Amusement Park Physics
I had a blast checking out this interactive learning site! It took me several attempts to create a roller coaster that I would love to ride that would not crash…lol This was even before I introduced my son to the site. It has several different areas to explore including bumper cars, pendulums, carousels, and more. Have fun with physics here.
Early American History Timeline Activity and Printables
These are from Laura Candler on her Social Studies Resources page. She instructs to “Be sure to download both pages. Students cut apart the cards and use their textbooks or other research materials to sort them into the correct order. Duplicate 4 copies of the timeline page and have students glue the cards onto the pages in order. Finally, have them write one or two sentences to describe the importance of each event.” Get yours here.
The Chronicles of Narnia ~ Free Audio Podcasts
You can listen free online as Chrissi Hart reads: “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe”, “Prince Caspian”, “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader”, “The Silver Chair”, “The Horse and His Boy”, “The Magician’s Nephew”, and “The Last Battle”. You can also sponsor a transcript and/or buy a copy to download. From what I listened to so far, it is great quality and she is a great reader to listen to. Check it out here.
Free Pencil Portrait Drawing Lessons
There are several lessons here that teach different aspects of drawing portraits in illustrated step by step tutorials. Check it out here.
Nim’s Island Unit Study and Lapbook
Here is a great freebie based on a great book and movie. The science connections include: weather, rainforests, oceanography, volcanoes, zoology, and more. Besides the wonderful science learning opportunities, this unit study and lapbook also includes some great vocabulary, similes, imagery, crafts, and more. This looks like a blast! Get yours here.
Baseball-Themed Hundred Chart
This hundred chart comes with two other printables from Math Coach’s Corner. I really like her blog and the few products of hers that I have checked out personally. She has a great way of explaining how to teach math. Get your printables here.
