In this activity, students will use Google Earth to find the coordinates of some awesome Geologic Formations. Students will have a greater understanding of latitude and longitude. They will gain an understanding of how to use Google Earth to make discoveries. A link to a presentation that contains images and the geology behind many of the formations is also available. There are two parts to the assignment. First students will type in the coordinates into Google Earth to make a discovery.

In this Earth Science lab, students will crush a soda can using atmospheric pressure. This is a common science experiment with a twist. In this version, students will calculate the total air pressure found on the outside of the can. The kids will take the surface area formula of a cylinder and find out about how many pounds of air is sitting on top of and around the can. This lab also attempts to incorporate math into a science class.

In this activity, students will engage in a topographic map exercise. When a student is finished they will understand what contour lines, elevation, contour interval, contour index, and quadrants are. Students will analyze a map of Snowflake AZ, you can pick your own map if you wish, and discover why it is important to understand topographic maps.

This educational website does a great job with it's analog and digital clock.  You can change the clock to real time.  You can roll a dice to get a random time on the clock.  You can actually change the mode and use the clock's hands to demonstrate angles and fractions.  The clock's style and color can also be changed. You can also change the style of the tick marks that go around the clock which makes it easier for students to view, when you are demonstrating different times.  

This website provides great student whiteboard activities for elapsed time.  There are two clocks that are completely changeable so that you can ask students what the elapsed time is.  I use the dice frequently because it provides completely random times.  You can hide one clock  and then give how many hours before or after that specific time and now your students have to either draw the time they calculate it to be and then unhide the clock so students can verify their calculations.  

In this science video, Veritasium does a fantastic job interviewing the public to see if they know what it actually means to be a solid, liquid or a gas.  It is fun to watch people try to remember from their schooling what the scientific answer is.  This would be a great video to show when introducing 3 of the 4 states of matter to your chemistry or physical science students.

I use this digital geoboard with my 3rd grade students when teaching shapes.  I have students do their best to create, 2d shapes like triangles, right triangles, pentagon, hexagon, octogon, kite, square, rhombus, and rectangles.  When we are done with learning the shapes, students create their own image on the geoboard.  There are many variables that students and teachers can use when creating their shapes like, rubber band color, size of geoboard, add grid, fill in each shape to count area and perimeter, and add text.  Once finished you cna click the share button to gen
