      Expansion: Use wire and a lamp to help students rig a moon that moves by pushing it so that they can record the results more easily.  Or have them work in groups so that one can move the moon while the other records.

      ESL: Working collaboratively will help reinforce student vocabulary and understanding of science terminology.

    We all know that the Moon has different phases, but if you thought these phases had something to do with the shadow of the Earth (like many people think), you'd be wrong. Try this activity to see how the Moon's phases really work:

      Standard - 4.NS.2 - Observe, investigate and give examples of ways that the shape of land changes over time.(4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3)

      Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
       
      Extension: Students could experiement with different laying techniques of the soil, rock, clay, etc. to see if erosion occurs differently based on the order of earth's layers. This experiment could be completed in small groups, all studying different arrangements of the earthen materials. Students could present their findings to the class or in the form of a report.

      Standards: 2.DP.2 - Day to day and over the seasons, observe, measure, record and recognize patterns and ask questions about features of weather. (2.2.1, 2.2.2, 2.2.3, 2.2.4, 2.2.5, 2.2.6) Investigate how the position of the sun and moon and the shape of the moon change in observable patterns. (2.2.7, 2.2.8, 2.2.9)

      Extension: Students could use this activity as a stepping stone to study the phases of the moon in greater depth. The next step could be to model the changes of the moon as it rotates the earth by using a flashlight as the sun.

      Adaptation: This is a great physical representation to descripe words that may have no meaning to ELL students. Students are more likely to remember the phases because there is food involved and it was studied in a casual setting.

    Students can learn the phases of the moon as they enjoy a tasty snack. Students open Oreos up and remove ice to make the different phases of the moon.

      Adaptations: Activities could be completed alone and not as part of 5 day unit if time did not permit. Experiments could be completed in small groups or modeled explicitly by the teacher.

      Use of graphs and graphic organizers could be varied depending on ability of students.

      Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
       
      Extension: This is a science project heavy on language arts (writing). Allowing ELL students to draw more pictures may make this project more memorable for these students.

      Once students have determined what soil is good for plants, students could test different plant seeds. Compare and contrast what soil works best for different plants.
    • Andrew Todd
      Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
       
      Standard: 1.NS.2 - Observe, describe and ask questions about soil components and properties.
  • Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
     
    This is a five day unit for the study of soil. Students will identify different properties of soil through exploration. They will tell which kind of soil is best for plant growth and list supporting reasons. They will document what they learned in a science notebook with diagrams, labels, and descriptive words.

      The Nature of Science 2.1  Use a scientific notebook to record predictions, questions and observations about data with pictures, numbers or in words. SCI.2.2.2 2010 Experience and describe wind as the motion of the air. SCI.2.2.3 2010 Chart or graph weather observations such as cloud cover, cloud type and type of precipitation on a daily basis over a period of weeks. ADAPTATION: Low Ability and/or ELL students can draw pictures in place of written observations.  EXTENSION:  Students can my a pictograph of common trends they observed during their observation

      Standard: K.NS.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
  • Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
     
    Students learn all about classifying rocks based on the physical attribues that can be observed by holding and looking closely at the rocks.

      Standard: 3.NS.2 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.
    • Andrew Todd
      Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
       
      Extension: Students could create an fossil then research that prehistoric animal. Students could find out when they lived, how common the fossils are, and how they became extinct.
    • Andrew Todd
      Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
       
      Adaptation: Students could work together in groups to make fossils if resources were limited. Students might make their own fossils, but then work in groups for the research component. This way the ELL and lower English speaking students could handle the research part of the activity.
  • Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
     
    Fossils are created when something is preserved over many years resulting in an impression or outline in or on a rock. Some fossils are over a million years old! In this fun activity, kids learn how to make fossils of their own, and get lots measurement and fine motor skills practice along the way.

    I do a similar activity with store bought Play Doh, but these look more authentic and I like the practice with measurement.
