Thank you Erik Lunde from Miller Creek for these resources! From Erik: Used as an introduction to Wave Erosion to familiarize students with beach anatomy, wave erosion/deposition processes and terminology. It also introduces students on ways to engineer wave erosion protection systems. Afterwards, I will have students create an experiment testing out the erosion prevention strategies in a mini wave pool using sand and water
Mary Kate Kenney's 3rd graders at Coleman works with her students to see what they know about floating objects in preparation for a clay boat design challenge. Day two of Mary Kate's 3rd graders. They were able to build clay boats, test, record observations, and iterate. They all had successful clay boats in round two. Here are some other resources that might be helpful for your clay boats/ buoyancy lessons. Thanks Mary Kate!
Who has the biggest mouth in your classroom?
Robert Atkinson's 4th grade classroom at Brookside start their study of water with Water Cycle in a Bag.
Mr. Johnson's and Mr. Lecy's classes built two different models of "breath" powered rockets for the students to test and re-design to find ones that went the farthest.
I tried a lesson from this site in a 4th grade classroom about waves. It was a well thought out lesson with videos to show what the student working looked like and a record sheet for the students. The There are a lot of lessons here to try! Thanks Robert Atkinson for this resource!
