This is what I have added to my collection so far: 1. How Can We Become Good Marble Players? - This is a lesson plan that introduces the concept of pushes and pulls (2nd Grade standard) using the game of marbles; it also incorporates tech with videos. 2. May the Magnetic Force Be With You - This is a journal article that discusses developmentally appropriate activities to scaffold the abstract concept of magnetism for younger grades (3rd Grade standard). I like the "Mystery Box" activity for explaining to students that only certain types of metals are magnetic. 3. What's Matter? - This is a YouTube video from Crash Course Kids that explains the stages of matter (5th Grade Standard). I loved their balloon demonstrations for showing that gas is a form of matter! 4. Energy: Stop Faking It! - This is short podcast that offers activities for explaining the Law of Conservation of Energy (6th Grade Standard). This could be helpful for explaining abstract potential energies.
