This resource is a science driven, easy to use pack to use when investigating all things pumpkin! Pumpkinology is a great way to incorporate kindergarten science standards in a fun, fall themed way.

Cut off the top of a pumpkin and let them scoop out the insides to count seeds, estimate how many counting cubes tall is a pumpkin, how many paperclips will it take to fit around the pumpkin? Will the pumpkin sink or float? What is the life cycle of a pumpkin? Color or use tissue paper to produce a tear art version to create their very own pumpkin.

I use this resource in my classroom on October 31st as part of our fall party! We investigate all things pumpkin and the grand finale is when we carve a face on the pumpkin, add in baking soda, vinegar and green food coloring to make the pumpkin explode (outside of course)! This is a day your students will remember for years to come!

Teachers can use it as a:

• Halloween party and make each investigation a station
• Week long investigation of pumpkin attributes
• Science project to let little learners estimate what they think will happen
• Fall fun pack
• Lesson on the life cycle of a pumpkin

Happy pumpkin investigating!

Looking for a fun and engaging way to teach Java programming? Look no further than "How'd You Make That!? Java Programming Labs: Pong! Designed with increasing levels of difficulty, this lab helps students develop their coding skills step-by-step. Students will create the classic game of Pong!

In Bounce Beginner, students will use the code provided to create the game. Much of the background coding has been done for them so they will be concentrating on creating and using objects and designing the game. To complete this level students need to understand how to use methods and create objects. If you are following my year long curriculum, students should be about to Java 7: Looping Statements.

find it here: https://www.TeachShare.com/Product/Conditional-Logic-Looping-Statements-Programming-in-Java-Course-Lesson-7-11442572?st=6c6d80137b7b90c3f710822ac0fb1d65

At the Paddle Pupil level, students will fill in some provided classes and create their own versions. Some of the lowest level code has been done for them, but they will write most of the game with a skeleton. To complete this level students need to understand anything from the Bounce Beginner level in addition to how to create objects and pass parameters. If you are following my year long curriculum, students should be about to Java 10: Advanced Techniques

find it here: https://www.TeachShare.com/Product/Programming-in-Java-10-Creating-Classes-Advanced-Techniques-11554313?st=169afb79277cd7361882e187f3762588

At the Court Champion level, students will create the game from scratch. This requires them to understand Timers, collision, and how use graphics. Students will be given general direction, but creating the game will mostly be up to them. To complete this level students need to understand anything from the Paddle Pupil level in addition to Timers, collision, and basic use of the extends keyword. If you are following my year long curriculum, students should be about to Java 18: Collision Detection

find it here: https://www.TeachShare.com/Product/Programming-in-Java-18-Collision-Detection-12050305?st=fdb66e1be81e92fbf4d0b050bba21a23

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!

Simple machines have been the building blocks of more complex machines throughout the years. The gear is one of the most fundamental of the simple machines. Gears can help transfer power, increase or decrease speed and/or power, and change the direction of movement by simply working together.

Your students can experience gears through this activity as they build FOUR different gear sets .

1. Understanding how connected gears affect direction.

2. Compound Gear Train - gear input and output on the same side of a wall

3. Reverted Gear Train - input and output gears on same plane, but not directly connected

4. Large Gear Train - demonstrates Mechanical Advantage and directions of gears

Student Friendly! Easy to follow build directions!

Are you looking for a hands-on, inquiry-based lab for your middle school students that covers watersheds and human impact on water supply? Then check this out! In this lab, students will crumple a piece of paper, use markers to draw various landmarks and landforms on the paper, and then spray water over the paper to simulate rain flowing through a watershed. Students will be able to observe how water travels from areas of higher elevation to lower elevation due to gravity. Additionally, students will learn how humans impact the environment by leaving pollution on Earth's surface, which gets transported into the water supply. This lab also includes detailed step by step instructions and post-lab questions.

An answer key is included.

Materials needed: markers, plain paper, spray bottles, and water.
