Friend or Foe Garden Game: Pests and Pollinators
This is an original game I invented and used at school gardens in California and Texas - HUGE HIT! It's fun to challenge students' knowledge and INTUITION about creatures that might be found in nature and around the garden. All photos are original!
Students learn by playing the game. Find out which insects are beneficial and why. Instead of instantly swatting at all insects, students will respect the role they play, e.g., predator, member of the food web, pollinator, etc.

Coriolis Effect Balloon Lab
The Coriolis Effect is a very challenging scientific concept to understand, and it is hard for kids to wrap their brains around it when it's so far removed from their classroom and lives. This hands-on lab activity allows students to model the Coriolis Effect - feel and see it happen right before their eyes. Students use balloons as the Earth and draw the winds as the balloon earths spin on their axis. They can see the Coriolis Effect happen and see the directions that the winds blow on both the

Differentiated Water Cycle Project- Journey of a Water Drop (Best Seller)
When I taught the water cycle to my 7th grade students (which they should have already learned about before being in my class), I took it one step further and tied in energy levels and states of matter. I had my students show their knowledge of this information in a creative way- the journey of a water drop.For this project, the students get a "choice board" of options (and also have the ability to suggest their own idea). They have to follow a water drop through the water cycle, while referring
