Digital Science Notebooks with Google Apps webinar - YouTube - 0 views
-
Science notebooks are used in many science classrooms for students to record lab procedures, data collections, observations, thoughts and reflections. Digital science notebooks are useful for students that cannot manipulate a writing tool, have visual impairments or require the additional benefits of using a laptop or e-tablet. Using Google Applications, like Docs, Image and Spreadsheet, students can view and complete the same assignments on web-based technology as students using hard copy handouts. Digital notebooks are a bit time consuming to set-up, but have many benefits over hard copy science notebooks. Students can easily link to websites, graphing or calculating tools, share data with classmates, take photos and incorportate all this into their notebook. FREE USING GOOGLE APPS

water cycle model with spray bottles - 0 views
-
This water cycle model can be used in a variety of ways for student experiments. It can be filled with water and closed to be used to simulate the phases of the water cycle over a few days (with a lamp to heat the water). It can also be used as an open model to show the pathways that water travels through, as it flows to the ocean. COST = $90 FROM WARDS SCIENTIFIC
homemade watershed model - 1 views
-
This relief model of several watersheds can be made by students using paper mache. Students use a topographic map or other relief-type model as a guide and form the shape of the land using their hands or other tools. The individual smaller watersheds can be broken down by outlining or painted different colors. Once the model is sprayed with a protective hardening agents, water can be poured over the land surface for an authentic model of the watershed. Great for classroom discussions and simulations. COST = $10-$15 FOR MATERIALS
powers of ten poster - 0 views
-
This poster breaks down scales into four groups; atomic-molecular, microscopic, macroscopic and large scale. Magnetized item cards can be placed on the poster by students. They are assisted by color coded groups, labled units of measurement and the powers of ten nomenclature at the bottom. This can also be a reference for students, printed on a 8.5 x 11" size paper and put into a science notebook. COST OF PRINTING VARIES, FREE TO $60 (at Staples)

-
This poster outlines expected student behaviors during laboratory. The teacher can move the "X" cards to let groups know whether they are "on task" or "off task", allowing them to self monitor themselves and their group members during class. COST IS FREE
portable_whiteboard - 1 views
-
Any color of card stock, graphic organizer or map can be placed into a heavy duty sheet protector (with or without 3-holes on the side) These are a great help to use in the field to protect student work from water and soil. They can be used so that students can write on a paper and want to be able to erase, using dry erase markers on the sheet protector. I like to use them as portable whiteboards for students. Students can write their thoughts for a quick assessment or exit ticket and be able to share it with the teacher by holding it up. COST IS $20 FOR A CLASS SET (sheet protectors and cardstock)
