Engage students with an introductory activity using IdeaBoardz, reviewed here to add sticky notes with students' knowledge of specific instruments, countries, or different kinds of music. As you add information and resources to your lessons, use Wakelet, reviewed here, to create collections to share with students that include videos and websites related to the content taught. Have students show what they know using Adobe Creative Cloud Express for Education, reviewed here, to create a website, video, or presentation on their chosen topic. For younger students, work together in groups or as a class to create a music book using Book Creator, reviewed here.

NTTI Science Lessons - NTTI/WNET
Grades
4 to 12In the Classroom
The lesson plans here are excellent! Choose from many lessons (levels 4-12) to use in class to save you time. All lessons have a summary explaining what you and students will encounter with that lesson. Some example titles are The Ladder of Life where through video and Web-based activities, the students will develop a greater understanding of what DNA does in a cell. Students will be able to assemble DNA parts in order to simulate DNA strands. They will also have the opportunity to experimentally view DNA through an extraction technique included in the lesson. Another is Evolution: Its Effect Throughout Geological Time and the Controversy where students review the basics of Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution. They use the World Wide Web to explore the various stages of evolution, over geological time, and learn how each organism fits into the evolutionary story. These are just two representatives of how the many lessons are presented.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Funderstanding Roller Coaster - Funderstanding
Grades
6 to 12In the Classroom
Have students create their roller coasters at the end of a physics term. The site requires knowledge of acceleration, motion, and the laws of physics, and is an excellent way for students to apply their newfound knowledge. For a twist, have students compete in teams to see who can build the scariest, highest, craziest, or most creative roller coaster. Or use this site to spark a class discussion on how physics is applied in the real world!Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
