When introducing your interjections to your language arts class, this video by Schoolhouse Rock would be a fun one to show. This song will probably put the word interjections into their long term memories.
This is an interactive digital glacier lab that will help students understand what glaciers are, what some of the formations and deposits look like, and will have students explore how glaciers grow and shrink, and how scientists go about discovering glacial movement speeds over time as well as finding out how scientists come up with the numbers of how long glaciers will last at current rates. Students will actually be the scientist discovering the rate of speed as they build their own interactive glacier using Phet. You will need computers that can run Java.
In this 3rd through 10th-grade lab, students will observe the formation of salt crystals. Students will also add food coloring to their dissolved salt solution to demonstrate how chemical impurities can change a mineral's color. If you have enough students doing the lab your class will get to see many different results. This Earth Science lab comes with the student work, student image sample results, and with my own insights and explanations as to how the experiment can work well.

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 Google Drawing activity, students will create a concept map using the following words: Earth Science, geology, waves, currents, astronomy, oceanography, stars, volcanoes, planets, meteorology, fossils, weather, climate, rocks galaxies, thunderstorms, tides, tsunamis, lightning, comets, minerals, asteroids, tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes.
Use this assignment to help students understand the difference between a mineral and other objects that they might think are minerals. The activity doesn't take long but when you are discussing what a mineral actually is, this assignment gives your students practice. Students have a list of words that they need to sort into columns. One column is for minerals, the other column is for non-minerals. If they place an object into the non-mineral section they need to justify which rule was broken.
For those teachers who use publisher to create worksheets and activities for their classroom, you may be interested in this #edtech tip. This tech tutorial will demonstrate how to take the background out of an image so that you can place your pictures closer together in MS Publisher.
Using the Choice Eliminator Addon in Google forms you can create a digital method of signing up parents for Parent-Teacher Conferences. As parents sign up, the choice is eliminated so it doesn't show for the next parent.
This Educational Technology Tutorial demonstrates how teachers can use LightShot or any other screen capture software to quickly and easily add images, parts of images, text and whole questions into a worksheet that can be used by teachers in the classroom. This EdTech tip will save teachers time when building homework, worksheets, reviews and assessments.
Just came upon this cool Educational TechTip. I have been sharing documents with my students for years and always having them create copies. This tech tip will demonstrate how to save your students a step or two when creating a copy of a specific Google Doc, Sheet, or Presentation. I also tout creating tinyurls so that students don't have such long URLs to try and type correctly.
