In this EdTech Earth Science activity, students will use Google Drawing to create an image that demonstrates the three main types of earthquake faults, Transverse, Normal, and Reverse. They will find 2 real images of each type of fault. They will draw arrows pointing in the direction that the forces, shear, compression, and tension are moving on each image. They will also find and add an actual diagram of each type of fault. Finally, students will label the hanging wall and footwall on each image except for the transverse/strike-slip.

Bill Nye said that the Joy of Discovery is awesome.  It is the joy of discovery that makes every human being a scientist.  We explore, test, hypothesize ,and form conclusions.  Watch this video with your students to see if they agree with what was said.  The images and videos attached to this video are beautiful.

In this one-day activity students will read and learn about the different types of landforms that are out there. They will then, as groups, create a Google Doc and create a table within it. They will find examples, describe the origins, and find an image that represents, coastal plains, interior plains, folded mountains, upwarped mountains, fault-block mountains, volcanic mountains, and plateaus. After they are done students will share some unique discoveries that they have made with the class and compare them with their discoveries with those of others.

This is a simple version of Snakes and Ladders.  I use this with my 3rd-grade students as one of many game boards they can choose from when using game cards.  This Snakes and Ladders is in the style of St. Patricks Day.

This is the rubric I use to grade each student's science experiment that they present to the class.

Tutorial on using jeopardylabs.com which is a great way for teachers to create a realistic Jeopardy game that is fun for students. On a personal note, this Jeopardy game creator is by far the best and customizable I have every used.

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.

In this science lab, students will gain a pretty good understanding of what mass, volume, and density are. They will digitally change the volume of objects, weigh different object masses, and calculate the densities of each object. Students will use the computer and the Phet Simulation software to complete this lab.

This science lab can be used in any of the science disciplines because it is going to help students learn how to read a meter tape. Students will learn what the Magnus Effect is and how to demonstrate the Magnus Effect by "flying" a hollowed-out "Bic" pen across the classroom. Students will also learn how to create a spreadsheet and then add a formula that will automatically calculate the average of their pen flight distances. I use this lab at the beginning of the year to get students excited about science as well.

This video discusses symbiotic relationships. It does a great job detailing the relationships between symbiotic organisms, mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. As part of the discussion, the symbiotic relationship of the clownfish and sea anemone is explored.
