title	Cool Science for Curious Kids
description	If you are a teacher in the early grades, who is looking for projects or activities in science, then this may be the site for you. The site consists of five projects: Air junk (an experimental approach to studying air borne particles); Critters (a compare and answer set of identifications of five organisms); Plant-Parts (correctly identify the part of the plant illustrated and it is added to a salad you are making); Butterflies (a how-to-make a butterfly in a chrysalis project with a simplified life cycle illustrated); and Inch Square (using an inch square opening in a card board to observe a variety of objects and describe them). The exercises range from the experimental to the observational, providing opportunities to ?target? your students. Since the projects are from a variety of outside sources (generally various children museums) the complexity and completeness varies with each option.

Autism Spectrum Toolbox

You have your new class list in your hands. A new year and a brand new set of students is an exciting and sometimes stressful time of each year for educators. What kind of learning styles will you see? Are you going to have new behavior issues that will throw you for a loop? What will really work to engage your students this year? Although most classes include a range of skill levels and learning types, this range can be increased for those mainstream teachers with students identified on the autism spectrum. How can we best serve these children so the school year can be productive and meaningful for all the students and the teacher? More...
