      5.NBT.7 "Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used."

    Many parents use the Sunday paper to look for coupons and cost savings on household items. Instead of doing all the work yourself, why not ask for help from your fifth grader? "Cash for Coupons" is a simple, fun activity which will save you time and reinforce your child's math skills along the way. Plus, it will give your child an opportunity to experience practical application of the math he's learning in the classroom.

      1.NBT.4 "Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a two-digit number and a multiple of 10, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used. Understand that in adding two-digit numbers, one adds tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose a ten." This activity can be modified for gifted students by adding the number of die used. Try using two or more die as a challenge! The final score can be adjusted as well. This may be beneficial for ELL students. Instead of using 30 as the score to try to reach, try using 20. In the same way, the final score can be raised for gifted students. This activity can be used for older ages by multiplying the numbers, rather than adding them.

    Students take turns rolling a die. Each student starts with a score of 0. After each roll of the die, the students add the number rolled to the previous number, keeping a running total. The play continues for 8 rounds. The player with the score closest to 30, without going over, wins!

      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.

      5.4.1 "Investigate technologies that mimic human or animal musculoskeletal systems in order to meet a need." This activity can be adapted for ELL students by allowing those students to draw pictures of their design, rather than write a paragraph or make a chart. If the students are able, they can label the parts of their picture, using the English words they know. This activity can also be adjusted for younger grades by allowing them more than one science class time to work on the project. This may be an activity that can span a few days. The activity can then be broken down into sections. The students could use one class time to ask their questions within their group, and plan what they want their product to look like. The actual design and implementation of their product can be put into place on a separate class day.

    Student create a product for a bicep strain that provides assistance to the muscle so that it does less work to bend the arm. The students are divided into groups to created their product, using the steps of the engineering design process: ask, imagine, plan, create, improve.

      Ask children to brainstorm other ways that would make the ice melt faster or slower. Then show them what happens when salt is put on the ice. Make the connection to the salt trucks on the roads in winter.

    Three glasses of ice cubes are used to show the difference between rates at which the ice will melt when placed in sunlight, by a vent and in the shade.

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.

      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.

      To connect this activity to writing, have children make up stories that go along with the fossils they create. They can write as if they found the fossil or write about the place and time the fossil is from.

      Fossils are also an Earth Science topic. See standard 3.2.4 for example.

    After exploring fossils (what they are and what we learn from them) have children use this project to create their own fossil.

      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.
  • Ashley Stewart on 11 Feb 12
     
    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.
