The YouTube video "How Airplanes Fly: The Science Behind Flight" provides an introductory overview of the basic principles of flight, covering topics like lift, thrust, and drag in an accessible way to students. This video can give students a foundational understanding before diving into hands-on activities or experiments. However, teachers should be aware that some schools may restrict YouTube access, so it's recommended to check availability in advance.

In the Classroom
Have students design, fold, and test different types of paper airplanes. Challenge them to create planes that fly the farthest, stay in the air the longest, or perform loops. This hands-on activity reinforces concepts like lift, drag, and thrust, which were introduced in the video. Supply students with materials like cardstock, paper clips, and tape to build basic gliders. Students can experiment with the design to see how wing size, shape, and weight placement affect flight. Using balloons, straws, and string, create balloon rockets to demonstrate thrust. Use an online flight simulator such as Geo-FS Flight Simulator, reviewed here to let students virtually "fly" an aircraft.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) Learning Resources website offers numerous educational materials for teachers and students focused on wildlife conservation and biodiversity. It provides interactive activities, lesson plans, and multimedia resources to engage students of all ages in understanding animal behavior, ecosystems, and conservation efforts. Teachers can incorporate these materials into science and environmental studies with resources aligned to curriculum standards. Additionally, the site includes virtual tours, live cams, and activities that help bring the world of zoology into the classroom, making it an excellent tool for hands-on and visual learning. The videos are hosted on YouTube. If your district blocks YouTube, then they may not be viewable.

In the Classroom
Using RZSS resources on different animal diets and habitats, students can create a food web for a specific ecosystem. Have them research how human activities, like deforestation or pollution, impact this food web. After researching an animal from the RZSS resources, students can create a mock conservation campaign, with slogans, images, and facts about why that animal needs protection. Students watch live animal webcams RZSS provides, like those featuring pandas, penguins, or tigers. They can take notes on the animals' behavior, movements, and interactions over a period using a resource such as Book Creator, reviewed here. Have students explore the RZSS virtual tours, videos, and animal fact sheets to learn about endangered species. They can then choose an animal and create a conservation poster to educate classmates about its habitat, threats, and conservation status. Students can present their posters to the class or create a gallery walk where they explain the importance of conservation efforts for each species.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Using Dr. Seuss's rhyming books like, The Cat in the Hat, set up a relay race where students work in teams to generate rhyming words based on prompts from the books. Each team gets a point for every correct rhyme, encouraging creativity and reinforcing phonics skills. After reading a Dr. Seuss story, have students create a whimsical character, complete with a name, unique features, and a special talent. Use Bartholomew and the Oobleck to introduce a fun science activity where students make "Oobleck". They'll explore states of matter and record observations, engaging with early science concepts through hands-on learning. Organize a classroom "reading party" where students come dressed as Dr. Seuss characters or create hats like the Cat in the Hat. They can read their favorite Dr. Seuss books aloud or in small groups. Select a Dr. Seuss book and ask students to pick out unusual or "nonsense" words. They can guess meanings from context, create definitions, and then illustrate the words.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Pi gives us a way to find the circumference of circles; this article shares four ways to introduce and explore Pi by looking at circles in nature. For younger students, the first activity uses a scavenger hunt for students to find circles in nature. For older students ready to measure circumference, the scavenger hunts expand to finding the circumference of natural objects, such as tree trunks. Additional suggestions include "Pi-Ku" poetry and exploring ingredients found in students' favorite pies from nature. Each activity description includes a link to further information to help plan the activity.
In the Classroom
Add this site to your Pi Day resources for use when lesson planning. If students can access mobile devices, use Goosechase, reviewed here to gamify your scavenger hunt. Have students work in groups to participate in a mission to find and document circular objects in nature. Extend learning when older students measure the circumference of circular objects, ask them to share their calculations, and describe their observations using Padlet, reviewed here, specifically the Sandbox tool or the Journal "recipe." The Sandbox option allows students to draw, create, and collaborate with others in real-time, while the journal option includes areas for personal reflection and documentation of activities.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Bring a few baseballs, a bat, and a wiffle ball to class. Demonstrate concepts like force and spin by comparing how the objects move when hit or thrown. Have students work in small groups to calculate the speed and angle needed for a perfect pitch. Provide simple equations and data like average pitching speeds. Ask students to design their own "ideal" baseball using knowledge from the article. They should consider materials, size, weight, and texture to optimize performance. Students can present their designs to the class, explaining how physics influenced their choices. If possible, use modeling clay or craft materials to create prototypes.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

San Diego Zoo Live Cams offers a variety of animal live cameras. Live cameras include apes, baboons, elephants, condors, hippos, penguins, and more. Cameras are live during the day, and at night, the same day's stream is rebroadcast. Under each web camera page, there are links to learn more and read stories about the animal. You will need to enter your email address to view the live cams.

In the Classroom
In the classroom, students research the animal on the live camera by creating a poster, diorama, or Google Slide/Book Creator book (to be combined with all the animals). Book Creator is reviewed here. Students can watch other live cameras from different zoos to compare and contrast the animals from zoo to zoo. Finally, students can track the animals' day, including feeding, "playing," and sleep patterns.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
