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

In the Classroom
Create a passage with missing verbs, punctuation, or parts of speech, and have students drag the correct options into the blanks. Create a brief historical narrative (e.g., the American Revolution, Ancient Egypt) with missing facts or names. Students can complete the story by dragging in accurate terms, helping reinforce comprehension and sequencing. Have students write their own short texts with blanks and correct word options. They can then challenge classmates to complete them.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Play the game as a class on the smartboard, having teams take turns answering questions and making decisions. Use it as an exciting review day or end-of-unit celebration. Customize the escape room puzzles with questions from your current unit (math problems, vocabulary definitions, science facts, etc.). Students must correctly solve each one to earn a gem and move closer to defeating the dragon. As students progress through the dungeon, have them keep a digital journal using Book Creator, reviewed here or a paper journal reflecting on their team's strategies, what worked, and how they solved each puzzle.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
