Discover the Fascinating Tales of Skip the Squirrel: Three Engaging Perspectives

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.

Students will answer 20 questions based on bar graphs or pictographs.  The last three questions have the students create a pictograph based on a bar graph.

This document contains two passages comparing the advantages and disadvantages of young students owning a cell phone.  The second page contains a 5 paragraph sample essay on why students should own cell phones.

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.

Students will measure common objects to the nearest inch and then input them in a table.  Or you can just use the table with common objects.  Once they have the data, they will use a number line divided into quarters and create a line plot.  When finished they will answer some questions based on the line plot.  Answer key is provided.

Students will practice measuring objects to the nearest quarter inch.  They will also analyze line plots.  This is designed to reteach the concept for those students who are struggling.

Students will practice measuring objects with quarter-inch measurements.  They will also practice creating line plots based on measurements and tables.

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.
