About Plants - Taylor Andollo

This collection contains articles that students and teachers may find useful when learning about plants. Plants are very diverse living things, very similar to humans and these articles are very beneficial in helping students to understand that. It is also important for students to be able to know the functions of each part of the plant and how their “body parts” function similar to humans as well.

Sink or Float, Elem. - Taylor Andollo

The students predict whether objects will sink or float and with the result of the experiment they will learn that objects that are less dense than water will float and objects that are more dense than water will sink.

I think that in order to keep the students engaged and have their parents become involved you can create mini experiments for them to do at home where it requires them to be more crafty and creative rather than heavily focused on writing. Make experiments simple for parents to do from home and maybe encourage them to record and send in videos of their experiment to share to their class.

Hi! I just did a lesson plan on an outdoor activity that is fun and educational. The students are required to use their five senses and observe different plants and animals. This requires you to go outside in an area that would provide good observations and have students really look into plants and animals using the five senses (modify taste). Hope this helps!

I think that is a very good idea! I think that the integration of science and physical education can be done when having lessons on the body and possibly nutrition. There is an article on the NSTA website called "Moving your body" I believe, where it provides activities for students to do that relate to the section that was just read. I have not had any experience in that case, but I do...

Inquiry based lessons-Changing the State of Water Collection

Thu, Jun 11, 2020 10:49 PM
Very Helpful!

This entire collection is great! I really like how you did not include information on just the topic but you made sure to include resources on inquiry lessons as well, which were very good and useful. My personal favorite article is the first one labeled "Methods and Strategies: "Inquirize" Your Teaching" because I felt that the text was very informational on the topic and the lesson and did not just focus on one or the other. Overall, every article is important in this collection. Thanks for sharing!!

Human Body Collection

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 12:16 AM

This collection has very useful sources that can be used for teaching about the human body. Not only does it contain an article that is more general about the human body, but it includes important topics like movement, your digestive system, and even nutrition! It is very resourceful and elementary-friendly with the articles that are provided. I think one of the best, in my opinion, was the article on "Moving My Body" because not only was it just full of reading and information, but it provided various exercises for the students to try. These articles are perfect to use, and even interactive, when introducing the topic of Human Bodies into a class especially when you are trying to cover different aspects, functions, and important nutritional information of and for the body.
