I am currently a senior at F.I.U. majoring in Early Childhood Education. I dream to open a daycare one day, as I would like to change each child's life, one step at a time.

Thank you, for the information. As others mentioned, do you know what is the best day to spot ISON with the naked eye. This would be great to incorporate into a lesson and have students observe from home and have a discussion on it the following class day. I think astronomy has so many interesting components that can engage students!

Hello, I am still just an education student, but we have been given the advice to conduct surveys with the students. There might be several topics you may be willing to cover, give them a choice as to which ones they find interesting. Or select the topic you do have to teach and find out what ideas from that topic interests them. Hope this helps. -Cassandra

Weather And Climate Collection

Weather!

I think this is a wonderful collection because it gives students a reason to care about the weather. It has resources on precipitation, seasons, and different weather conditions. This collection also includes a web seminar. I think this is great for students to be able to watch something that occurred live and see different peoples feedback on the topic. There is a journal article which is about blogging about the the weather, which is an idea to incorporate technology into a sometimes not so interesting topic. This collection has both resources for the teachers and students and would work great for just about any elementary teacher!

Sonia's Collection

Gravity & Orbit

I think this is a great collection. Sonia included a variety of resources. As a teacher one can review the chapters included with the students and can then have them complete the Scipack for extra information. This collection has resources both for teacher and for students, which is a plus. With a Science Object included students have an interactive module which supports their learning. I also like that Sonia did not stick to one object but included the moon, sun, and Earth.
