| Reading Interventions for Middle School Science |
6 to 8 |
 (5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Reading informational text and comprehending the science involved is difficult for most students. Chunking the material into smaller concept oriented blocks allow students to investigate content one concept at a time in order to focus on necessary vocabulary. Whole class reading allows for all students to hear and follow the information to be read. Students complete an accompanying activity allowing for reinforcement of the concept while working in collaborative groups for student to student support. Students will complete “reading labs” in assigned groups during science class. Topics will address concepts in Earth Science/Geosciences involving storms, earthquakes, volcanoes, biomes, ecosystems, and populations. |
| Research Begins in Kindergarten |
P-K to 5 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Children are directed to find a specific non-flction fact, looking in many different books such as, " What do bears eat?"

(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) this lesson explores the security of real friends vs the online "friends" |
| Save the Animals! |
3 to 5 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Students research an endangered animal. They then develop a PowerPoint presentation (for their parents and peers) describing the animal, its habitat, its predators, its prey, and why it's endangered. Finally, students create a podcast for our class "Save the Animals!" series describing their plan to help these endangered species, as well as recruiting support. |
| Schoolyard Jungle: What's Out There? |
7 to 7 |
| In the Schoolyard Jungle: What’s Out There? project, students from Oberon Middle School will visit the school’s outdoor classroom to photograph plants using OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAS.

| Science Claymation - Which Came First, the Chicken or the Egg? |
3 to 6 |
(5.0 stars, 2 ratings) Students in 3rd - 6th could use the Tool Factory Movie Maker, Stop Motion Pro Software to make Claymation videos about science topics such as life cycles, natural cycles, phyics, and space phenomena. These lesson plans are integrated cross-curricula and incorporate multiple 21st Century skills. |
| Science Equipment |
5 to 12 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Introduce equipment used in a science lab with student produced video. Use student produced commercials and product reviews in lieu of teacher demonstrations. |
| Science Fair Preparation |
5 to 9 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) In this lesson plan,, students use Brain Pop resources to learn about planning science based projects when they create a science fair exhibit. Students will select a topic, explore the criteria for planning, and design a compelling and realistic experiment based on their research and topic choice. |
| Science Simulation Using BBC Science Simulations 3 |
3 to 6 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Students will be able to create virtual experiments in the classroom using the software and interactive whiteboard. |
| Science Talk |
K to 12 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) A news crew in our classroom that will discuss important science topics.
|
| SciPod Studies |
K to 5 |
| The project involves the older students reading from their science texts and recording new vocabulary as well as the definition, and using the recordings to study these new ideas. The podcasts can be shared with other readers, non-readers, and/or struggling students, as well as traded with other studetns to quiz eachother for benchmark mastery. |
| Sea Scallop Data Mining Research Project |
10 to 12 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Students develop a research question and then gather the data to answer that question using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Sea Scallop Survey database. Students present the results in a formal classroom presentation and a scientific poster session which is open to the public. |
| Season Ending Injury |
11 to 12 |
(5.0 stars, 2 ratings) The project is a collaboration project in which students in my Advanced Biology class look at the anatomy and physiology of the human skeletal, muscular, circulatory and nervous system through a sports injury. The students video a mock injury and report on it as hosts for a sports telelvision show. |
| Second Grade Science Textbooks |
2 to 2 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Second graders spend the year planning and making their own science textbooks. They are learning science as well as learning how to read and write nonfiction text. |
| Seed to Plate |
