Ecosystems are shaped by interactions among living organisms and their physical environment. A food chain shows the energy flow through organisms in an environment. A food pyramid shows loss of energy in a food chain.

This is a very simple overview and lesson on electricity.  This lesson can be altered to fit the need of your class.  Use the pieces that work for you.  

When students are given the opportunity to express themselves, they need creative options and a variety of formats available to meet their needs. See how AI supports the student's content through design and publishing process in tools like Sway and Stream to allow students to share professionally designed work without wasting time and energy on executive tasks.

Students solve 3 digital math addition fact puzzles in order to escape the jungle (1-find their way through the cave, 2-sneak past the sleeping lions to get to the jeep, and 3-opening the treasure chest for the key to the jeep!)

This lesson is all about learning what the special senses of the body are and how they work. Students will use this lesson to contribute to and enhance their understanding of the nervous system and how it functions by participating in tests of their visual field, eye muscles, smell, taste, and hearing. Finally, students will review their understanding through a creative review project that uses their own unique experience of their special senses. Students will complete a quiz to also demonstrate their understanding of what has been taught. Image attribution: Senses Garden in Holon, Avishai Teicher via the PikiWiki - Israel free image collection project, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 Generic license.

Here is a Nearpod that was created to give students another opportunity to solve real world problems using a Fall theme. These problems consist of word problems with basic multiplication and division strategies and facts. A fun new way to learn math.

This is a lesson plan to end a unit on Family History. During the unit, students learned about their family history, cultural background, and personal beliefs, values, and perceptions. Students will create a "Family Coat of Arms" to share their story digitally using Apple Keynote. (Picture is my own family crest creation)

As the final project after learning about family traits students will make an Adobe Spark video highlighting some of the traits they have inherited.

 Figurative language uses words or expressions that go beyond the literal meaning of words to get the message across. Although direct language is easier to understand, in some instances we respond better to more creative wording. For example, writers like to use figurative language to build imagery and give words more power. Idioms are considered some of the highest levels of language processing and some students with language impairments struggle with understanding the meaning of these figurative language.

This is a lesson plan designed to deeped understanding of real world, multistep math problems for the 5th grade.  It could be adapted to any grade level.  Students will need to understand basic math operations and apply them to either act out a real world problem, or act as the teacher and take a deep dive in how to solve the problem presented.  It is designed mostly to use with metric and customary conversions, but could be applied to any real world problem.

Welcome to a Fractions Review with Mr. J (Spanish version)! Need a refresher on how to add fractions, subtract fractions, multiply fractions, and/or divide fractions? Everyone needs a refresher from time to time, so this video is for you if you're looking for help with fractions. Mr. J will go through examples of adding fractions (like and unlike denominators), subtracting fractions (like and unlike denominators), multiplying fractions, and dividing fractions.

About Math with Mr. J: This channel offers instructional videos that are directly aligned with math standards. Teachers, parents/guardians, and students from around the world have used this channel to help with math content in many different ways. All material is absolutely free.

Mr. J is very good at walking you step by step to teach you upper grade math, 5-6 grade math. I like using his videos to teach my students in class. I can pause it and have them use their white boards to practice with Mr. J to understand how to do the lesson step by step.

Students will learn the elements of a Fairy Tale.
