Series vs. Parallel Circuits PowerPoint Animation
This is an original PowerPoint animation that demonstrates the different between a series circuit and a parallel circuit. It shows both the standard circuit symbols, as well as pictures, complete with batteries, light bulbs, and wires. The animation shows what happens when a bulb is removed from each circuit, demonstrating that a complete loop (circuit) is necessary in order for current to flow. The slides can be modified if the user wishes to add more bulbs, etc. Thanks! Michael Guarraia

Mind Games book report project
Mind Games by Jeanne Marie Grunwell is a fantastic fictional novel written as a scientific journal from the point of view of a group of 7th grade students. It explores the scientific process and has a character every student can relate to. It's funny, emotional and most importantly scientifically sound (although the topic of their study is ESP- the author does a good job at remaining objective). It's a quick read- I love to do it right before Christmas Break or after end-of-year testing. I a

Dichotomous Key Rubric: Science Button Classification Project
This is a fun, hands on activity that I use with my 6th grade science students every fall. I give each student 10 different buttons (in a snack-sized baggie) and they create a Dichotomous Key from their 10 buttons. This is the rubric I use for assessing their final project.

How to catch a leprechaun, science experiment
My kindergartners have LOVED this project. We have been having "Landon the Leprechaun visit us at night "messing up" our classroom.
