Water Cycle Demonstration-Every Phase (Stations Activity)

Created by

Rick Berry

This turned out awesome. You will not be disappointed. Every phase of the water cycle. This will allow you to show your students every phase of the water cycle. (Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Runoff, Accumulation) It will also allow you to show your students that water is evaporated and anything else in the water is left behind. (blue water evaporates, clear water condenses) Station #6 allows you to demonstrate the entire water cycle. There are 7 total interactive stations to kee

Experience the Moon Phases Discovery Lab

Created by

Rick Berry

Students create and actually see the moon phases as they change the alignment between the Earth, Moon, and Sun. You only need the following supplies (styrofoam balls, popcicle sticks or sharpened pencils, and a light without a lamp shade) as seen in the picture, along with the Lab Sheet I have created to go with this hands-on activity. Could be a 1 or 2 day activity. Answer Key included. Very easy to set up and do. My students love this-as do I. Thanks and enjoy!

Severe Weather Public Service Announcement PBL

Created by

Bellamia Teaches

In this fun, interactive PBL students choose a destination somewhere around the world to "travel to." The learners research the location's climate and weather data and then focus on what types of severe weather (hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes, etc.) are encountered in that area. Students then create a PSA (Public Service Announcement) to help inform citizens of their location on how to prepare for this type of severe weather. Students choose from a menu of delivery options on how to present th

For this science experiment, we explored mixtures and solutions... For the activity, I used the following items: -pack of dixie cups -package of chex mix -3 clear solo cups (+water) -food coloring (any color) -1 large bowl -tissues I gave each student a copy of the worksheet (the product you are purchasing) before we did the activity. We started first with mixtures. For this portion, I put all the chex mix in the large bowl and told the students to draw what they saw in the "after" portion o

Candy Germ Transmission

Created by

The Pirate Teacher

Need a fun way to teach how germs are spread? Candy Germ Transmission is a fun experiment that can work well with any age group. I use it for high school, but I have friends who have used it in elementary school as well. The experiment uses two similar candies that are transferred between student pairs. Only a few students are "infected". By the end of the experiment your class can see how germs are spread both directly and indirectly. Includes instructions, data collection sheet, and

Owl Pellets (Lesson Plan)

Created by

Sunflowers and Planners

Throughout this lesson, students will be learning about owls. Students will learn about the owl’s habitat (in particular a barn owl) in relation to North Alabama. They will need to have a background knowledge of predator/prey relationships as we will discuss where the owl is located in the food chain. Students will then get to dissect an owl pellet to see if we can figure out anything about the owl’s habitat or its prey. When students first see an owl pellet, they will probably think that it i

Food Web Game

Created by

Special Ed Teach and Speech

Looking for an effective method to teach students how to understand food webs as part of an ecosystem unit? It is definitely a challenging topic and I struggled to create motivating ideas for my students. As a special education teacher, I need to address all learning styles in my classroom. For my students, this kinesthetic approach really proved effective. What I have provided is a game that incorporates the scientific method. It can be adapted to any grade level, with any population.

Virtual Field Trips - Synchronous & Asynchronous

Created by

Samantha Cornella

Each year students embark on exciting field trips to destinations that take their learning to a whole new level. Travel limitations have postponed all opportunities for that, right? WRONG! Explore the dynamic and interactive world of virtual field trips. I have compiled over 70 resources and over 100 virtual field trip experiences for grades K-5. Some can be used asynchronously with your students, while others require scheduling time with a live presenter who interacts with your students (as if

Soil Traveling Kit

Created by

Robin Howard

This kit is easily made by the teacher or even by the students themselves! I have made whole class kits or a couple to send home with a different student each night, while we are studying about soil. These are always great to incorporate in learning stations, too! Students begin learning the Scientific Process and how easy it is to just start with a question!
