In this Earth Science activity, students will gain a better understanding of what gases the atmosphere is made out of. Students will need to work some math problems out, converting percents and decimal places to determine ppm, parts per million. Students will gain an understanding that greenhouse gases make up such a small amount of the atmosphere, but are extremely important in keeping the temperature balance in check.

In this game, students will destroy aliens and space junk.  If they get an alien, they have to answer a context clues question.  If they miss, they lose a life.  How many aliens can they hit? If space junk hits the ship, students will be given a multiplication question to answer.

In this Earth Science or Physical Science lab, students will gain an understanding of the three types of thermal energy transfer: conduction, radiation, and convection. Students will use hot, cold, and room temperature water to demonstrate convection by using food coloring. Students will then see how long chocolate chips take to melt when you add heat to just one side of some tin foil. Finally, they will use heat lamps, thermometers, and dark and light-colored papers to demonstrate radiation and the absorption of radiated heat.

In this lab students design and experiment that will oxidize a penny. The purpose of this lab besides demonstrating chemical weathering is to assess how well students are understanding the scientific method as well as their ability to think outside the box by taking content knowledge and applying it in a lab situation. I stand back from this lab to see how well students perform. Students will observe their pennies each day until their pennies are dry or for 3 or more days, depending on how they set up their design.

Teachers can use this clock image generator to custom design a clock and then save the image to use in your presentation about clocks or time.  There are many variables that a teacher can manipulate to generate multiple clocks.  Once finished with each clock click the share button.

Student will reinforce their knowledge of similes and metaphors.

In this game, students will practice understanding character traits based on short passages about characters.  They will also learn the difference between character traits and feelings, and physical traits.  Students drive a tank to rescue survivors and get medals.

Students will follow a storyline as they seek ghosts that match the character traits of the plot

Third-grade reading game for students who need to practice and reinforce the Author's Purpose as well as reinforce their multiplication skills. Students will collect all the jewels in 15 minutes.  If a bee stings the student, the student will need to answer a multiplication math fact.  If a student collects a Jewell, he/she will need to answer the author's purpose for writing the passage. Persuade, Inform, Entertain, PI

In this activity, students will partner up. They will each get a single die. They will record their first roll on the worksheet. Then roll it again and multiply it by 10. Next, they will find the product of their first roll times their 2nd roll which was multiplied by 10. Finally, students will find the sum of all of their products. The player with the highest sum wins the game.
