This is a visual survey based on aspects of Howard Gardener's Multiple Intelligences I made for my ESL students to be used at the beginning of the school year. Given a language barrier it was a great tool that gave me insight into how my students like to learn, what materials they like to use, and what their favorite part of school is. While I used this survey for ESL, I feel it can be used for any mainstream/ESL grade level in the primary grades Each student completes the survey by either circ

This is a cut and paste sheet I used when my students compared a live Goldfish and a Goldfish Cracker.

This is my "Melting Crayons" experiment. Students will be shown 3 different forms of crayons: Crayon shavings, broken crayon pieces, and a whole crayon. Each form of crayon should be placed between a folded piece of wax paper, then pressed on with an iron for a number of seconds, no more than 20-30. Ideally the whole crayon will take the longest to melt, while the shaved crayon will melt the easiest. The idea is to get an understanding of what heat energy can do, but also to see which form of c

***As of 9/28/14 this version has been updated to include the names of the stages of the life cycle of the star.

This is a STEM based activity where they students had to work in teams to design and build a tower that can support a beach ball. There was certain criteria that they had to follow, and they also had to keep track of how much money they spent on their materials. I gave out the tape and paper, and everytime someone from a team came to get more materials, they had to keep track of it on the recording sheet. After viewing the PPT, each student got to make a design and then each team decided which
