Convection Currents

My cohort and I realized that our students were scoring low on a question about the relationship between density and temperature on our check point.

I created something similar for the students to draw in their notebooks and we viewed a couple things as we discussed, like this amazing convection current video and this animation of molecules and temperature from Middle School Chemistry.

I think it helped clear up a few cobwebs. We'll find out more over the next week!
I added a free graphic organizer that can be downloaded on my Teachers Pay Teachers account. Please check it out and leave feedback!

Teaching Channel

Another great free resource is the Teaching Channel . I used it when I was looking for ideas on teaching middle schoolers integers. On the website, I found a video and lesson plan for a scenario a teacher set up for her students to make it more tangible. They email weekly with videos on various topics, like common core.

Freebie: Interactive 3D Models

DewWool is a newer store with many free online resources! I found the " Root Structure " diagram and thought it was too good not to share.  This is for you if you need resources for students to label structures. (It also includes math and elementary education resources.) The resources appear to be simple and easy to use. One downfall, because it's free, is there are advertisements. I know this was a concern with the last school I worked at students: viewing unapproved materials via popup ads. Photo by  おにぎり  on  Unsplash
