" I use Teaching Channel all the time. It has been a huge influence on my practice as has some of the videos NSTA puts out. I watch all the science NGSS stuff, assessing, ESL engagement, etc." Sue Holland, 7th grade, Miller Creek Middle School

5th graders at Dixie working on angles. Check out Liz Naughton's (Dixie School) comment below.
This site has many great resources for teachers, including engineering and STEM projects that relate to the new standards. They even are color coded like the standards! (Don't know about the coloring coding? Check out the link below!)
5th graders at Glenwood School made walking graphs. Anyone else try it?
All the 4th and 5th grade students and teachers at Coleman Elementary school got together to participate in the marshmallow spaghetti challenge. The students worked in teams to build the highest structure possible with a marshmallow on top.

Jessica Lizarraga has been having her 7th grade students construct bridges out of toothpicks. The following are resources she has used with her project.
Marin Municipal Water District has educational resources, maps, and provide school assemblies. Robert Atkinson, 4th grade teacher at Brookside states, "We had an assembly from their school education program which was really great. They gave all the teachers a deck of wonderfully illustrated water cards with some fun activities." Derek Lecy, 5th grade at Bahia Vista, shared these two links about using drawing in science to help students better internalize their experiences and knowledge. Thanks Nate McDonald from White Hill for this video about a great project. "These robots are an inexpensive way to have students complete circuits to make an interactive robot. Using a AA battery, a hobby motor, wires, and a couple markers with a cup, students can make a ScribbleBot. I love this lesson because students can rapidly go through the engineering design cycle to get their ScribbleBot working and to change the way the robot draws." |
