In this activity students are going to find a small rock, decide what rock type it is, weight it, place it in a tumbler and then over a two week period observe it to see how much mass a rock can lose if it went through a 24 hour a day process of bouncing around other rocks. Students will get a first-hand look at the power behind water and abrasion. Students will make a statement of conclusion and calculate the rate of mass decrease.

A third-grade worksheet designed to reinforce rounding numbers to the nearest 10 and nearest 100.  It included 3 word problems, 4 questions using a number line, and a mix of rounding to 10s and 100s.

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 great video that can be used to introduce or review the main ideas and supporting details in a story or paragraph.

This is an activity-based reading log.

My idea behind this type of reading log is threefold.

1. Keep track of the books that students are reading and the time they are reading each day.

2. Practice a skill-based on reading, writing, and science standards as well as a review of previously taught standards to add more practice.

3. To give students an opportunity to interact more with their parents and siblings, through instilling a little more patriotism, awareness of national events and ideas, and learn a little bit of charity and acts of kindness to others.

Students can either label or put the skeleton together in this online activity.  The better they do the higher their score.  They can practice it as man times as they want.

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

This product gives plenty of practice to elementary students who are working at memorizing their multiplication times tables.

In this 3rd grade math activity students partner up. Each has their own paper. They each roll a dice and put the number in the first cell under roll 1. Next they roll again and put the second number under roll 2. They now create a multiplication equation using the 2 dice. They then create a division equation using the two dice. Finally they fill out the fact family triangle. At the end they add up all of their dice and whichever student has the highest sum takes the win.

In this 3rd Grade multiplication word problems worksheet, students will read 4-word problems, sketch a picture of what they are imagining, and then solve it by creating the equations.
