Science 101: Are there different types of force and motion?
Tue, May 05, 2015 2:07 PM
Force and Motion
I thought this article gave many great way to incorporate physical activity with force and motion. I loved that it got students out of their seats. The article defines four types of motion linear, rotational, reciprocating and oscillating. Students cant see these forces but they can feel them through motion which is what makes this activity so great. Children are able to understand force and motion by observing it and acting it!
Chow Down! Using Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches to Explore Basic Nutrition Concepts

Chow Down
I LOVED this reading the article on this activity. I am not currently a teacher. However, I am constantly looking for ways to incorporate animals into my future classroom. I did an assignment in college where I had to care for a plant or animal. I wish I would have thought about having a "hissing cockroach." I strongly believe in having animals in the classroom. I think that it teaches students respect and responsibility. It is also great for lesson plans!

How We Know What We Know
This is a really neat activity. This being one of my weaknesses it helped me learn a lot. It helped me re-learn and learn concepts I will need to know to earn my science credentials in order to be a science teacher. Its a great introduction to the stars and the universe. It truly had great material to take with me as a future teacher and even to share with my students.
