Google Drawings: How do I add a Google Drawing to a Google Doc?
In this tutorial you will see how easy it is to add a Google drawing into a Google doc.
Physical Science: Laser light makes sound wave patterns visible
I built my own laser light sound visualizer. Using a tone generator and multiple tones you can create some awesome light patterns. We showed this to all of our physical science classes. The excitement of our classes was pretty cool. Many students stopped to take pictures of the oscillator and talked about building their own. The cost of the contraption was hardly anything, just the laser light.
Classroom Timer 2 minutes (Gentle Stream)
Gentle stream classroom timer. Add a soft soothing sound to your classroom timer with this babbling brook. A siren sounds at the end.
Classroom Timer 30 seconds (Water Rapids Sound)
Enjoy nature while timing your students work. This is a 30-second timer to the beautiful sounds of water rapids in Arizona. Then the end has a submarine alarm sound.
Classroom Timer: 90 seconds: Waterfall with a Splish Splash ending
Use this time to time your students or anybody else to the sounds of a waterfall along Silver Creek in the White Mountains Arizona. The time is up sound is the intro to Splish Splash.
Interactive Review Reading Log--Monday to Friday
Image
This is an activity-based reading log.
My idea behind this type of reading log is threefold.
1. Keep track of the books that students are reading and the time they are reading each day.
2. Practice a skill, based on reading, writing, and science standards as well as a review of previously taught standards to add more practice.

Using Atmospheric Pressure to Crush a Can Lab Sheet
Image
In this Earth Science lab, students will crush a soda can using atmospheric pressure. This is a common science experiment with a twist. In this version, students will calculate the total air pressure found on the outside of the can. The kids will take the surface area formula of a cylinder and find out about how many pounds of air is sitting on top of and around the can. This lab also attempts to incorporate math into a science class.

Understanding How a Barometer Works with High and Low Pressure Systems
Image
In this Earth Science lab, students will create their own homemade barometers using a canning jar, a balloon, and a straw. The barometers can show low and high-pressure systems. After they build their barometers, students will complete a daily log, by measuring the height differences of their barometers. They will determine rising and falling barometers. Students will also observe the weather that is currently outside.
