In Science this year we have studied many interesting topics, and have a few still to cover. We have learned about -
Growth and Change in Animals, Properties of Liquids and Solids (partially covered)
Air and Water in the Environment,
and will be learning about
Movement (Simple Machines and Mechanisms).
The following websites have educational resources - videos, interactive games, and other multi-media information about many of the topics we have, or will, cover in Science this year. I suggest students review/learn about only one topic at a time, then write the date, title, and three things (or more) they learned from the resource. (Writing or drawing about what you are learning, helps you to understand and consolidate that learning so that it becomes a part of your background knowledge. This knowledge can be used to help you understand other information and make connections between all sorts of situations and events in your life.) Students could also write down any questions the resource brought to mind, and then research these questions on the internet to further develop their researching skills and understanding of the topic.
My purpose for suggesting these sites is not to have my students whip through the resources in a superficial manner, but actually develop meaningful learning skills where information is processed and thought about, not merely glanced at, or sampled, and then considered understood without any further thinking or questioning.
