Continental Drift and Fossils Video Tutorial
Fossils are a pretty fascinating geological phenomenon. Having some evidence of how things were from millions of years ago is pretty amazing. Fossils help us understand what plants and animals used to look like, as well as the different species that existed in the ancient past. Fossils also provided evidence of another phenomenon, which may be just as important as the fossil remains. When archaeologists found similar fossils thousands of miles apart on different continents, this helped scientist

Volcano Video Tutorial
One of the most iconic natural phenomena on Earth is a volcanic eruption. Humans have always been in awe of volcanoes and for a good reason. Their destructive capabilities are fearsome, whether from the lava flow or the ash cloud that can reach for miles. Stories and myths from thousands of years ago center on the destructive capability of volcanoes. Yet, for all their destructive power, we live on them! Volcanoes bring nutrient-rich matter, which changes soil composition. After the destruction,

Infection Video Tutorial
The battle between pathogens and the immune system is epic and dynamic. When our immune system is working well, we pay little attention. It is not until we are sick that we realize how important our immune system is for fighting off foreign invaders. Students typically understand that the immune system fights off pathogens. Still, students can be easily confused about the differences between bacteria and viruses. What better way to understand pathogens than to become them in a game?This Infectio

Land and Water Forms Video Tutorial
An iconic material in the lower elementary classroom is the land and water forms material. Whether they are made on cards, tablets, or even three-dimensional pieces that water can be poured into, they are attractive and pleasing to the student. I love how this material elegantly shows the inverse relationships between land and water forms. This inspired me to make a lesson highlighting this idea within a fun and engaging game. This game will reinforce the names of the different land and water fo

Energy Balance Soccer
One of the hallmarks of understanding metabolism is the idea of “calories in, calories out,” which is the concept behind energy balance. While there is much more to understanding human nutrition, this is and will always be the foundation. The idea of energy balance is that the body uses a certain amount of calories daily for biological functions, exercise, growth, and repair. Energy requirements are met by consuming food. The balance of energy consumed and used is referred to as energy balance.

Fungus Video
Fungi are some of the most overlooked life forms on the planet, but life, as we know it, would not exist without them. Fungi change our habitat through decomposition, the creation of soil, and nutrient utilization. As a food, fungi have many anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties and can be consumed for many health benefits. Fungi can also adapt to the environment very quickly (and change an environment) and may be part of future solutions concerning climate change. Fungi travel and communicat

Egg Thief Video
Capture the Flag is a childhood favorite, and kids of all ages and backgrounds are typically familiar with the game's rules. Since my students love this game, I needed to make a version connected to the classroom curriculum. When we played this game with small white soccer balls, I couldn't help but think they looked like eggs. This sparked my imagination, and I was inspired to make Egg Thief. When I first began playing this game, I used to say that the students were oviraptors stealing eggs fro

The instructor will not be able to see every tag made, so the children must manage disputes about whether someone was tagged. The children must be honest with each other for the games to be fun.

Planetary Bodies and Newton's Laws of Motion Video
Dodgeball is a viral game with students. Students run around, throw and catch dodge balls, and use acrobatic dodging skills to evade their opponent’s tosses. However, adults often cite dodgeball as a game promoting violence and unfairness. Strong throwers picking on the weaker ones, face shots, and non-participating students are why dodgeball is not many adults’ favorite game. So why is there such a great divide between adults and children? Is there a way to bridge the gap? What if we kept the f

Importance of learning science
Learning science is particularly important for students as it equips them with the essential knowledge and skills to make sense of the world around them. Science education is not just about memorizing facts. It fosters critical thinking, inquiry, and problem-solving abilities. These skills are not only useful in school but also in everyday life beyond the classroom.
Benefits of learning science
Learning science offers many benefits to students both in school and beyond. In fact, it helps students:
- Question the world around them and seek evidence-based explanations
- Cultivate their ability to observe, experiment, and analyze data
- Nurture a sense of curiosity, awe, and wonder about the natural world
- Understand natural phenomena and the laws that govern the universe
With a solid foundation in science, teachers can help empower students to think critically, solve problems, make informed decisions, and engage with the world around them in meaningful ways.
Teaching with science resources
One of the best parts about science class is all of the possibilities for hands-on, collaborative learning! Think: labs, experiments, inquiry-based activities, and design challenges. These activities encourage students to explore scientific concepts by observing, asking questions, and conducting investigations. Additionally, with small group centers, students can engage in group experiments, discussions, and projects that require them to collaborate, share ideas, and solve problems together.
