Comparing the sizes of shapes
Students will compare the size of each pair of shapes. They will color each shape according to the comparison.

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 digital worksheet, students will practice and better gain an understanding of how to use context clues. Students will read a sentence and then define the bolded word. As an add-on, I also have students circle all of the verbs in the sentence. Because it is a Google Doc, the teacher can substitute their own students' names into the worksheet. This makes it more fun and engaging. The student's names are all italicized, and the words that require context clues are all bolded.
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.
In this 3rd Grade worksheet, students will create fractions on number lines. They will label each part of the fraction.
In this Earth Science Earthquake activity, students will explore the USGS current earthquake website. Students will understand what is to be found on the USGS Earthquake website. They will discover how many earthquakes have occurred recently. Students will gain an understanding of what the Mercalli Intensity Scale is used for. Students will discover the 5 largest recent earthquakes that have occurred around the world. They will gain a better understanding of geography as well by using maps and map scales to determine distances from an earthquake epicenter.
