Ms Elley's Classroom

Science Analogies are a perfect warm-up to start your science lesson! They are also a great science station. Both applications will elicit deep thinking about science concepts and will force students to make connections to help them remember what they have learned. I used science analogies as a warm-up in my 5th grade science classroom. We played the "ticket game" to get students to think of multiple answers. Our school-wide reward system was tickets, so every new answer that was defended

I use this product with a lesson in which I teach about various forces and motions (inertia, motion, forces, and friction). We learned what these words mean and then did an experiment by using 3 marbles and a ruler with an indent in the middle (like a mini ramp down the center of it) and a small bathroom sized cup at the end of the ruler. One marble sits at the opposite end and two sit directly in the center of the ruler. Students must make predictions about what will happen when they flick the
