Constellation Mini Project
This project is about 2-3 days, a quick one for 4-6 graders. They have to choose a constellation, research it by answering the questions, then make a star diagram using star stickers and black construction paper. On one side, they make the constellation as you see it in the sky, on the other, they make the diagram.

Scientific Method Science Experiment Form
This form is for more simple science experiments, however, goes more in depth with the details of the scientific method. This form looks easy, but does take a while to fill out. It can be used with any simple group experiment.

Science Experiment Summary
This is a form that's for when you do those quick, fun, easy science experiments in class. Every Thursday an aide comes in to do a science experiment with the kids, like a quick snapshot activity of a guideline they need to understand. I have them fill this out, simply to help them remember what they did, why it was important, etc. Also, go rent Dispicable Me. It's a great movie and the kids love the minions...

This is a handout used for those grades who make solar ovens to cook cookie dough, smores, quesadillas, etc. There are boxes for 3 experiments, questions about the building of the oven (type in "solar oven" into google if you need instructions), and then at the end there are wrap up questions about what they learned.

101 Gadgets that Changed the World
This inventions activity goes along with the Documentary 101 Gadgets that Changed the World produced by the history channel. You can buy it at www.historychannel.org or through amazon. It is very quick and funny, but best of all very highly engaging for kids and sparks excellent conversation so they understand life before the gadget that was invented. I use this to check off the INVENTIONS guidelines I have and then follow it up with the inventions essay the kids have to write. I highly sug

BILL NYE SCIENCE EXPERIMENT GRAPHIC ORGANIZER
This is a simple graphic organizer made out of text boxes that my 3rd grade students use to show their learning when watching one of his videos. You can access his videos on Netflix, or on youtube, and they're great for a time filler or when you need a way to teach a tougher concept. Students simply answer the following questions: Title of today's topic, 3 experiments he did, 4 things he wanted to teach us, and 3 crazy facts you learned". It's basically a way for Bill to get his point across

Inventions Class Project
This project is created to use up time, but also to have groups work together to create a poster board book of an invention per month. Students will independently research an invention by month (ie some product created in January) and will then make a poster about the facts, and then all 12 posters will be added together to create a book. Be creative with splitting up groups if you have a crazy large class. Students do need time to research their month of inventions before they are able to wo

Can you fool a plant?
I use a lot of activities from the Mailbox, but this is one every year that I feel like The Mailbox doesn't do a good enough job with documentation. So, this activity is to go along with the experiment where you take a bean, put it in paper towel, and watch it grow, then turn it upside down to see if you can fool it.
The document is for students to fill out their observations. They write about what the bean looks like initially, and then document every time there is a significant change. The

Teaching style
I am a teacher who will give kids the road map, but they have to do the learning. I am big on group projects, individual projects, peer teaching, active learning, and 21st century learning is one of my specialties.
Awards & shining teacher moments
2010 Teacher of the Year Nominee, Nobel Learning Communities.
Field Day Director (we've been on the news, and in the newspaper twice)
Additional biographical information
I love to create. I've taught for a long time, and I am still revamping things to make them more fun, and more interesting to the kids. I am very excited to be apart of this website, as we all know that teachers are HIGHLY underpaid for their time in the industry...
All of my docs are in pdf format because I am a freak about great fonts. If you buy my product, but need it edited, please email me and I will email you the word doc (but it will come out with gerbally fonts that can easily be fixed).
