Pass the Blood Cell

I found this awesome activity here and modified it for my classroom. It is one of my favorite ways to review because it requires so little to prepare and one material while engaging the whole class.

I change the rules a little to allow the person who starts with, in my case a red blood cell, to choose what direction they want to pass it around the circle. Since I teach middle school, I make it a little more competitive by having the person up sit down if they don't answer the question in time. We play until there are only two left! (To engage those sitting down, I ask them to come up with review questions by looking through their books, notes, and study guides.)

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
