Working through states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases
This unit on states of matter is designed to push students to integrate other science knowledge. Use of common home items helps to increase familiarity. Solids are taught with the addition of angle of repose, and reproducible protractors are included to enable measurements in the classroom. Students are given a checklist approach to help with confusing materials, such as baby powder. Lesson sheets lay out the material and worksheets follow the lessons. Individual worksheets are designed so that

Fractions practice - reducing to lowest terms
This series of three worksheets is designed to help students learn to reduce fractions to lowest terms. It uses realistic word problems and pictures to represent various fractions not in lowest terms and to help show the equivalence. It demonstrates equivalence of small-denominator fractions (sixteenths, eighths, quarters, halves) using a bar broken into congruent portions. It contains worked examples and problems for students to work on their own. It can be used as remediation or enrichment. Pr

Teaching style
I believe in extensive experiential learning. However, I also believe we teach by showing, modeling, and explaining. We have to give students opportunities to make mistakes so we can find their errors and we have to let them puzzle over problems so they are ready for answers. I have bits of Montessori, humanist, and constructivist in my style. I believe that writing across the curriculum is critically important and should begin as soon as students can read and write. I like project-based learning, but I believe it needs to be structured and guided so that it does not turn into a craft project.
