There is so much on this website to explore! There are workshops, lesson plans, videos, and materials. Below are some of my favorite. Some have been shared before and some are new!

Susan Hughes from Marin Community School shares her favorite middle and high school math resources
4th graders at Laurel Dell stake out their "claim" with a blue flag and record their observations of nature with words, pictures, and tally marks. They will observe the same "claim" over a period of time to see the changes that occur. Thanks Molly O'Donoghue for sharing!
From Ranae Roemer at Davidson:. " I like this activity because it covers NGSS and CCSS ELA standards. The kids have to problem solve how to cut “equal” pieces and are usually very surprised at the planet sizes once the activity is completed. We include Pluto in this activity so they can see how tiny it is compared to the other planets. I do this activity after the students have learned about the formation of the solar system and the characteristics of the inner and outer planets."
Thanks Chris Gonzales for sharing this resource: " The Modular Kits are impressive! The advantage of using a Modular kit is that the cost is much lower, materials, equipment and lesson guides are provided. Over 63 pages of modular with 5 -6 kits per page are listed on the website. The variety provides opportunities for the science and language arts teacher to select kits that fit directly with NGSS science standards. "
From Hannah Dye, 4th grade teacher at Dixie: The students worked together in teams to design buildings that would survive an earthquake of 7 or more on the Richter scale. We created a list of building codes as a class and discussed the recent earthquake in Haiti. Students discovered that much of the damage in Haiti could have been diminished if they had building codes in place.
