Understanding Hearing and Hearing Loss
Do you have Deaf or hard of hearing students who don't understand their hearing loss? Do other students want to know more about a DHH student's hearing?
This PowerPoint is great to help your DHH and hearing students alike learn how our ears work, what sound is, and to understand the different types of hearing loss. This would also be great in a science class on the physics of sound or the anatomy of the ear and the physiology of hearing. You may even choose to use it as an introduction to hear

How to Read Grams (g) and Kilograms (kg) on an Interactive Scale + Sample Lesson
This scale teaches students why sometimes we measure things in grams (g) and sometimes we measure things in kilograms (kg). There is a sample lesson that will help them better understand how to use and read a scale. The teacher can show how to use the scale then provide separate scales in Google Docs for students to play around with or to use as a tool. Made with the Ontario Education Curriculum in mind.

Flight Exploration Introductory Video
This introductory video leads students to begin to explore possible questions they could answer related to the parts of an airplane and the forces of flight.
This video will captivate the attention of your students because it shows an actual flying model in a barrel roll due to aileron movement.
I use aileron movement as my instructional example when describing how moving parts of an airplane can help a pilot use the forces of flight to control the movement of the entire airplane.
Enjoy!
