Introduce your students to the inspiring legacy of Amelia Earhart through a blend of history and hands-on science with Science Sparks' Inspirational Women in STEM - Amelia Earhart resource. This engaging webpage provides a brief fact file on Earhart's groundbreaking achievements in aviation, complemented by interactive STEM activities for young learners. Students can explore concepts such as gravity by creating paper spinners, delve into aerodynamics by designing and building paper-plane launchers, and understand the difference between mass and weight through simple experiments. These activities not only reinforce scientific principles but also celebrate Earhart's pioneering spirit, making them ideal for elementary classrooms aiming to integrate science, history, and discussions on gender equality in STEM fields.

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

Assign each student a moon phase and have them act it out using body movements or props (e.g., holding paper moons) to demonstrate the phase. As the teacher calls out each phase, students position themselves accordingly to model the cycle. Provide students with Oreo cookies to carve frosting into the eight major phases of the moon. Label each phase and arrange them in order on a paper plate. Use a digital tool like NASA's Moon Phase Simulator reviewed here or a lamp and foam ball model in class to help students visualize why we see different phases based on the Moon's position relative to Earth and the Sun.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Ever wondered why the Moon seems to change shape each night? National Geographic Kids' "Phases of the Moon" article provides a clear and engaging explanation tailored for young learners. It elucidates how the Moon doesn't emit its light but reflects sunlight, and how its orbit around Earth causes the varying phases we observe. The article introduces terms like "waxing" and "waning" and explains the concept of a lunar month, which spans approximately 29.5 days. Additionally, it offers a free downloadable primary resource, making it an excellent tool for teachers aiming to bring astronomy concepts to life in the classroom. This resource not only aligns with science curricula but also encourages observational activities, such as tracking the phases of the Moon over a month.

Use Google Vids to create review and introductory videos for upcoming lessons. Have students create video essays, instructional videos, or record science experiments and observations. Use the included stock footage for students to bring their stories to life through video and add music for a professional presentation. The storyboard option provides structure for students to create and edit stories, helps students start their video using a simple prompt to create a storyboard, and then refine the information to build a one-of-a-kind story. Learn more about how to create Google Vids and incorporate them into any classroom by viewing the archive of OK2Ask: Engage and Inspire with Google Vids, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Start each class with a 3-5 question review using the template to refresh prior knowledge in a fun, interactive way. Have students respond individually or in teams. Build a game with definition-to-word or word-to-sentence matching to help students master new vocabulary. Use visuals and audio to reinforce multiple learning styles. Assign students or groups to build their own question sets based on research or a chapter of study, then host a "quiz day" where students play each other's games. Create a class-wide quiz competition with questions from a recent unit. Include multimedia (images, audio, or short videos) to enhance content understanding and vary the format.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
