Preventing The Spread of Zombie Germs!
Students in grades 5 through 8 can actually measure the effectiveness of hand washing in a scientifically controlled way. Students identify variables, complete data tables, graph results and analyze their data. Teachers will need access to a black light and a small drop of glow in the dark paint. Kids really enjoy this activity and it utilizes many Common Core skills.

Lesson Plans are based on the Constructivist Theory (students construct their own understanding of the world through hands-on experiences and reflecting. The teacher serves as a facilitator and creates new understandings through coaching, moderating, suggesting and questioning. These lessons will enable students to:
• be active participants in the learning process
• construct knowledge from experience
• learn through personal interpretation of the world
• problem solve
• use authentic tasks, ex

Snow Science! How Dense is Our Snow? A Hands On Science Experiment.
When the snow starts falling, students love to play around in it. Here is a science experiment that ties in their love of snow with learning! This Science Experiment measures the amount of liquid in snow and leads to a discussion on density. I tie this experiment to an introduction to our fractions unit in math. Even in 5th grade students need a reminder that fractions are a part of a whole. They will also get to see a real world example of when fractions, graphs, and line plots are used to help

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
