Resources for Teaching the Periodic Table
Are you gathering resources for teaching about the periodic table of elements?
I included a simple set of sorting activities in my product that introduces students to sorting by attribute.
Then, they can create their own periodic table.
Check out the amazing resources included with the product AND online resources that can make this topic an amazing addition to your science classroom.
Work and Simple Machines
I just posted a great product with resources, including: fun activities, presentations, math worksheets with delightful illustrations, puzzles, a word wall in both English and Spanish, and a simple assessment, and a web page with much more.
I’m sharing some of the best engineering suggestions here.

Plant Structures
It’s getting to be gardening time in our area so I wanted to share plant resources with you.
I found a fabulous short video at PBS about Plant Structures. In addition to the video, there’s a short essay, discussion questions, and a list of science standards.
Check out the other resources I collected for plant structures.
Tic Tac Toe and More!
A familiar game with a new twist.
Use very simple materials to meet the challenge of figuring out strategies for moving markers to get three in a row.
Good luck!
Mastering the Times Tables
