Teaching with TechKNOWLEDGEy

Students learn about the 3 states of matter through making JELLO! Students are able to see the solid, liquid, and gas stage and what it takes for each stage to change! It also integrates the math skill of measurement while students learn about the science skill of matter!

This STEM challenge focuses on plant and animal adaptations, adding and subtracting with regrouping, and writing to persuade. This package includes: -Essential Question - Teacher's Guide -Close Read Article on Adaptations -Close Read article about Pierre the Penguin -Adaptation to Invention Sort (can use as a separate grade) -Notebook pages for each stage of the process (ask, imagine, plan, create, improve) -Green Screen directions -judges rubric for peer evaluation To start this challe

This digital blended learning (DBL) activity is based on the upcoming Total Solar Eclipse that will take place this year. The path of totality will stretch across the United States for a once in a life time experience. This lesson will explore what an eclipse is and have students inquire about the idea of eclipses on other planets. Students will complete a close read article to introduce the content. After reading, students will compare the information in the articles through comprehension ques

Students will understand how the sun creates seasons. Students will use graph paper to show the sun's distance and angle during various seasons. Students will analyze how the sun's position impacts seasons.

Students will learn about physical weathering through this water erosion lab. This lab requires them to measure, graph, and write their reflections.

Practice 2 digit x 2 digit and 3 digit by 1 digit multiplication with this fun, engaging digital pixel sheet! Students will solve 20 multiplication problems. As they enter the correct answer for each equation, colored pixels will appear to create a surprise picture! If the color pixels do not appear when a student enters the answer, they will know the answer entered was incorrect and to try again! This is a great, motivating tool for practice with automatic feedback and self-checking!

This reflection sheet goes along with the picture book, "What's Faster Than a Speeding Cheetah" by Robert Wells. This book is a great tool to use to teach about speed and distance traveled over time. It can also be used as a great introduction to light! Students will use the data found in the text to create a graph. This activity is an integrated lesson; including reading, math, and science!

This student centered lab will require a toy car and measuring tape/meter stick. Students will discover how force impacts the relationship between distance and time. Students will test and record their findings in the table and answer reflection questions.

In this lab, students will discover how friction effects the speed of an object. Students will pair up. While one student runs a specified distance with their shoes, the other student will record. Students will then test their hypothesis without shoes. Students will graph their times and see how friction played a roll in their speed. This is a great, student centered activity that gives them real world examples of the needs for friction! It is also a great integrated lesson that includes math an
