Learners will explore Jupiter's origins through three stories. First, they model their own lifetimes by tying knots in lengths of yarn to represent key events in their pasts. Then, children listen to and act out a cultural origins story, such as the Skytellers stories told by Native American master storytellers. Finally, they explore Jupiter's story by modeling a timeline from today back to its "birthday." They use the timeline to visually demonstrate that the Big Bang occurred much earlier in the past. Children will discover how the Juno mission to Jupiter will help unveil how our solar system - including Earth - came to be. The activities are from Explore! Jupiter's Family Secrets, a series designed to engage children in space and planetary science in libraries and informal learning environments.

This Frontline Education webinar is a tutorial on how to administer Dr. Kilpatrick's Phonological Awareness Screening Test (P.A.S.T.)

Une série de simulations provenant de l’Université de Colorado à Boulder pour les 9e – 12e au sujet des sciences.

« Apprenez comment le frottement provoque le chauffage et la fusion d'un matériau. Frottez deux objets ensemble et ils se réchauffent. Lorsqu'un atteint la température de fusion, les particules se libèrent à mesure que le matériau fond. »

Students will explore raw fruits to observe their characteristics and graph their observations.

Students will be able to design and defend a salmon rearing tank for the highest survival rate. They will measure temperature, ph and ammonia on daily basis and make needed adjustments. Given unit ending data students will be able to determine the optimal design for a salmon rearing tank using patterns between water conditions and survival rates.

The problem requires students to not only convert miles to kilometers and gallons to liters but they also have to deal with the added complication of finding the reciprocal at some point. In the USA we use distance per unit volume to measure fuel efficiency but in Europe we use volume per unit distance. Furthermore, the unit of distance is not simply 1 km but rather 100 km.

In this activity, students investigate the simulated use of solid rocket fuel by using an antacid tablet. Students observe the effect that surface area and temperature has on chemical reactions. Also, students compare the reaction time using two different reactants: water and vinegar. Finally, students report their results using a bar graph.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate full angles (those equal to 360 deg). The applet presents an angle (initially full) that the user can adjust by dragging the end points of the line segments forming the angle. As it changes it shows the angle measure and a message that indicate which type of angle it is. There a software 'detents' that make it easy capture exact angles such as 90 degrees and 180 degrees The message and angle measures can be turned off to facilitate classroom discussion. The text on the page has links to other pages defining each angle type in depth. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

In this lunch and learn video, facilitator's explore how easy and inexpensive it is to implement STEAM activities into early year classrooms.  Facilitator's offer examples of supplies, costs, ideas, and make connections to cross curricular outcomes and beyond.  The video also illustrates a STEAM activity which was adapted for grades K-2 and how this STEAM activity was implemented to a K-2 classroom.  The STEAM activity and resources highlighted in the video are also shared within this resource.

MathScore helps students acquire a deep understanding of math by providing adaptive math practice that functions like self-guided lessons. MathScore is fun and improves math confidence and grittiness. For any important math concept, we help students achieve mastery in 3 phases:
1. Develop relatable, definition-level understanding:
2. Develop computational excellence: Using adaptive techniques, we efficiently develop strong computational skills.
3. Develop analytical understanding.

Information on plants, flowers and trees. How plants flower and parts of a flower. What is a plant, parts of a plant and how plants make food. Trees, evergreens, deciduous trees, how trees grow, fruits nuts and berries and plants as food. How a plant is pollinated, how seeds are spread, meat-eating plants and plant defense. A tree through the seasons and leaves.

Get outdoors, take a walk, and spread spirit to your friends and neighbors with this social distancing activity.

This is a link to a Seesaw activity I created for my student's Fun Friday Mother's Day activity.

Make a recipe with your family and share your finished product with a neighbor challenge.

Here are some fun activities that can be done in the Financial Literacy classroom as Ice Breakers to start the year: Tell Me What This Means - group project that students can work through together to figure out financial messages; Sure Fire Ice Breakers- a big variety; Would You Rather- fun way to start the year and get to know your students; Fin Lit Bingo- allows students to get to know each other; Truth About Millionaires- this could be a fun way to get the students discussing wealth, myths and open up the class with each other; Draw the Logos- students could have fun drawing these logos from memory. You could have a discussion about business, marketing and the influence of these companies on our shopping mindset (and how easily we recall their logo, which means we are more likely to buy their products)

Fun Kids Online Math Games (Sheppard Software is a great resource for teachers looking for new ways to differentiate. The games offered on this site have many levels, so no matter what stage your student is at, he or she can still practice and have fun! The games are geared towards elementary and middle school students.

The content and games for this website were created with these goals in mind:
1) To add sound and visual effects to make learning fun and more memorable.
2) To design games with many difficulty levels so that players will continue to be challenged no matter how far they progress.
3) To provide games that will exercise players' brains.

NOTE: although some of the money activities are using USD, many of the activities are generic and can be used to enhance the understanding of working with money.

Students are introduced to the multidisciplinary field of material science. Through a class demo and PowerPoint® presentation, they learn the basic classes of materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, composites) and how they differ from one another, considering concepts such as stress, strain, ductile, brittle, deformation and fracture. Practical examples help students understand how the materials are applied, and further information about specific research illustrates how materials and material science are useful in space exploration. A worksheet and quiz are provided.
