Friday Treats: 4.13.2012



Happy Friday the 13th.


I love this resource for Math (or just fun)…it’s all interactive from Glencoe that would work stupendously on your SMARTBoard.  It has stuff for all grades, great backgrounds, game boards, manipulatives, balances, all sorts of fun.  It might also be great practice for your kids to use on their own to get used to using Math tools online (since they’ll be doing their SOL online next year).  http://www.glencoe.com/sites/common_assets/mathematics/ebook_assets/vmf/VMF-Interface.html 


This is called Adventure on the Titanic and it goes through what someone might have experienced aboard Titanic.  It’s from Nat Geo.  Kind of neat.  http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/titanic/adventure-on-the-titanic/

Did you know Ms Frizzle has a Magic Schoolbus Science Club?  You can join! http://www.theyoungscientistsclub.com/themagicschoolbus/




Get ping pong balls and write prompts on them for writing, then have kids choose:



This is kind of fun…discovery bottles:



Discovery Bottles: These were just a few that I made and took a picture of.  Bubbles: Add half of the bottle with colored water, then add a drop of dish soap and shake!  Waves: half colored water, half oil (I only had veggie oil on hand, but baby oil works much better).  Sink or Float: Water/glitter.  Oddly, half of it sunk and half of it floated!  Static: Add tissue paper squares, rub on either carpet or hair!

Along those same lines, here’s a fun experiment with liquid densities:
