Just a fun and extensive science website!

If you're looking for a fun science website to supplement your science program or introduce some science reading into your reading program navigate to the American Museum of Natural History's website for kids called "Ology."  Here your students will find all kinds of information on topics from climate change to archeology and anatomy. There are fun games, articles, daily information cards, and assessments to use. Also, you will find a large pile of hands on activities. So whether you need a fun activity for a station, additional practice to complete a science unit, or a supplement unit for your classroom complete with a formative assessment, check this site out.

Create a Webquest

My recent Technology in the Classroom class at Purdue University NW gave me a chance to expand my technology skills in preparation for my future classroom. One of the assignments that really excited me was creating a webquest. This type of lesson could be informative and engaging for students. In the webquest that I created, students research information regarding the solar system; then use that information to perform different tasks. The unit culminates with a spaceship building activity. Feel free to embark on this webquest, or use the activities as a snow day lesson. If you do, let me know how it goes and how I can make it better! Click on the link below to go directly to the

The link below is for Book Bingo from Scholastic.com, a game that looks like so much fun I want to play it. This includes a downloadable PDF to send home with students for the summer or to include in a literacy center. Activities include reading a play with friends and reading with a flashlight. I just love it.
