Fraction Comparison – Number Line (Proper + Improper + Mixed) is an interactive, standards-aligned math game that helps students build strong fraction sense by placing fractions on number lines and then comparing them using <, >, or =.
Fraction Comparison – Drawing Edition is an interactive, student-friendly web game that builds fraction sense by combining visual modeling, drawing, and quick decision-making.
Briefcase Bounty: Math Competition is a fast-paced, two-player math showdown where every correct answer unlocks a chance at big money.
Area & Perimeter Tic-Tac-Toe is an interactive, two-player math game that blends classic tic-tac-toe strategy with Grade 3 measurement concepts aligned to 3.MD.C.8. Players take turns selecting an empty square on a 3×3 board, then must correctly solve an area and/or perimeter challenge to earn the right to place their X or O. If a player answers incorrectly (or runs out of time), they do not place a mark and the turn passes to the other player.
In this Earth Science Lab, I have my students design an experiment that determines which sediment type is the most porous and which sediment type is the most permeable. This is a common design that my students come up with. There are others, but this one works well. For the lab, go to https://earthscience.xyz/content/porosity-and-permeability-lab.
In this activity, students get to know Alfred Wegener and why and how he came up with the idea of continental drift and the super-continent Pangaea. Students will complete some internet searches to discover what type of fossils Wegener used to help him come up with his hypothesis. Students will find the time period the fossils lived, which continents they were found on, and describe both the current climate and the climate in which they prehistorically lived. Students will also cut out the Pangaea puzzle and fit the fossils, and rocks together.
NOTE: Make sure your computers can run Java-based software. Inside the preview, you can test the program out by clicking on the first link. This program will not work with Chromebooks as they can't run Java.
Turn your students into meteorologists with this engaging, real-world weather activity!
Move beyond static textbook diagrams and get your students analyzing live data. This comprehensive lesson and lab helps students understand the complex relationships between air pressure, air masses, and weather fronts using current, real-time surface maps.
Perfect for 7th Grade through High School Earth Science, this resource combines literacy, theory, and digital investigation to ensure students master meteorology concepts.
In this activity, students will use Google Earth to find the coordinates of some awesome Geologic Formations. Students will have a greater understanding of latitude and longitude. They will gain an understanding of how to use Google Earth to make discoveries. A link to a presentation that contains images and the geology behind many of the formations is also available. There are two parts to the assignment. First students will type in the coordinates into Google Earth to make a discovery.
