Pumpkin Math, Science, and Data Analysis - 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th Grade
My students LOVE this fall activity that is packed with estimation, measurement, and data analysis!

In cooperative groups, students first estimate the height, weight, circumference, and the number of seeds inside all 4-6 pumpkins. Each group then finds the actual measurements for their given pu

Water Bottle Flipping Math and Science: 4th - 6th Grade
My 5th & 6th graders FLIP for this math & science lesson! Students gather data using the scientific method to discover if a 1/3 full or 2/3 full water bottle will result in more upright landings. After writing their hypothesis, students flip water bottles 1/3 full and 2/3 full 20 times for each condition. They create class line plots of their data and find the median, mode, and mean of upright landings for both conditions. After analyzing their results, they write their conclusions. An extension

ZOOM Classroom Rules
These are the ZOOM class rules I created after, like many of you, I was thrown into remote teaching in March 2020.

I hope these are a help to you in your Zoom classes and I welcome any feedback on what should also be added:-)
