After playing a game like Alien Bridge Fractions, have students write or draw in their math journals to reflect on what they learned. Prompts may include: "What was challenging about today's game?" or "How did the visuals help you understand the math?" The math journal may be created online using Book Creator, reviewed here. Link a game to a real-world scenario. For example, after playing "How Many Legs Multiplication?", have students create a zoo brochure using Canva Edu, reviewed here showing how many legs different animals would have in groups, using multiplication to support their math.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Inspirational Women in STEM- Amelia Earhart - Science Sparks
Grades
2 to 5This site includes advertising.
tag(s): aircraft (25), gravity (52), mass (22), STEM (370), women (189), womenchangemaker (78)
In the Classroom
Guide students in making paper spinners to explore how shape and size affect flight. Have students test different designs and record which spinner falls the slowest or spins the longest. Tie this into Earhart's role as a pilot and the science behind aircraft movement. Set up a simple experiment where students compare mass and weight using scales and small objects. Connect the concept to Earhart's long-distance flights and the importance of fuel and weight in aircraft design. Using rubber bands, cardboard, and paper, have students design and test their own paper plane launchers. Challenge them to modify their planes for distance or accuracy, and relate the activity to innovation in aviation. After completing the science activities, students can create a comic strip using Free Comic Strip Maker reviewed here or an illustrated poster that highlights both Amelia Earhart's accomplishments and one science concept they explored (e.g., gravity or aerodynamics).Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
