      This lesson could be extended in all sorts of directions, depending on what stage the children are in their learning.  For example, you could tie the lesson into other sorts of measurement and have students estimate how much the mitten can stretch. This lesson can be adapted for more accelerated students by allowing them to experiment with different mittens and gloves to see which is the most efficient at holding heat. 2.NS.3=Generate questions and make observations about natural processes. 2.NS.5=Discuss observations with peers and be able to support your conclusion with evidence.

      5.4.2 Investigate the purpose of prototypes and models when designing a solution to a problem and how limitations in cost and design features might affect their construction.

      Students could also extend the activity to see how different types of gloves and mittens hold heat, thereby deciding which is the most efficient.

      2.4.3 Identify a need and design a simple tool to meet that need.

    This is a fun lesson that connects literature to science and allows students to think about temperature in a new way.  The lesson involve measuring the temperature of the room, an empty mitten, and a mitten with a hand in it.  Most children will be surprised to find out that the mitten itself is not warm, but mittens keep your hands warm because they insulate your body temperature.

Grade K temperature making predictions cause and effect weather snowman

shared by Mary Miller on 11 Feb 13 - No Cached
  • Living in sunny Southern California, we don’t really have opportunities to make snowmen, so using a simple pre-printed sheet with the outline of a puddle and an overturned paper bowl the kids made their own melty, sunshine snowmen. They put the usual accessories on, with the exception of the sunglasses, and then wrote a sentence about where their snowman should move to or what happened to him. A lot of bang for the buck.

      K.2.3=Describe in words and pictures the changes in weather from month to month and season to season K.NS.3=Generate questions and make observations about natural processes.  This activity could be extended for special needs children by allowing them to explain to the teacher what they are thinking, and then the teacher could help the student express themselves through writing.  Kindergarteners don't know how to write very well yet, anyway, so they will probably need a lot of help and creative teachers to understand their written work.

    In this activity, students make a melting snowman out of paper, then they write about the snowman.  For example, they might say why the snowman is melting.  This activity incorporates a lot of language arts, but it also allows young children to think scientifically and notice things about their environment, such as weather and temperature.

      ESL: Use of a notebook for recording, and peer work within a classroom will help ESL students reinforce vocabulary and language through communication.

    Here's a simple experiment you can do in your own home, to help your second-grader understand how temperature can affect states of matter. Your child will have a more solid understanding of these important scientific concepts after she does this experiment in a baggie! Not to mention, this activity ends with a refreshing treat and is perfect for those warm summer days.

      MA.6.5.7 2000 Construct a cube and rectangular box from two-dimensional patterns and use these patterns to compute the surface area of the objects. MA.6.5.1 2000 Select and apply appropriate standard units and tools to measure length, area, volume, weight, time, temperature, and the size of angles. MA.6.5.2 2000 Extension: After cubes are made, students can decorate them as they please and they will be hung from the ceiling the following day. Before the cubes are hung, the teacher can review lessons on correct units to use when measuring the volume, area, and various shapes on the planes of the cube.    Adaption: Print directions bi-lingually for ELL students and allow students to write the correct units of measure on their cubes to help them remember.

    My sixth graders enjoyed making origami shapes. In addition to the math concepts it helped with reading and following directions. We used to recycle greeting cards to make boxes as well. It can be a little harder to make the folds, but it was a good use of resources.

      Standard 6.NS.1 - Understand that the properties and behavior of matter can be explained by a model that depicts particles representing atoms or molecules in motion. Extension: Once students understand properties of different liquids, they can think how to manipulate those liquids and their properties. One example would be to heat up one liquid to several different temperatures and see how they interact. Adaptation: Teacher could split students into groups of 3-4 and have them stack liquids on their own. Students could bring in several liquids from home (all approved) and try stacking them based on the observed properties.

    Students will learn how to stack liquids one on top of the other. They will observe how the liquids do not mix together because they have different densities. Students will be able to identify characteristics of different liquids.
