Host a "Math Video Showcase" where students present math tutorial videos they made to the class, allowing for peer feedback and discussion. After viewing a video about art techniques or historical art movements, students can create their own artwork using the methods discussed. Following a ClickView science video, organize a hands-on experiment related to the video's content. For example, if the video discusses ecosystems, students can create mini-ecosystems in a jar. After watching a video on a literary topic or a story, have students create their own short stories or scripts incorporating themes, characters, or settings from the video. Share the stories using a digital storytelling tool such as Book Creator, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The Raptor Resource Project's Lesson Plans website provides a wealth of educational resources focused on raptors and their ecosystems. Teachers can easily search for lesson plans by subject, making it a convenient tool for classroom integration. Subjects include science, math, language arts, social studies, and art, allowing educators to incorporate the study of birds of prey into various curricula. These comprehensive lesson plans offer engaging activities and materials that enhance students' understanding of raptors and promote critical thinking and environmental awareness. This resource is perfect for enriching lessons on biology, conservation, and the interconnectedness of ecosystems. If your district blocks YouTube, then the videos may not be viewable.

In the Classroom
Assign each student or group a specific raptor species to research, including its habitat, diet, behavior, and conservation status. Have students watch a live stream of a raptor nest and keep a journal documenting their observations. They can note behaviors, interactions, and any changes they see over time. They can use an online resource such as Book Creator reviewed here to record their observations. Have students create a campaign to raise awareness about raptor conservation. Students can create a large map displaying various raptor habitats across the United States or the world using Google My Maps reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
