      Adaptions: I would make this a cooperative learning assignment putting students into goups and assigning each person a task giving ELL and special need students the task of the recorder or illustrator. Extensions: you can extend this activity to younger grades (5TH AND 4TH) by going over the different states of matter. I found a Bill Nye science video on this topic that would be good for younger students to peak interest and enhance understanding.

      For a bonus project, have students ask their parents to help them learn about thier leaf. They can find out a few simple facts, draw a picture, write a sentence, and be the teacher for the rest of the class.
  • Krista Hirr on 14 Feb 12
     
    Take a nature walk and have students pick one kind of leaf. Then follow these directions on how to make an imprint with clay. They can take home a "Leaf Token" as a keepsake at the end of the unit.

      This activity can be used in older grade levels. In the older levels students could work with other materials besides corks and toothpicks. ELLs can be paired with native English speakers to help design their boat. The ELL could put the boat together while the native English speaker writes down the steps to making the boat.
  • Amanda McCarthy on 12 Feb 12
     
    This activity allows students to create a floatable boat out of corks and toothpicks. They use the scientific method to design their boats.

      Have students take home feeders and hang them outside homes. Then have them make predictions about activity level and write down observations every evening for a week. Hang a feeder outside of the school and compare results.
  • Krista Hirr on 12 Feb 12
     
    Make a Hummingbird feeder: A little complicated, so maybe get a couple of parent volunteers to help with this project. Make a literary connection by reading a story about hummingbirds, then discuss how they fit in our ecosystem.

      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.
  • Amanda McCarthy on 12 Feb 12
     
    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.

      This activity can be used for older grade levels by having students first try the experiment and then having them find answers as to why different substances cause different tastes. This activity could also be connected to math by graphing the results of what student liked what taste the best or the worst.
  • Amanda McCarthy on 12 Feb 12
     
    This activity is a fun experiment involving the sense of taste. Students can practice their observation skills by noting the differences in tastes.

    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.

shared by Amanda McCarthy on 12 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • Students explore how different materials (sand, gravel, lava rock) with different water contents on different slopes result in landslides of different severity. They measure the severity by how far the landslide debris extends into model houses placed in the flood plain.
    • Amanda McCarthy
      Amanda McCarthy on 12 Feb 12
       
      This activity can be tied to social studies by having students create an essay, PowerPoint, or poster on how landslides have and do affect the world's population. This can be done in groups of students (with all ability levels).
  • Amanda McCarthy on 12 Feb 12
     
    This activity allows students to see the effects of a landslide on a small scale in the classroom. This is a neat experiment that looks easy to assemble and explain.

      More advanced students can make a detailed book with observations of what they see happening everyday with the worms. Students who are farther behind can create a book with pictures of what they see happening. This activity could be connected to language arts by having students write an essay about the steps of the metamorphosis process.
  • Amanda McCarthy on 12 Feb 12
     
    There's no better way to learn about metamorphosis than to observe the life cycle of a living creature up close. This activity allows students to see the life cycle of mealworms.

      Sticky Note: I choose a kindergarten standard for this because it could be easily manipulated to fit this standard. They could be grouping these based on how high they bounce. It could also be used with higher grade levels with math and doing measuring, graphs and data (range, mean, median, mode, etc).

    K.1.1. Use all senses as appropriate to observe, sort and describe objects according to their composition and physical properties, such as size, color and shape. Explain these choices to others and generate questions about the objects. Sticky Note: I choose a kindergarten standard for this because it could be easily manipulated to fit this standard.

      1.2.1 "Observe and compare properties of sand, clay, silt and organic matter. Look for evidence of sand, clay, silt and organic matter as components of soil samples." This activity can be modified for gifted students by having them record their predictions about which particles will sink and which particles will float, rather than solely making the observations. This activity can also be modified for older grades by having them do the same thing. The older students can also be told to gather material that is sand, silt, and clay, and try to keep these in separate jars. 
  • Ashley Stewart on 11 Feb 12
     
    Students gather dirt samples from different outdoor areas and fill a jar with their dirt samples. The teacher will add water until the jar is two-thirds full and the students will take turns shaking their jar for two minutes. Each group will allow the contents in their jar to settle for fifteen to thirty minutes. Have the students make observations about how the dirt settled. The heaviest pieces of soil will settle first. Have the students identify the different-sized particles.

      2.2.1 "Observe, describe and measure ways in which the properties of a sample of water (including volume) change or stay the same as the water is heated and cooled and then transformed into different states." This activity can be modified for ELL students by having them record drawings during each observation, rather than writing the words for their observations. This would be a great activity for drawing, because each state looks so much different than the others (solid, liquid, and gas). This activity can be adjusted for older grades by having the students do the same activity with predictions at the beginning of the experiment about what they believe will happen. These students could also make other predictions about other types of matter that would react in the same way the juice ice did. For further exploration, these students could then test their hypothesis regarding other objects and their state of matter.
  • Ashley Stewart on 11 Feb 12
     
    Students place "juice ice" into baggies and observe the state of the ice at various points in the day. The students then compare the beginning state of the ice with the ending state of the ice. This is a great lesson on solids, liquids, and gasses!

      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!

    There are multiple activities on this site that would be beneficial. I don't see a 6.3.22 standard in the 2010 standards. Is this a typo? There are several third grade standards that deal with sound.
