" 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.
5th graders at Glenwood School made walking graphs. Anyone else try it?
Thank you Colin Johnson, 4th grade, Bahia Vista: " I learned about the Speedometry program from an offer included in my Scholastic News. I have received the FREE classroom kit and have used the materials to experiment with the slope of ramps, and ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide. Additionally my students measured distances and converted between different units. For instance meters to cm and/or mm. The downloadable curriculum from the University of Southern California’s School of Education is detailed and comprehensive. My students were excited to use the Hot Wheels which resulted in them taking a while to settle down before focusing on the activity, but the end result was very good." Speedometry™ is a free-to-use curriculum targeting fourth grade (8-9 year old) students. Comprised of two units with up to six lessons per unit, Speedometry™ provides coursework intended to cover a period of 10-12 days. Students work in collaborative learning groups to deepen their understanding of speed, angles, slopes, collisions, kinetic energy, and potential energy. The lessons and activities aim to put students on course for success in science and mathematics Susan Hughes from Marin Community School shares her favorite middle and high school math resources
The 7th graders at White Hill build a water timer with a plastic bottle, tin foil, and a rubber band. The worked on 1 minute timers, 2 minute timers, and 4 minute timers.
Who has the biggest mouth in your classroom?
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!
From San Mateo County Office of Education. A unit of study that integrates science (NGSS), math, and language arts.
At our coaches meeting, we shared that many outside resources are written using a 5 E lesson plan format. Nancy Tsung shared a template that might be helpful as you are developing your plans for your lessons. |
