 12
     
    Help students to understand what goes on in a tornado by creating one of your own!  This is a common severe weather phenomena that happens in Indiana and should be combined with safety procedures on the topic.

      This project would also be excellent for creating a sense of community in the classroom as everyone would be working together toward a common goal (acceptance of their project by NASA_.   ELL differentiation:  I would probably find a different project to accommodate ELL's as this project is very intense, and requires a strong command of language (in order to follow instructions.)  It is possible to create a book of picture instructions for the project or give them a smaller, yet still important role in the class for this particular assignment.

    Great activity to engage students in fossils. Students can create fossils and create a story to help demonstrate how fossils are good pieces of evidence that explain what happened in the past.

      This activity can be connected to other forms of weather such as temperature or rain fall. Students can also look up information about how people measure the weather using scientific tools. This activity can be connected to language arts by having students write about the weather.

    Students go outside to measure the wind with objects found around the house. This activity would be good for a small group of students and an adult.

      A lot of ways you could adapt this for ELL learners or Special needs 1st grade
    • Jessica Buell
      Jessica Buell on 17 Feb 12
       
      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.

      This would be a great language development activity for ELL students- they could be challenged to use adjectives to describe what they are seeing during the weathering process. 
  • Mary Jo Mack on 15 Feb 12
     
    The rocks that compose the Earth's crust are subjected to a variety of forces. Depending on the environmental factors at work, the rocks can be altered in size or in composition. Factors such as wind, water, plants, and animals cause weathering, physical changes in rocks that affect their size. However, physical changes do not affect the composition of rock. In this activity you will see the effect of physical weathering on rocks.
