We are exploring magnets here in kindergarten! We sorted objects between magnetic and not magnetic. I wanted the kids to be able to glue down their sort to display in the hallway. You could use tape or regular glue, but in the interest of time I opted for a glue gun. This SUPER cool temp glue gun (you have to buy special glue sticks but they are not expensive) eliminates the worry over burns! But like I said, tape works too. We have some magnet sorting in our science station

1-2-3 Come Do Some Water Cycle Activities With Me Evaporation, condensation & precipitation is quite a mouth full of science vocabulary, for a child to wrap their head around. With that in mind, I designed 3 super-simple, quick, easy & fun water cycle craftivities, which will be featured here on the blog, along with today's FREEBIE. First up is a "flip-the-flap" cloud. Children cut out their two cloud pattens, then color the “cover” cloud, and snip on the dashed lines. They fold the top tab up, then glue just that section to the top of their “explanation” cloud underneath. Easy-peasy! I’ve included a template with the information filled in, as well as a blank pattern, if you want your students to write up their own descriptive definitions for the 3 stages of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation & precipitation. When everyone is done, review as a whole group, then have students partner up and take turns sharing their completed project with each other. The next fun way to practice the water cycle is with a cool crown. My Y5s absolutely LOVE making and wearing them. I've also included a simple chant, which will make learning and saying those 3 big science terms super-fun! The packet includes: * 5 different crown options for your students to choose from. * Each style comes with 3 options.: 1).There are black & white graphics representing the water cycle, so that children can color them, 2). as well as a blank crown, should you want your students to draw their own pictures, 3). along with full color, so that teachers can quickly and easily make an example to share. You can leave the crowns as is, or add the "word strips”, which further reinforce the vocabulary, as students trace & write the words. The strips add a “dingling dangling” effect, that your students will truly enjoy. I’ve also included graphics to add to the end of the strips for more bounce, added pizzazz, and further reinforcement of the 3 parts of the water cycle. When everyone has completed their crown, parade around the room chanting the water cycle. I’ve included an anchor chart, plus pocket chart cards to help explain the vocabulary, as well as directions & motions for the chant. If your students are like mine, they will beg to “Please do it one more time”…. Finally, since a cycle is a circle, that continues to go 'round & 'round like a wheel, I decided to reinforce that concept by making a "Raindrop Water Cycle Wheel" craftivity. There are 3 raindrop "covers" to choose from, plus blank templates so students can draw & write their own graphics. There are several “wheel” options, which come with and without words, should you want your students to label their own. Blank patterns are also included, so that older students can illustrate their own water cycle “pie sections”. There is a 3-part water cycle option: evaporation, condensation, & precipitation; as well as a 4-sectioned wheel that adds “accumulation” to the cycle. Simply pick which one is appropriate for your students, then “print & go!” Use the anchor chart posters to introduce and explain the water cycle, and the song: “The Water Cycle Goes ‘Round & ‘Round” for more fun reinforcement. Today's featured FREEBIE is an "I Love You" writing prompt. I found this idea in various print forms on a variety of sites and Pinterest, so I'm not sure where the original idea came from. However, instead of making an 8x10 print to frame, I thought it would be perfect to design some cards, bookmarks and magnets, which children could make in school for various holidays: Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, or Grandparent's Day. I hope you find it useful. Well that's it for today. Thanks for stopping by. The rain has decided to leave us alone for awhile, so time to get out and enjoy the wonderful sunshine. It's still chilly, only 58 degrees here in Michigan, but hopefully the sun will warm things up. Wishing you a fun-filled and relaxing day. .

As you are going to discover, I adore foldables. Many of my postings will show the foldables I use in my classroom. Here is my model for plant parts. To create it, a regular sheet of copy paper (or in the case of my model, cardstock) is folded in half, hotdog (or lengthwise) style. Cut marks are made every 2 3/4 inches, but don't cut it yet, as it will make drawing the flower more difficult. Using these marks, draw a flower in the top section, making it large enough to fill the space. In the next section down, you will need to draw a leaf or two and a bud. The following section is the easiest--just continue the stem and establish the ground line. In the bottom section, draw roots. For my example, I drew fibrous roots because these are the roots my students most easily recognize. Color your image and label the parts. Now, you are ready to cut the sections apart. Inside, using the cuts as a guide, my students and I fill out the information needed for each plant part, in particular the job of the part. We fill all this out together to ensure students have complete and accurate information. Once the foldable is ready, students use them to study from and to self test. Tip: reluctant artists may find free hand drawing a flower intimidating. While I encourage them to try to do it on their own, I do have traceable images they can use if the stress of drawing is too great.

Middle School 6-8th Grades Science Fair Project Ideas
In sixth grade students needed to know about the structure of plant leaves. As I was reading I was thinking it might be fun to do an interactive cut out of a leaf that students have to engage with (hoping this might help them remember all the parts they needed to). This was a lot of work and if I was teaching sixth grade again I might modify the assignment. However, it did give me some experience with interactive cutouts. In this assignment I precut a leaf on green cards stock (sturdy). Then students taped the stem to the book using clear packaging tape. I had precut out the bubble wrap (probably wouldn't use that again due to the popping distraction) to serve as the stomata. In the middle of the leaf student used a clear candle to wax up the area to serve as the cuticle. The top part students had to draw tiny chloroplast cells. Underneath the leaf the students had to draw something guarding the plant to indicate the guard cells (students drew guard dogs, guns, soldiers, you name it...I wasn't too picky as long as they could associate their picture with the function of the guard cells. They then had to label all the parts and explain what function they served. I have not tried interactive cut outs with my elementary students yet...nothing has sort of lent itself to it in our curriculum but feel that students could easily handle a toned down version.

Hello 8th graders, Because we are human and humane, we will be doing a virtual frog dissection today. If you would like to read about the plight of frogs in the world and some discussion of why it is best to go with virtual dissection, try here: http://pcrm.org/research/edtraining/dissectionalt There are many more, but this is concise and factual. YOU WILL NEED YOUR HEADPHONES. To begin today's lab, you will visit the following link and work your way through the exercise, one video and page at a time. Some of the information is probably known to you. When you get to the virtual exercise, do it! http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/genbio/virtual_labs/BL_16/BL_16.html If you want to feel like you've really poked around inside a dead frog, try this link: http://www.biologycorner.com/worksheets/frog_alternative.html It uses a real frog for the demonstrations. There will be a frog quiz tomorrow, so be sure to take notes on structures and procedures. Have fun!
