In this sand dune activity, students will have the opportunity to explore five different types of sand dunes: barchan, parabolic, star, transverse, and longitudinal (seif).

This Sand Dune Lab worksheet offers a hands-on experience in understanding different sand dune types and their characteristics. By creating sand dune models and answering related questions, students will deepen their knowledge of these geological formations and their connection to wind patterns.

Introducing "The Mad Scientist Game," an exciting and interactive review activity designed to make studying for tests enjoyable and engaging for students. This game is perfect for teachers looking for a fun way to review concepts and vocabulary with their classes. With simple rules and an element of competition, students will have a blast while reinforcing their knowledge.

Students will find vocabulary that deals with metamorphosis.  I use this when teaching 3rd-graders about how caterpillars turn into butterflies.

This image was designed to demonstrate how sandstone ends up as gneiss, a metamorphic rock.  It follows the sequences of: sandstone, quartzite, shale, slate, phylite, schist, and gneiss.

In this assignment, students will open up a Google Doc, you can have it printed as well, and fill out a table of some very useful industrial ores. The ores that will be researched are diamonds, gold, rock salt, bauxite, iron, and titanium. Students will research which 3 countries in the world are the top producers of each ore. They will then find and write 2 or more industrial uses for each ore. As they are doing their research, students will also use a map and mark where these countries are. This is great to reinforce the geography standards.

This is a worksheet I use with my students when they are reading in the scholastic news.  It is designed to reinforce some of the reading standards that they need to know.

This is a scientific method lab sheet geared to merge a science experiment with grammar by using complete sentences.

Students will have fun researching 5 unique mammals that are funny-looking and just plain strange. Students will discover some interesting facts about each one, learn how to copy and paste a picture into a Google doc document, and some of the mammals' locations.

The mammals are the Javan Rhino, the Cuban Solenodon, the Pygmy Possum, the China Baiji, and the Echidna.

This is a really interesting video about Henry Ford.  Most of the film come from the Henry Ford film collection so the film is authentic.  There are elements of this video that allow the viewer to peak into Henry Ford's personal and professional life.

This video explores the majesty of some of the diverse landscapes in Arizona.
