This course provides instructional materials for science teachers in grades 3-5. As you complete each section, copy and save selected links for the Module 6 entry form.
E-Learning for Kids' vision is to be the source for childhood learning on the internet available from anywhere and without charge. Established in late 2004, e-learning for kids is a global, nonprofit foundation dedicated to fun and free learning on the internet for children ages 5 - 12. Follow the link in this module to browse and explore the website.
Science Kids has a range of free online activities about animals, plants, chemistry, biology, physics, space, magnets, electricity, forces, light, sounds, gases or other science related topics. Throughout the year, put your students to the test by trying to complete as many of the interactive challenges as possible. The games start off easy but will be fully testing students' technology skills and understanding of the science behind the game in no time
In this module, you'll browse through interactive games and simulations gathered by weebly. As you think about incorporating these resources into your lessons, remember students may complete 2-3 simulations/activities within a single group rotation. You may also pair simulations with formative assessment probes or other writing and critical thinking assignments.
Hopefully, these modules are beneficial for planning your first six-weeks lessons. The goal is to allow students to learn from a variety of experiences and resources, while you are more available for tiered instruction, rigorous questioning, and ongoing assessmnent. In this module, you'll submit your selected web resources to a googledoc that will be distributed the week of August 17th for collaborative planning.
The "Make Me A Genius" program was originally designed for parents to help their children develop into geniuses. Although the claim has not been proven, the website offers great resources for science classroom instruction.
