As part of our unit on energy in physical science, I had my students build Rube Goldberg machines. I never did figure out how to take really good pictures of their creations. 🙁 But, I want to post these pictures of what my students did come up with to remind me of how things …
My physical science class is currently in the middle of a unit on energy. After discussing the different types of energy that exist, I challenged my students to draw an image that contained at least one example of each of the types of energy we had discussed. This led to some great discussions between my …
I am so blessed to be married to a teacher because my husband doesn’t even bat an eye when I ask him to do things like buy me some six foot long pieces of pipe insulation at Lowe’s. Note to self: pick a non-windy day to try and bring this into the building! Shaun also …
My physical science students are currently studying the different types of energy. One of their in-class assignments was to draw an energy flow diagram for a specific scenario. This mini-project was sort of thrown together at the last moment, so it has the potential to be so much better. It’s definitely on my list …
Teaching a science class this year has me doing more projects than I’ve probably ever done in all my previous years as a math teacher. Setting up projects in an effective way has been a definite learning curve. This week, my students have been working on designing egg drop devices. I had students break into …
