Formula Triangles
At last a method has come that can help us learn all those scientific formulas. The strategy includes a triangle that is spilt up into three sections. The variable on the left of the equation (distance= time x speed) goes on top of the triangle and the variables on the right go on the bottom. If the variables on the right both have values then simply multiply them to solve for distance. If the values of the variables are above one another then you divide to solve for the missing value. The following link provides further modeling.

Edible Cells
Food!!! Is there a better way to get children motivated and engaged? Well this strategy plays off the interest of every human being "food". First students are exposed to nonfiction literature on cells. Then they are asked to fill out index cards with what they learned. After that the teacher will discuss what some of the students wrote. Now comes the time to look at cells through a microscope. The students will identify the different parts of a cell as they look through a microscope. Finally comes the time to make cells out of edible materials. This activity is sure to keep your students engaged until the very end.
