Using YouTube


I have found videos related to the material that are non-traditional get my students' attention. For example, this video is part of a series that can be found on YouTube about survival of the fittest and the importance of drinking milk. It was a fun way to start class and review the terminology in the evolution unit like "fitness" and "natural selection".

At a MNSTA conference I went to last month, I learned how to download websites. All you need to do is type the phrase "kick" in the address bar before "youtube.com" and it will bring you to another site to download it for free. It's nice to keep out the advertisements and for schools that have blocked YouTube on the Internet.

Nitrogen and Carbon Cycle Foldable

I was inspired to create foldables for my 6th graders on the carbon and nitrogen cycles after viewing one created by the blog " The Inspired Classroom ".  She had created a much cuter one for the water cycle.  Please forgive my pictures, descriptions, and handwriting. :)     If you would like a free copy of the nitrogen foldable or carbon foldable , you can find it at My Teachers Pay Teachers.

Biomes Foldable

I had way too much fun making this.  My students are going to be learning about these biomes next and I created this example of the finished product and one with the pictures/words without the cuts.  I photocopied the sheet and shrunk it to 75%.  The students will cut it out, fold down the extra space on the left side, and glue it in their notebooks.  Underneath each tab, they will write characteristics of the biomes. I am clearly on a foldable kick!  Thank you snow days. :) I did create a digital version of this for you to download on my Teacher Pay Teachers. It's free!
