I am an Elementary teacher in the first grade. This year I began to work for Camp Slingshot in Winchester IN, as a camp program leader. I am learning more about teaching science to have a better impact on my students.

https://mobilemusicschool.ie/how-to-make-your-own-rainmaker/ This was an idea I used at my summer camp. It was easy to make and cheap! I feel like it could be used for science, music, and cultural references. Hope this is useful for your students!

This was such a fun lesson idea. I would love to try this right now in winter. Students can see the changes that have happened. This could also be an all-year project for kindergarten when students start to learn seasons. I will steal this idea for my own classroom!

Earth, Sun, and Moon Review

I began teaching solar energy to my 1st-grade students. This collection helped guide me with what I could teach my students. Our universe has endless opportunities for learning. I wanted to be able to show my students as much as I could about the sun. These resources helped me and they can help you.

Garden Collection Review

This collection will open educators' eyes to the way gardens can be used to teach science. Many of the resources give examples of phenomena for the classroom. Garden Story is my favorite from this collection. Give these resources a read!
