Grades |
| The Autobiography of a Middle School |
6 to 8 |
| The multidisciplinary project would use the Olympus Digital Cameras and Tool Factory Software to help define and build school unity, self-esteem, and culture through student-made pictures, essays, biographies, and art. The final goal of this project will be an autobiographical photo-essay slide show that the student council will present to their peers, parents, faculty, and school board at their eighth grade graduation ceremony. |
| The Bird's Word Video Podcast |
K to 12 |
 (5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Students collaborate in small groups to write a script which explains, demonstrates, and gives examples of a specific part of a large topic (for example, one part of the water cycle). Each group films themselves using Flip Video Cameras and then the parts are assembled into one video which explains the large topic. |
| THE DIGITAL CAT--A PURR-FECT SOLUTON! |
11 to 12 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Anatomy students will make their own dissection manual complete with digital pictures and labels. Each year students will add to the manuals. |
| The Effects of Chemical and Physical Weathering on Gravestones |
5 to 5 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Students will visit the historical Magnolia Cemetery located in Augusta, Georgia to record digital pictures of the effects of weathering and erosion on gravestones.Students will take pictures and, using previously learned chemical and physical weathering concepts learning in class and recorded in their science journals, create a Prezi or a Glogster media presentation. |
| The Emerald Ash is taking over! |
K to 6 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Students research the problem of the invasive Emerald Ash Borer and how it is impacting Vermont's environment. Students then design and engineer a solution that can stop the damage being done by the Emerald Ash Borer. |
| The Five Senses |
K to K |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) •.This unit will focus on the use of the five senses to develop a heightened awareness of the world. Skill development is centered on observing, describing and classifying objects. Students will use their senses to describe objects and identify common properties. Students will develop more refined methods of observation, ability to make more detailed descriptions and an increasing ability to differentiate among similar objects on the basis of one, and then
multiple, characteristics. Describing objects will involve making measurements of various properties and comparing them to other reference points (e.g., a color chart). |
| The Flip Side of Plants and Animals |
K to 6 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Typically, science experiment observation is paper pencil, but with the Flip Video camcorder, students can record their observations on video, allowing them to be extremely detailed and accurate. Using a Flip Video for observation also allows the student to share with others exactly what they saw during the course of an experiment. |
| The Flip Side: A Multi-Genre Occupational Research Project |
7 to 12 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) This lesson will provide students with the authority of the "naked eye" to give way towards finding their own truth, place, and ability to communicate efficiently in a global community. |
| The Food Pyramid |
3 to 3 |
| Students will learn the importance of healthy eating through an understanding of the food pyramid. They will learn what makes up a healthy diet by studying the daily breakfast and lunches served in the school cafeteria. |
| The Human Body |
8 to 8 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Students will synthesis the body systems. Students will explain the function of each body system and how they work together. |
| The human body - skeletal system |
6 to 6 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Students will learn about the skeletal system of the human body. This includes how the skeleton supports the body in addition to protecting its soft, vulnerable organs. |
| The Living Biography |
4 to 12 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Use podcasting to have students create a living audio biography of someone they've studied. |
| THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT - SHADOWS |
K to 2 |
| Kindergarten through Second Grade students will explore light and shadows in science. |
| The More You Know: Designing Creative Solutions for Waste Reduction and Recycling |
2 to 6 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) This lesson outlines the conclusion of a larger unit plan based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Since these goals highlight global challenges that require innovative thinking and collaboration in order to develop possible solutions, the Design Process was also used to guide students throughout all aspects of the unit. Introductory lessons focused on the first two steps of this process: identify the problem and research possible solutions. Third grade is specifically working on Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, so they began by making connections between this goal and their own lives. After identifying numerous problems related to Goal 12 within Montgomery Township, they ultimately agreed to concentrate their efforts on the waste and recycling management at MMR. Students then conducted an assessment of MMR’s waste stream in order to identify how much waste was being produced every day and how much of that waste could be recycled. Using the data collected, they moved on to the plan and create phase of the Design Process during which they developed proposals for a new system to manage the waste and recycling in the school cafeteria and within each classroom. As a whole class, we selected the best proposal to move further along in the Design Process. At this point, students are preparing to test & improve the decided upon plan before they conclude the unit using the school’s broadcast studio equipment to produce a Public Service Announcement (PSA) that will be aired for the entire student body. The PSA will allow students to communicate the results of their efforts, spread awareness about an important issue, and inform the school community on how we can work together show respect for the environment. |
| The Planet Mars |
5 to 8 |
| I created this lesson plan so that my fifth grade students would be able to compare and contrast the planets of Mars and Earth, and further build their knowledge of the solar system. |
| The Pumpkin Patch |
P-K to 4 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Students use digital images and drawing software, in this case Kid Pix 4, to create a pumpkin patch illustration. Students use their product to write a paragraph on a writing prompt provided by the teacher. |
| The Science of Balls |
3 to 5 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Lesson will have studnets examining why each sport requires a different ball. Measurement, science, math are incorporated. |
| The STEM Train! |
7 to 8 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) The STEM Train will be a school-wide program for students to create exploration through video-making, short films and documentaries. Students will become mini filmmakers. They will use the latest technology to make video presentations in class. Digital Cameras will be the source of our videos, but in order to “create” magic, we will need more electronic equipment. |
| The Water Cycle |
