Extractions: The following web sites were selected by a middle school classroom teacher. Each site contains activities and/or lesson plans to supplement middle grade (4-8) science curriculum in the areas of earth and space, environmental, general, life, and physical science. The activities were selected because they directly involve students in the process of discovering science concepts through hands on experiences. Most activities can be completed in one classroom session and required materials are commonly found in schools and homes. We hope you find these activities useful and fun.

If you are interested in finding out more about an activity (cuz its just so darn cool) email me. The link is still just below here in the last update. I'll get in touch when I can with the info. And if it's something you really want to do, maybe we can work out getting you the actual hand out! Thanks- TS Latest Update: 10-1-02 Well the submission and guest book pages are good in theory, but they do not work at the moment. So if you have any submissions you'd like to make send them to me at odyssey_uwrf@hotmail.com . Please include Name, School, Subject, Topic, Type of submission, and a description of the submission. Thanks - TS Latest Update: ? There's no date here, since I have no idea when I'm going to get this site up. It's going to be just a hobby for a while. For starters, the physics link has another link to a file I'm adding to. its not sorted out, but is easily run through to look for different ideas in various mechanics areas. There's no Chem yet (yikes) but hopefully i can pull some out! Also the navigation is a work in process. If a link doesn't get you where you wanna go, just hit "back" for now. Thanks for visiting -TS

ACTIVITIES AND REQUIREMENTS: Students are expected to... During Class... 1-Be in your seat and prepared to work when the bell rings. If you are not in your seat when the bell rings you are marked tardy. For each tardy you recieve a 15 minute detention to be served at lunch or before/after school. Each unserved tardy results in 5 points being subtrcted from your grade. 2-A 3-ring notebook, aper, and a pen/pencil MUST be brought to each class meeting. 3-Eating and drinking is not permitted in class. 4-Be RESPECTFUL and SUPPORTIVE of each other's right to learn and teach. Any behavior, which iin the judgment of the teacher, interferes with the learning process in the class is unacceptable.
Content Area/Focus very attention getting, short and useful activities. All of the demos could be usedto start or conclude units in both chemistry and physical science classes. http://collaborative.ucdavis.edu/ss0203/hparker/hpweb/hpassign/hp323A/323ref.htm

The students can feel the contents as well as see and hear it. There is also a common experience that all the students have in the class Reflections I really enjoyed how the candle observations illustrated the difference between observation and inference. I think it is good because when they see their mistakes they are less likely to forget them. October 10, 2002

Extractions: The interpretive demonstration is a type of illustrated program which is fundamentally different from the formal interpretive talk. It relies on the successful integration of interpretive narrative and a specific demonstrated activity (by the interpreter, the audience, or both), for interpretive success. Effective use of objects, crafts, technical and scientific processes, recreation skills, living history, and others allow the interpreter to create opportunities for the audience to form intellectual and emotional connections with the resource. This component includes the essential skills required to integrate the demonstration and interpretive narrative. The component is strongly based on the concepts and philosophy learned in entry-level competencies. Upon completion the learner will be able to: - explain how an interpretive demonstration is different from conducted activities or an interpretive talk; - explain the rationale for selecting the interpretive demonstration as the appropriate technique for delivering a particular interpretive message; - prepare and present an effective interpretive demonstration which integrates narrative and activity.
