FREE SCIENCE LESSON - Plate Tectonics, Plate Boundaries Vocabulary, & Flash Demos Powerpoint

by The Science Vault
7th - 10th Grade
New and Improved! This is a 20 slide powerpoint - 11 slides covering Pangaea, continental drift, and plate tectonics; the focus is on plate boundary interactions and the geological features created at each. Don’t let the short size fool you: there are 10 links on the slides that link to flash animations that will give your students great visuals for the different boundaries. At the end of the powerpoint, there are seven slides with review questions.
Do you find your students turn off their brain and just copy when you use powerpoints? I've found the best way to combat this phenomena is to have the main ideas come in one at a time. For that reason, you will find that my slides have simple, quick powerpoint "actions" so that each big idea comes up when you want it to, with a simple mouse click or tap on your interactive white board. None of the actions are over-powering or distracting so your lesson presents itself in a way that students will focus on the content.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - Call of the Wild - Vocabulary Words with Sentences from Novel

by Mark Welch
7th - 9th Grade
This is a list of 351 vocabulary words from Jack London's novel, The Call of the Wild. Each vocabulary word is shown together with the sentence from the novel in which the word is first used. 
The list is intended as a "starting point" for teachers seeking to extract a meaningful collection of vocabulary words. Obviously, you won't assign all 351 of these words, but instead you'll select words to fit a particular strategy or theme. For example, you might choose words that are related to a theme such as "transformation" or "animal" or "hostility/combat," or you might choose words that illustrate how words can be modified with affixes, or you might choose words which have "an unusual meaning" or "multiple meanings." Theme-related tags appear in brown. (When I taught the novel, I started by calling students' attention to the word "booming," near the start of the first chapter, and elicited their participation to identify multiple relevant meanings.)

FREE MATH LESSON - Math Mania Weekly Math Review

by Sunny Days
1st - 5th Grade



This is a great way to introduce, review and keep skills fresh in the mind of your students. You choose a number of the week and the students use that number to complete 12 essential skills with it each week. I like to use the number of days we have been in school or the date of a student's birthday or holiday.
Each week my students complete the Math Mania activity which is attached to this Notebook file in PDF form. Just open the Notebook file, and look for the paper clip under the gallery. You will find the printable sheet for the students there.
I use this file to introduce the activity to my students as we complete it together the first few weeks of school. 
Eventually, my students complete these activities 
on their own and I use this file to correct it with 
them and address misconceptions.
Skills addressed include
-numbers in word form and expanded form
-odd and even
-rounding
-place value
-fact families
-money
-time
-adding and subtracting
