'Real Life' vs 'Real Silly' Sorting Work
Dr. Maria Montessori discovered during her research of little children that they were very naturally curious about real life. Children love taking in information about the world around them. They do not need all kinds of make believe, magical, or cartoon like things to keep them entertained. Reality is good enough! She even discovered that made up things could cause confusion in children who are learning about what is real. This work has been created to help "sort things out" for the young c

Energy Transformation Practice: Reviews Types of Energy and Energy Transfers!
I've done this activity from 7th through 12th grades and it's always entertaining to see what they come up with. Since they're not actually building it, they can really think out of the box (ex- nuclear energy and thermal energy become popular). I usually do this after a lesson on energy and then I will show then the OK Go, "This Too Shall Pass" video as that is the ultimate contraption to model (in my opinion). You may also wish to show them Rube Goldberg examples. Or, modify a bit and simply u
