5 easy Easter science experiments you need to try! It’s Easter time, and it may also be test prep season at your school. The best way to incorporate the two, and have good substantial science activities is by infusing some good content into the mix. One of my least favorite things is wasting time with useless science experiments, stem challenges, and lessons that are seemingly fun but don’t address any of the learning goals or standards my students need.

Culturally responsive and sustaining teaching needs to underlie and guide all our classroom practices, write Ferlazzo and Sypnieski. When we validate the cultural learning tools that diverse learners bring, we can leverage them to produce positive outcomes for all students. The post Culturally Responsive and Sustaining Teaching first appeared on MiddleWeb.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Mississauga, ON Organs are made up of tissues and groups of cells and contain different types of functions. They serve various purposes in the human body. But we often wonder, how do people who lack important organs continue to live as healthily as possible? We can only think of and develop one logical answer: not all organs are necessary for survival.

– New York, NY Digital devices can provide users with a vast amount of information and an easy means of communication with others, so the presence of these devices in the daily lives of many is almost constant. Despite this, prolonged screen time can be harmful. It is important to recognize the drawbacks of screen time and implement ways to ensure devices are being used effectively.

Seattle, WA Cloning is the method for making exact genetic copies of cells or organisms. Clones are not only created in labs, but are also found in nature. Some examples of this are identical twins, who share the same DNA, and bacteria that reproduces by making exact replicas of itself. In 1996, one of the major breakthroughs in cloning was the creation of Dolly the Sheep, the first cloned mammal.

WRITTEN BY CONNOR WHITE. Wormholes are hypothetical tunnels through space and time connecting two separate locations. These wormholes would create a shortcut in space-time, that would get something from point A to point B without having to travel the full distance. Physicists theorize that they would be caused by two large masses attracting each other from separate places in the universe, or even completely different universes (Figure 1).
