Continental Drift and Fossils Video Tutorial

Fossils are a pretty fascinating geological phenomenon. Having some evidence of how things were from millions of years ago is pretty amazing. Fossils help us understand what plants and animals used to look like, as well as the different species that existed in the ancient past. Fossils also provided evidence of another phenomenon, which may be just as important as the fossil remains. When archaeologists found similar fossils thousands of miles apart on different continents, this helped scientist

Volcano Video Tutorial

One of the most iconic natural phenomena on Earth is a volcanic eruption. Humans have always been in awe of volcanoes and for a good reason. Their destructive capabilities are fearsome, whether from the lava flow or the ash cloud that can reach for miles. Stories and myths from thousands of years ago center on the destructive capability of volcanoes. Yet, for all their destructive power, we live on them! Volcanoes bring nutrient-rich matter, which changes soil composition. After the destruction,

Infection Video Tutorial

The battle between pathogens and the immune system is epic and dynamic. When our immune system is working well, we pay little attention. It is not until we are sick that we realize how important our immune system is for fighting off foreign invaders. Students typically understand that the immune system fights off pathogens. Still, students can be easily confused about the differences between bacteria and viruses. What better way to understand pathogens than to become them in a game?This Infectio

Land and Water Forms Video Tutorial

An iconic material in the lower elementary classroom is the land and water forms material. Whether they are made on cards, tablets, or even three-dimensional pieces that water can be poured into, they are attractive and pleasing to the student. I love how this material elegantly shows the inverse relationships between land and water forms. This inspired me to make a lesson highlighting this idea within a fun and engaging game. This game will reinforce the names of the different land and water fo

Fourth Great Lesson - Invention of Language Game Video Tutorial

Introduction: The fourth Great Lesson is the Invention of Language. This game will demonstrate how much more effective and efficient humans are when they use language to work together. Before language, one would think that early humans primarily relied on non-verbal communication like pointing. However, as simple words were created, likely, it didn't take long for an explosion of language to come soon after. Languages, as well as math, are the cornerstones on which civilizations were built.

Energy Balance Soccer

One of the hallmarks of understanding metabolism is the idea of “calories in, calories out,” which is the concept behind energy balance. While there is much more to understanding human nutrition, this is and will always be the foundation. The idea of energy balance is that the body uses a certain amount of calories daily for biological functions, exercise, growth, and repair. Energy requirements are met by consuming food. The balance of energy consumed and used is referred to as energy balance.

Fifth Great Lesson: Invention of Math Video Tutorial

Imagine early humans first using math. Before any type of calculation could happen, humans needed to invent the concept of counting. The earliest form of counting was probably the repeated use of one. It may have been picture-based that represented something. For example, a repeating picture of a bison head would mean that each picture of the bison head represented an actual living, breathing bison that the early human was observing. Using symbols would be a gigantic leap forward in cognition a

Angle Wall Ball Video

Many students are familiar with the game “Wall Ball.” The game involves one player who throws a tennis ball off the wall, and the other players try to catch the ball in the air or off the bounce. If someone catches it, they throw the ball, and the other players try to catch it again. However, suppose a player (player one) fails to catch the ball, and it touches them. In that case, player one must run to the wall and touch it before another player can pick up the tennis ball and throw it against

Hunting and Gathering Video

When studying humans, one of the major lessons is that all humans have the same fundamental needs. Still, they can be fulfilled in different ways. For example, everyone requires shelter, but those shelters have looked very different depending on the era or environment. Everyone wears clothing, but that clothing can look very different depending on climate and decoration. Everyone requires food, but there are a variety of styles of cooking, as well as different plants and animals available for co

Hunting Bison Video

This game is two games in one! This game simulates some of the elements of hunting wild game, enormous animals like bison. Early human hunters were known for channeling their prey through narrow passages, making the targets easier to hit. Once a bison is hit with a spear or arrow(s), the hunters must get much closer to finish off the prey. This was a risky proposition for the hunters. Even though the animal is hurt, it could easily gore and kill a hunter if they are not careful and do not work t

Fungi are some of the most overlooked life forms on the planet, but life, as we know it, would not exist without them. Fungi change our habitat through decomposition, the creation of soil, and nutrient utilization. As a food, fungi have many anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties and can be consumed for many health benefits. Fungi can also adapt to the environment very quickly (and change an environment) and may be part of future solutions concerning climate change. Fungi travel and communicat

Egg Thief Video

Capture the Flag is a childhood favorite, and kids of all ages and backgrounds are typically familiar with the game's rules. Since my students love this game, I needed to make a version connected to the classroom curriculum. When we played this game with small white soccer balls, I couldn't help but think they looked like eggs. This sparked my imagination, and I was inspired to make Egg Thief. When I first began playing this game, I used to say that the students were oviraptors stealing eggs fro

Timeline of Life Relay Race

Humans walk and run, but we can also crawl and cartwheel too. This fantastic variety of movements will help us emulate our favorite animals in this relay race game. Animals move in a variety of different ways depending on what habitat they thrive in. Some leap, others waddle, many are on four legs, and other animals slither; there are a variety of movement patterns. Children are fascinated by animals, and how they move, so they will jump at the opportunity to pretend to be like them when given a

The premise of this game is for the students to understand that it is dangerous for animals when they leave their shelter. There are predators out in the environment looking to eat those animals. In addition, there are natural features of the environment thatcan cause injury and death if not navigated through correctly. However, the animal has to leave the shelter for food. Animals compete for food and resources but do so with significant risk to themselves. The students will play as the apex an

Predator Prey Tag Video

This game is a variation of a classic tag-based game that many students call Sharks and Minnows. Tag games are easy to understand and play but require a particular emphasis on sportsmanship. The instructor will not be able to see every tag made, so the children must manage disputes about whether someone was tagged. The children must be honest with each other for the games to be fun. Being fun to play against means they play by the rules and admit when they are tagged. When a dispute cannot be se

This game is meant to recreate the Montessori experiment demonstrating how smaller pieces combine to make more significant pieces (from particles to stars). This lesson is done with a bowl of water and either small pieces of paper or glitter. The paper or glitter is poured onto the water, which naturally spreads. However, with a little stir, the small, individual glitter pieces start to clump up together. The students will take the place of the glitter in this game. When a student gets tagged, t

Dodgeball is a viral game with students. Students run around, throw and catch dodge balls, and use acrobatic dodging skills to evade their opponent’s tosses. However, adults often cite dodgeball as a game promoting violence and unfairness. Strong throwers picking on the weaker ones, face shots, and non-participating students are why dodgeball is not many adults’ favorite game. So why is there such a great divide between adults and children? Is there a way to bridge the gap? What if we kept the f

How giant are the planets compared to each other? Most people know that Mercury is pretty small. What about Venus? Is it bigger or smaller than Earth? Is Mars about the same size as Earth too? Adults and students alike have lots of misconceptions about the planet's relative size to each other. We also don’t comprehend how much more massive the outer rim planets are. Hopefully, this impressionistic game gives the students the tools to better understand planet size.This game uses basketball and ge
