"What is Creatability?
Creatability is a set of experiments made in collaboration with creators and allies in the accessibility community. They explore how creative tools – drawing, music, and more – can be made more accessible using web and AI technology. They’re just a start. We’re sharing open-source code and tutorials for others to make their own projects."

To begin, divide your students into groups of 4 or 5.
Assign each group a different area to discuss the following criteria:
As a group, come up with these 3 characteristics for your made-up culture. 1. Greeting (How do you say “hi” to each other?) 2. Personal Space (How big is your culture’s personal bubble?) 3. What is offensive to your culture and what is something you value highly?

Graphs and charts are great because they communicate information visually. For this reason, graphs are often used in newspapers, magazines and businesses around the world.
NCES constantly uses graphs and charts in our publications and on the web. Sometimes, complicated information is difficult to understand and needs an illustration. Graphs or charts can help impress people by getting your point across quickly and visually.
Here you will find five different graphs and charts for you to consider.

This is a fun activity for students that collect trading cards. It takes a bit of work, but it is well worth it. Visit readwritethink to create the cards. You will have to be patient, and use screen captures and cropping to print the cards and have students glue them together (unless the site has changed since I last used it!). Train one tech-smart student how to do this, and let them be in charge of helping everyone else that selects this activity if possible. You will probably be restricted to printing your cards in black and white, but then you can always have your students colour them and glue them onto coloured paper to add some colour. If fussing with the web site does not appeal to you - you could always make your own template as an MSWord document, or have the kids make them by hand instead as well. An example of a Grade 5 level assignment is included below as well as an example.

You are preparing your family’s emergency kits in case there is a need to leave your home quickly, or stay in your home without electricity or water. You need to be able to create an emergency supply kit that includes a lightweight water filtration device that is low cost. This will provide you with clean water regardless of your water source.
In this project, you will gain knowledge of natural disaster preparedness through the Red Cross Pillowcase project. You will research and experiment with the water cycle to learn how water is naturally filtered. You will then design and build a water filtration device that could filter water in an emergency situation.

Students love games, so why not get them to make a trivia game about the play or novel? (Or maybe they have an even better idea than a trivia game!) This activity is great because it hits many multiple intelligences, and is really engaging for the kids. When the games are done you can have a celebration and invite people in to play the games with your students.

DNA. It's what makes you unique. Unless you have an identical twin, your DNA is different from that of every other person in the world. And that's what makes DNA fingerprinting possible. Experts can use DNA fingerprints for everything from determining a biological mother or father to identifying the suspect of a crime. What, then, is a DNA fingerprint and how is it made? Here, you'll find out by solving a mystery—a crime of sorts. First, you'll create a DNA fingerprint (we'll supply the lab and all necessary materials). Then you'll compare this DNA fingerprint to those of all seven suspects to nab the perpetrator. Ready? Let's get to work!
