TEACHER DIRECTIONS Purpose: A simulation activity that allows students to see the realize the consequences of not trying to become better at reading and writing. This activity puts students into random socioeconomic groups based on a random number on a die. This number will determine how much money they get to spend on six different areas of their life (house, location where they live, food, entertainment, transportation, and college). Students will have to make some difficult choices based

6 Investigations: How does learning happen? (Based on Brain Rules!)

During the first week of school, before I start digging into inquiry, I like to illuminate how I use brain research in my teaching-- no matter what content or process is. The easiest way to show students the rationale behind everything from homework to dancing about chromosomes is to prove it to them. John Medina wrote a book entitled "Brain Rules" that serves as the basis for this series of investigations. Within each investigation, we explore the inquiry process, look at data from Medina's we

FREEBIE - Templates: Group Generator, Name Chooser, Timer, Activity, ... etc.

This Smart Notebook file contains tools that are helpful to use in managing the classroom. A "Group Generator" tool allows you to generate as many groups as you wish. A "Word Chooser" tool allows you to pick on a student for an answer at random. A "Timer" allows to manage your class time effectively. Different type of timers are also included such as firecracker. Also, for those who are teaching probability, an interactive die, spinner, and card are also available in this template file. Si

Lunar Phases Part 2: Waxing vs Waning and Shifting Perspectives

Rationale: In this visual 2-day lesson, students are challenged to determine what the moon would look like both from our perspective on earth, and also out in space, with a constantly shifting sun. First, students pick apart the words waxing and waning and learn some tricks from the earthly perspective, and practice identifying the moons. Then, they broaden their fields and imagine they are in outer space, watching the moon move and "look" at where the illumination hits now. With step by st

Lunar Phases Part 1

The lunar phases are typically hard for students to learn, mostly because they are really hard to visualize. Thus, I created a simulation using styrofoam balls stuck on pencils to help students see exactly why the moon "changes shape." This lesson focuses on the integration of diagramming, keen observation, and logic. As students rotate, diagram and discuss, they begin to understand how our perspective determines everything. In a later lesson, we explore what the moon looks like from "above" o
