In this reading game, students will jump a character as it runs through an obstacle course. If the student misses a jump, a text structure reading question will appear. If the student answers the question correctly he/she will be able to continue. The question is missed, the character loses a try. Three tries lost, ends the game. After every mile the speed increases. The goal is to run 10 miles without missing three questions. Structures asked about are: Sequence, Compare and Contrast, Problem/Solution, Cause/Effect, Description, Chronology/Timeline
This animated video describes the formation of minerals particularly the mineral quartz and how that quartz becomes sand. The video will discuss the concepts of mineral formation, sand dune formation, river deposition, and erosion.
In this video you will actually get a chance to see how old your ears are. This video does an excellent job explaining the science behind it as well as actually demonstrating this scientific concept to your students and yourself. See how old your ears are.
This video does an excellent job explaining the answer to the question, "How small is an atom? It compares an atom to the size of a grapefruit and a blueberry. It is amazing to visualize just how small atoms really are.
If you happen to be teaching about atomic structure, this might help your students understand this particular scientific concept.
For most of history, scientists weren't quite sure why our hearts were beating or even what purpose they served. Eventually, we realized that these thumping organs serve the vital task of pumping clean blood throughout the body. This video investigates how it all works by taking a closer look at the heart's highly efficient ventricle system.
Students will practice rounding to the nearest 100. There are number lines to give a visual if they need them. Also, there are two elapsed time review questions.
Students will practice rounding numbers to the nearest 10. Two number lines are included for reference as well as two elapsed time problems for students to practice.
In this addition and comparing numbers math game, students will have an opportunity to reinforce their greater than, less than, and equal to fluency. This is a game where students will roll dice, write those numbers down, add them up, and then compare them to see who has the better shot to score a goal. Once they play 8 rounds they will add up their total wins and those of their partner and then compare the two numbers to see who won the game.
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.
