Display this site on your interactive whiteboard or with a projector to introduce to students. Pair strong readers with weaker readers. Have all students use Wordnik, reviewed here, to hear the word pronounced and to read the different definitions. Enhance student learning by having them make a Padlet, reviewed here, to list the words and write the diffent definitions. Then, students can discuss which definition is correct for their use; older students can discuss how the two definitions are similar. For instance atrium can be architecture or part of anaomy, then discuss how those two concepts are related.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Stalking the Mysterious Microbe
Grades
6 to 12tag(s): microorganisms (9)
In the Classroom
Use the videos on this site as a supplement to a lecture on microbes. One video that would be great, "E. Coli Animation," shows the growth and reproduction of e.coli in a quick YouTube clip. Not all school internet systems allow for access to YouTube, so make sure to check your school's policies before use. If it does work, some of these videos do a great job of detailing specific microbes and their life-cycles. Definitely a lot more interesting and fun for students to watch than reading the same information out of a textbook!Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
