The great thing about creating lessons for elementary level students is that you can create lessons that weave between subjects, tying together themes, information and skills.
Many of the activities that we've been doing in class are really fun and I think that having fun while learning is the best way to get students interested and maintain their interest!
Here are some resources I've found that I think will help make teaching science fun for my students!
Terrific Science has a about 20 free lessons both for Elementary_primary and Elementary_secondary. Many of the activities relate to social studies, math and literature.
The national science teachers association has a lot of material and resources for teaching science. Since this is month #9 they have a cool video about fluorine (the narrator definitely hits many of the characteristics we all drew in our Draw a Scientist experiment!)
I have found reading other teacher's blogs extremely helpful and super interesting--they cover all kinds of topics, make helpful suggestions and most importantly convey their love of teaching through humor and compassion. They are totally inspiring and recommended!
