Planning- Students work together (usually with a partner or in a small group) to come up with a potential solution for the challenge.

Construction- This is the building stage!

Testing- The students test their designs to see if they have solved the problem, and met the challenge.

Evaluation- The students critique their designs and think about what they might change.

In this product, students will learn about thermal energy. In the beginning of the product, matter is reviewed and how matter can be seen in three different forms - solid, liquid, and gas. Students will then review how matter changes. Thermal energy will be introduced in this product. Students will then discuss the meaning of thermal energy, how heat flows from warmer to colder objects and examples will be provided. Students will then be provided with visual examples to help them understand this process. Students will be provided with thermal energy examples and how heat moves. Students will learn there there are different forms of energy such as light, electrical, mechanical, sound, and chemical, and will learn how all of those forms change to thermal energy. Examples along with pictures are provided. Students will also learn the many ways thermal energy is used throughout out day to day life that we don't think about. Throughout the product, students will be asked comprehension questions that include short answer and multiple choice to ensure comprehension.

Static electricity, also called electrostatics, happens when electric charge builds up on the surface of an object. This charge can be positive or negative. It forms when atoms in a material gain or lose electrons.

When two objects rub against each other, electrons move from one to the other. One object ends up with extra electrons and a negative charge. The other loses electrons and gets a positive charge.

You often feel static electricity when you walk across a carpet and touch a metal object. That tiny shock you feel is static electricity at work!

This helpful e-book includes ten easy experiments that show how static electricity works. You can do all of them safely at home or in the classroom. They only need simple, everyday items.

Each experiment has clear, step-by-step instructions. There is also a short explanation after each one, so young students can easily understand what’s happening.

Have fun exploring the amazing world of static electricity!

Here's your poster set for Simple Machines! There are 8 (18x24) posters here for your classroom! Each poster includes the definition, a picture and how to find the mechanical advantage of the featured machine! The set includes: Inclined Planes, Levers, Wheel & Axle, Pulley, Gears, Wedges, Screws and Force. Great addition to science classroom or a technology lab!!

Have some sorting Transportation Vehicles with this fun Vehicles Sorting Activity! Learners will sort the vehicles based on where the vehicle travels (land, water or air).

The file includes three title cards (land, water and air vehicles), and 8 cards for each category, providing a total of 24 picture cards to sort!

First, introduce the child to the different modes of transportation by using the title cards. Explain to them also how they can identify, for example an aeroplane has wings that allow it to fly, a boat has oars that you can row in the water and so on. The title card includes a picture of the sky, sea and road making sorting even more realistic and easier!
