Proportions are mathematically hard to visualize, and can be difficult to see how the ratio of one to another impacts the proportions. Proportion Playground is a free sim from PhET that lets you quickly explore proportions. In this activity you'll play with paint balloons, beads and pool tables to see how different proportions relate to each other. Please check that PhET in HTML5 will work on your digital device BEFORE purchasing. Java applets may not work in some browsers.

PhET.colorado.edu is a free site for various simulations (sims) that students can access. Skate Park Basic is a great way to introduce the Law of Conservation of Energy. It demonstrates the relationship between kinetic, potential & thermal energy. At the end you can challenge your students to build a ramp that loops and jumps the skating character. Please check that HTML5 sims will work on your digital device BEFORE purchasing this product. Java Applets may not be supported in some web browser

TinkerCAD is a fun CAD program for students Making a chess set will challenge your design skills in any CAD program. You can watch a full-length tutorial video HERE. V2 is updated to include the Sketch and Revolve Sketch tool for making new designs. This activity includes practice measurement conversion problems to convert inches to cm & mm. In TinkerCAD you'll explore the advanced shape generator library for unique shapes. You can develop your own style of pieces, or challenge your students

I'm developing a program for CNC routing as well as 3D printing. I needed an easy to visualize square and rulers for my students to use on the CNC. I found that students have a hard time telling the difference between 1/8", 1/4" & 1/2", so I added different gradients to this to show each scale. The color scale goes from 1/8th, 1/4 and 1/2". The squares are 7" x 7" with a penny for reference. The three 6" rulers also have the gradient scales and penny for visual reference. The second page has

After a year of working with students as they design object in TinkerCAD, I found that they have difficulty visualizing in mm and cm scale. Students also loose track of the size of the design as they zoom in & out of the scale of the screen. This 190 mm x 250 mm printable square is great for visualizing the size of larger designs for CNC & 3D printing. The color scale helps with visualizing the size of cm. The coins are to scale (Quarter is 24.26 mm, Penny is 19.05 mm, Dime is 17.91 mm) and he

Many 3D CAD programs use mm as the default metric measurement. Unfortunately many students have issues visualizing objects in the mm scale. This set of printable squares can help your students see the final size of their 3D print. This will keep objects within scale and size of most desktop 3D printers. This set of rulers & squares will help your students keep the size of their design in perspective. This set of four 80 mm squares is in mm units. It also includes a color visual scale to help y

This FREE teacher guide walks you though how to set up a class account in TinkerCAD, as well as a login form to help organize your classes. As you have your students design objects for 3D printing, you can pull the files directly from the class account for printing on your schools 3D printers. As a policy I only allow approved files through the class account. Students should only use the class account to create 3D printable files for school work. Do not let students do school work with personal

For science teachers, energy is a hard unit to teach. Hero's Engine shows how energy in converted from one for to another. For this I used the Engine set I found in my storage area, but you can look around or find other engines available in your school district. I did this as a demo, but you can expand it in a chemistry lab. This unit includes all the worksheets that you'll need to study for energy, and can be used to introduce alternative energy. Easel Activity: This is now updated with an Ease

Transform your classroom into an exciting laboratory of sound exploration with our comprehensive "Slinky Sound Unit." This resource takes the fascinating world of sound and makes it come alive for your students by incorporating engaging activities, hands-on experiments, and captivating MythBusters videos.

Make learning about mind-bogglingly large numbers a fun and memorable experience with our "How Big is a Googol? Trillion, Billion, etc. Song." This engaging song resource is designed to captivate students' imaginations while helping them grasp the magnitude of numbers that often seem abstract and incomprehensible. I showed them the video of Helen Arnie's "Googol Song" in class to give them an idea of what I was looking for. Key highlights of the "How Big is a Googol? Trillion, Billion, etc. So

Cornell notes are a great way to introduce new science topics and to develop deeper student understanding. Students can show their level of understanding, which is great for differentiating different levels of students. This file includes examples that I've used in class. This template has worked with administration! The manipulative is great for physics and electricity. You can have students derive formulas for speed, force, Ohm's Law and other formulas in physics.
