Two volcano vocabulary activity worksheets. The first one is a 20-word search. The word search contains images of a shield, cinder, and composite volcano. There are some fun volcano puns that encourage reading and are fun to share. The second worksheet is a crossword puzzle containing a word bank with more words than students need. This helps eliminate students counting how many boxes there are for each word.
This web tool can allow teachers to build images that represent fractions of circles/pies or polygons. It is simple to use. Just say how many equal parts you want to be represented and then how many parts to shade. You can also determine the line width, shade color, and rotate the shape. Once finished take a screen show of the picture or right-click and save the image.
Show students how to use protractors and rulers in this interactive website. Teachers can also easily show polygons and quadrilaterals. Shape color size, and angle are easily changed from one shape to another. You can use this shapes website to show interior and exterior angles. Arcs can also be manipulated.
This video is great for a discussion on scientific experimentation and the power of the mind. The video describes 3 different scientific experiments with how thinking about some action can actually develop that action.
Here is a very quick video that will quickly describe "What energy is." It discusses chemical, nuclear, and dark energy.
Students will dive into the world of balancing using levers and fulcrums. Through a virtual simulation called "Phet Balancing Act," students will explore the concepts of balancing masses and manipulating distances from the fulcrum.
If you are a science teacher and don't have a water rocket lab, you should begin. This experiment is the highlight of our year. This is a doc for a higher-end physics class and contains math calculations. Students have restrictions as to rocket design. We launch twice. On the first day, we build, launch, and calculate distances. The next day we do the say, but his time they should be making repairs to see if they can get it to fly further.
In this web research activity, students will research 14 volcanoes via the internet. All of these volcanoes are famous for either their size of eruption or the continuous eruptions that they have. They are famous for causing large tsunamis, huge pyroclastic flows, and lahars, as well as some that might not be so dangerous but have flowed continuously for many years. Students will enhance their geography knowledge by plotting the volcano's location on a plate tectonic map. They will find out when the last eruption occurred.
In this catchy video, students can learn about the different layers of the Earth in a fun and engaging way through song. The video covers the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core while also discussing convection and the supercontinent Pangaea. The animation and visuals help students visualize the layers and the concepts discussed.
In this informative Earth Science video, viewers will learn about the layers of the Earth and how scientists have come to know about them. From the formation of the solar system to the elements that make up the Earth, this video covers a range of scientific concepts such as the atmosphere, convection currents, earthquakes, and density. By the end of the video, viewers will have a greater understanding of the different layers of the Earth and how they work together to create our planet.
