Rock Tumbler Abrasion Lab

In this activity students are going to find a small rock, decide what rock type it is, weight it, place it in a tumbler and then over a two week period observe it to see how much mass a rock can lose if it went through a 24 hour a day process of bouncing around other rocks. Students will get a first-hand look at the power behind water and abrasion. Students will make a statement of conclusion and calculate the rate of mass decrease.

Interactive and Review Reading Log: Friday to Thursday

This is an activity-based reading log.

My idea behind this type of reading log is threefold.

1. Keep track of the books that students are reading and the time they are reading each day.

2. Practice a skill-based on reading, writing, and science standards as well as a review of previously taught standards to add more practice.

3. To give students an opportunity to interact more with their parents and siblings, through instilling a little more patriotism, awareness of national events and ideas, and learn a little bit of charity and acts of kindness to others.

May I take your order please? Money word problems

In this money word problems worksheet, students will add and subtract dollar amounts to find out how much they would spend altogether, how much change they need back and figure out if they have enough money to purchase the items.  There are 8 money word problems in all. 

You can also purchase the Google Doc version of this worksheet through Teachers Pay Teachers.  The Google Doc version allows you to edit the names, money amounts and verbiage to fit your local students.
