Hi again! I hope everyone is staying healthy while we are not in school. I have included different lessons this week with the same format. I have put the Maker Stations posting from a previous blog in this blog as well as a reminder to complete 3 activities. I also added a science experiment at the end that a friend of mine put on YouTube. If you do the experiment home, write a couple sentences about what happened and or how you would change or improve the experiment. Please feel free to email me flemink@dearbornschools.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storyline Online is a great STEAM resource for parents and children to do at home. There is no login and the story is read to students. Storyline Online has an activity guide section for teachers and parents with many STEAM activities relating to the story. This week I have included the parent activity guide which gives discussion questions and ideas on how to create projects with recycled materials just like we do in class. The possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mystery Science is a science resource we use. You should be able to click on the links to get to the lessons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brain pop is another good science resource. Students can take the quiz at the end of the lesson. There are also other activities they can do corresponding to the lesson. The site also contains lessons from other subject areas. They have given us free access for schools that are closed. User name \u2013 flemink \u2013 password \u2013 Whitmore2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maker Stations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am including the Maker Stations in this blog post again so you can continue to work on these at home. Brooke Brown has created a free pack of 15 Maker Stations<\/a> for three weeks of at-home learning. Each Maker Station includes simple challenges using items around the home, scannable QR code resources, and a student recording sheet. Enjoy the activities! You can do them all but please complete at least 3 total over the next month. Bring the student reflection and recording sheets (the page with the blueprint) to school when we get back so I can see what you did. Another option would be to take a picture of your finished projects and send to my email: flemink@dearbornschools.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elijah has already turned in several. Here are a few pictures of his work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science Experiment<\/strong> – Here is a link to a science experiment “pop bottle science” that a member of our district enrichment team posted on YouTube if you want to try this at home. Let me know how it turns out! Write a couple sentences about what happened and or how you would change or improve the experiment.https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6ox1uzpKMV4<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
