FREE SCIENCE LESSON - “Scientific Method Kitchen Myth Lab: ‘Getting the Most Out of Lemons’”

by Cooking with Science
6th - 10th Grade



Need a one day lab for break? Need to reinforce basic scientific skills? Want to reward your kids? This is THE lab for you.

Students will investigate whether or not they can obtain more juice from a lemon once it has been microwaved. I'm sure you're thinking, "what happens to the juice?" I'm glad you asked! Your kids will then make a fizzy lemon drink recipe to enjoy as they share data, perform basic calculations and draw conclusions based on the data.

This stand alone ONE DAY lab reinforces the scientific method and data collection/processing skills. When life hands you a lemons, you do a lab!

FREE SOCIAL STUDIES LESSON - “Peter the Great of Russia Jigsaw”

by Alex Reinecke
7th - 12th Grade



This is a jigsaw project over Peter the Great. I split my classes up into several groups and had them answer two questions a piece. I then had them teach each group in front of the class about the two questions they answered. The kids really liked this project and they enjoyed teaching their classmates. I would recommend this project to anyone covering the Age of Absolutism!

FREE MISC. LESSON - “Paying Bills *SIMPLE* Worksheet”

by Breezy Special Ed
9th - 12th Grade



When teaching bills to my students, I first give them all a bill to look at. We discuss sections of the bill as a class so that each student is familiar with what they are looking for (date due, amount due, account number, etc). Students then fill out this worksheet including real life applications, such as an envelope to write out the address and a check to fill out the amount. 

Learning goals, standards, and objectives:
Learning Goal: Students will gain a broader knowledge on the items that people are billed for each month. Students will recognize key words/numbers in a bill or statement. Students will continue to gain knowledge on the value of money.

Standards: 
CC.2.MD.7 Work with time and money. 

Objectives:
Given a bill students will:
Identify date due, amount due, account number, company, and address.

Given an envelope students will:
Legibly write out the company’s name on the first line.
Legibly write out the PO Box number on the second line.
Legibly write out the city, state, and zip code on the final line.

Legibly write the date in numbers.

FREE MATH LESSON - “FREE 2013 Watch, Think, Color Hundreds Chart Fun Game”

by The Primary Techie
Pre-Kindergarten - 3rd Grade


I am so happy with these games that I want to share one with you for FREE!!! Try this with your class. I think you will be back for more! I am planning more free Watch, Think, Color games. Follow me for updates!

Watch, Think, Color! Students watch the board, think about the clues to figure out the number, and color the spot indicated. When they are finished, they have made a cute picture. In this version of the game, numbers are displayed and students must color-in the corresponding number on their chart. This is a great level for kids who are still becoming familiar with finding numbers on a hundreds chart or are just getting used to playing the game. There are lots of versions of the Watch, Think, Color games focusing on many skills - counting coins, place value, reading number words, and expanded notation. Find the skill that is right for your class!

This game gets the whole class focused on the activity. They get so sucked into the game, they don't realize they are practicing math skills! Slides change automatically! This game lasts approximately ten minutes. That gives you a chance to grade papers, check email, write a note to a parent, do whatever you need to do! Your class is actively engaged and learning while you can get some work done! This is also great to have on-hand for a rainy day or if you have a sub.

Students will need a hundreds chart to play this game. You can download it for free in my store!

Enjoy this free game and have a great 2013!

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Greek Alphabet Wall Display Gifted Language Arts”

by Simone Ryals
3rd - 12th Grade



If they already know the alphabet, try posting this one above your whiteboard instead! It includes upper and lower case symbols, English (Latin) equivalences, and pronunciations. 

It prints in landscape format with two letters per page and fits just perfectly in a horizontal row over my board as traditional alphabet displays do--but with a real wow effect that makes everyone entering the room stop and actually look at the letters. Letters are clear and large for easy viewing.

My precocious 5th graders picked up the Greek alphabet in about ten minutes after a quick review of this display thanks to free online videos I found that tie in cute story lines. Of course, you could always come up with your own story or challenge your students to create one.

Why teach children the Greek alphabet? It comes up more frequently than I realized before I incorporated this in my classroom. 

The first connection they usually make is to "alpha" and "beta" forming the basis for the word "alphabet." Someone cries out, "Oh, is that why they call the leader of wolf and dog packs the Alpha males?" Another child notices that Pi is used in math... Last year, a few creative students used it in writing code. At the end of the school year, a little sweetie commented that he'd miss me, but the school year had gone from Alpha to Omega, so it was time to go.

I hope you and yours enjoy it too!

FREE MISC. LESSON - “Acts of Kindness and Justice: Build a Wall”

by Rainbow City Learning
3rd - 6th Grade



This idea was inspired by The Kindness and Justice Challenge proposed by Martin Luther King III and Coretta Scott King in 1999 through an organization called DoSomething.org. The intent of the challenge is to keep Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream alive for children following MLK Day and into the future.

The resources in this packet may be used within your own classroom, grade level, or school. Students receive a “brick wall” page and begin collecting data on acts of k & j that they do. Each time they do an act of kindness or justice, they write a sentence on a brick about the act.
The completed pages may then be displayed on a bulletin board or wall in your classroom or on a wall in a school hallway.
