5th grade SIOP Science balance lesson plan
To motivate students, teacher will demonstrate how to operate a triple-beam balance scale by indicating movement of the tares (or weights). Ask if students have ever weighed themselves or any objects. Link measurement to how they might see his or her parents weighing fruit in a supermarket. Explain to them what a triple-beam balance scale does in comparison and how it is applied to measuring the density of water.

Graph Type Cards
Learning graph types, but don't want to do direct instruction? Want to make students accountable for learning graphs?These cards have examples and definitions for the 3 main graph types: Bar, Line, and Scatter Plot. Students can use these cards to come up with their own definitions for graph types to share with their classmates, or they can be used as task cards to practice note taking. Cards can also be used as flaps for interactive notebooks (INTBs) or as flash cards for test review.These card

Newton's Laws: 1st Law of Inertia, Forces & Motion-Lab, Lessons & Demonstrations
WHEN IS INERTIA? ENGAGE Place a half-filled cup of water on a rolling cart. Have students observe as you give the cart a good push, ie., force. Position the cart so that it will hit a solid surface like a wall. Initially, the cup and water will slide back (choosing to stay in place) demonstrating the first part of the law of inertia. Then the water moves in the same direction as the cart and the cup keeps moving as well. This demonstrates that the static friction of the cart on the cup overcome
