National Wildlife Federation

I was wasting time online this afternoon and discovered some activities and past events from the National Wildlife Federation. They would be a great resource to begin projects in the classroom that are ecology-focused and all about helping our students learn about the local area.

They have an upcoming event in May featuring gardening with and for local flora and fauna.

Google Slides for Class Projects

I used this to create class projects that students are assigned different pieces of a larger topic. This is an easy way to share out what they have found. It can easily be adapted to PowerPoint as well. I have a quick video with an example below.

New Products: Forces and Genetics

I finished my products for the MS-PS2 series on Forces and Motion : MS-PS2 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions Activity Bundle MS-PS2-4 Measuring Impacts (Relationship between Gravity and Mass) : Students test out how impact craters change with objects of different masses. This can be as a class demonstration or a lab. At the end, students reflect on the relationship between gravity, mass, and the force of the different objects in a CER and conclusion questions. MS-PS2-5 Magnetic Field Activity : Students look at magnet interactions when the poles are the same and different. Afterward, they apply their understanding in a CER over Maglev trains or toys. Newer materials for Forces and Motion are my vocabulary game, note sheet , and a review game bundle . And, finally, I added more resources on one of my favorite topics: genetics.
