Turn the excitement of the Olympics into a meaningful writing assignment. This lesson plan asks students to explore the aesthetic characteristic of athletics, drawing from their own experiences as well as examples in popular media. Thoughts and impressions are recorded in a reflective journal. Using the data as a foundation, students conduct Internet research, view short informative video clips, take digital photographs, and synthesize all of the information into an original cinquain poem. The lesson plan allows you to select your state and grade level to see the standards for your state.

tag(s): sports (81), writing (318)

In the Classroom

Get your students excited about poetry, by using the momentum of sports and the Olympics. Share the video clips on your interactive whiteboard or projector. Use this site to integrate science, sports, and research into your language arts class.

After seven years and nearly three billion miles of space travel, NASA's Stardust spacecraft returned to earth on January 15, 2006. It will be carrying dust samples from a comet. The samples are the oldest matter ever collected from space, dating to the origins of the universe. NASA's site offers background and information on the scientific significance of this mission. Though a few features may require Flash, there is still PLENTY of information to learn from or to research.

tag(s): nasa (29), solar system (109), space (216)

In the Classroom

Introduce the Starship findings to your class on an interactive whiteboard or projector by giving a brief summary of each finding. Engage students by allowing them to form small groups based on their interests. Enhance learning by having students create an organizational Padlet, with thier findings and a section for questions they still have. Next have the class complete a Jigsaw activity so everyone gets an overview of all the topics. Have students take notes! If you would like to refresh your memory about what a Jigsaw activity is, see Jigsaw Classroom, reviewed here.

Although this site takes a bit of time to load, it is well worth the wait. Watch in amazement as you begin to move through space - starting at 10 million light years from earth -and get progressively closer to our planet in successive orders of magnitude until you land on the leaves of a tree in Tallahassee, FL. But the journey doesn't end there. A sequence of images leads you down into the microscopic world of leaf cells, DNA, electrons, and protons. Wow!!
