The tilt of the Earth's axis causes the cycle of the seasons. In this workshop, we'll discuss how different parts of the Earth receive different amounts of light energy that result in the Earth's seasons. In particular, we will look at the tilt of the Earth's axis and how the hours of daylight change throughout the year.

The colors that surround us provide a rich visual experience. In this workshop we will create rainbows and learn how and why these magnificent phenomena occur in the sky. After looking at the Sun's electromagnetic spectrum we will explore the reflection and refraction of photons of light. We will also examine color televisions and look closely at the pixels which form images, and investigate the primary colors of light and pigments.

Overview of the uses of the electromagnetic spectrum in daily and military life. Many nations around the world, including the United States, are facing a challenge regarding the use of the electromagnetic spectrum. Wireless devices in our modern world work because of a powerful resource called the electromagnetic spectrum. The spectrum includes radio waves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays, gamma rays, and cosmic rays. Countless examples are given of things in our world that rely on electromagnetic spectrum. (07:51)

Through the voices of students themselves, 'Fires in the Mind' brings a game-changing question to teachers of adolescents: What does it take to get really good at something? Starting with what they already know and do well, teenagers from widely diverse backgrounds join a cutting-edge dialogue with adults about the development of mastery in and out of school. Their insights frame motivation, practice, and academic challenge in a new light that galvanizes more powerful learning for all. To put these students' ideas into practice, the book also includes practical tips for educators.(02:25)

A great example of germination. This time lapse video shows how radish plants go from seeds, to seedlings, to plants in just nine days. Amazing how fast the radishes grew. Time lapse sequence set to take a frame each 14 minutes 24 seconds. The time lapse spans 9 days. Two 90 watt compact floresecent lights where used for both the camera shooting light and the grow lights. The lights were set on a timer for 18 hours on and 6 off (for the health of the plants). The jump in the video is the 6 hour gap in the darkness. Music by Roland White - Gaieté Acadienne [CD-Trying to Get to You]. (00:46) [CD-Trying to Get to You].

This read-aloud is Arthur's TV Trouble written and illustrated by Marc Brown. After a television ad convinces Arthur that his puppy, Pal, needs a Treat Timer to dispense dog biscuits, he finds that he can think of little else. Arthur works to earn the $19.95 (nonrefundable), then buys the Treat Timer (some assembly required), but its lights, noises, and rocketing treats frighten Pal. The money's gone, the gadget's a dud, and Arthur's learned his lesson. There is a play button to start the story and a pause button on each page. Each word is highlighted as it is read and the speaker changes his voice with character changes. This is a wonderful resource to help build a literacy rich environment in the elementary classroom. It would benefit struggling readers and/or special education students.

Walter Lewin, professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, sheds light on everyday phenomena such as rainbows and what makes the sky blue and many other things that students of most ages can understand better. A great video to get students interested in science. There are some data and terminology that needs to be explained to students in this 1:15 video that uses a lecture and slides. (1:14:27)

After thousands of years of attributing all cause and effect to "magic" scientists decide to try a different method. In the seventeenth century, European thinkers started to invest their studies which lead to the scientific revolution. Scientific revolution was about beliefs, logic, and reason. Nicolas Copernicus made others believe that the sun, not the earth was the center of the universe.
another scientist, Galileo invented the telescope. Thomas Edison and Latimer invented the record player and the light bulb. All 3 scientists used scientific methods to help for what was needed to invent their experiment and change the way people thought. This video explains how the scientific method came to benefit mankind. An excellent motivator for students as it shows that not all inventions need to be grand. (03:55)

Dunk Tank is a math-themed game show created by the producers of Cyberchase and starring Harry from Cyberchase For Real. Using a combination of video and interactive gaming, each program addresses a single topic in the 6th grade math curriculum and students compete with themselves for high scores. Dunk Tank is an independent learning experience for students to complete in 15-30 minutes, depending on their proficiency, and can also be used to support teacher-led instruction. In this interactive, Harry covers mean, median, mode and range, and how to calculate each. Students play Send in the Trolls, a mini-game that challenges them to find the troll of median height to send to a beauty contest; watch a light-hearted video where an attempt to use mode with shoe sizes creates a problem in a store; and answer other questions designed to help students further their understanding of mean, median, mode and range. Students can access support using a glossary, defining key math terms, and a menu of short segments to re-watch.

As the Earth rotates, light from the sun hits different parts, giving us day and night. During its orbit, the Earth's tilt on its axis also causes two hemispheres to be different distances from the sun, and that gives us seasons. Learn more about the Earth's rotation with this cartoon animation from StudyJams. A short, self-checking quiz is also included with this link.

The development of measuring systems is a great human accomplishment. The early Egyptians created a unit of length, the cubit, based on the human forearm. The English and others, used the human foot and grains of barley corn to measure length. The metric system started with an fascinating attempt to define the meter using time. The meter evolved through a number of incarnations many involving distances taken from the planet. Today the meter is defined using the speed of light. This definition relies on a reliable means for measuring time. Time and space have been joined in our current definition of the meter. (07:23)

The students in Mrs. Matthews science class have been studying plants this week. They have been learning the parts of a plant, parts of a flower, parts of a seed, and various jobs a plant has. The students work through six centers throughout the week. The centers include (1) an art activity about pollination (2) an A.R. book about pollination (3) several interactive websites about the growth of plants and how plants respond to light and gravity (4) an art activity about the life cycle of a plant (and how a flower turns into a fruit) (5) a multiple choice game called "Can-Do!" and (6) a crossword puzzle and flashcards. The students also have an ongoing experiment about moldy bread. They have been discussing the different variables in the experiment and are observing the mold under a microscope. They've learned that mold is NOT a plant because it does not make its own food. (03:53)

In this video, a teacher explains how she gets her students to follow directions in her intermediate classroom. The video is actually a skit or demonstration lesson in which adults and kids are both a part. Several individuals show "non-examples" of the desired behaviors and how to redirect them. The video is humorous and light-hearted while still conveying a lot of information.

This interactive activity adapted from Indiana University features time-lapse videos that reveal the movement and growth of plants in their pursuit of light. Although plants have no choice about where they are rooted, they do respond to environmental cues in ways that enable them to survive. This interactive site includes five videos using time lapsed photography (no audio) with written explanations. The videos include: seed germination and gravity, light and dark responses, twining vines, plant growth and gravity, and circadian response.
