This activity requires students to select the rhythm they hear. Each rhythm is 1 measure and there are 10 questions with audio. This resource is a Google Form. It is designed as a mini activity to be used within a larger lesson plan. It can also be used in a virtual/distance learning situation.
Project Summary
In this lesson students will learn about electromagnetic energy through a female engineer who invented frequency hopping that is used by so many devices we use daily. Students will explore and solve a real world problem by designing a device to block or build a stronger Wi-Fi signals. Each team will record their work with Flip.
Driving Questions / Scenario (what are we trying to solve or improve?)
What is the electromagnetic spectrum?
Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum does Wi-Fi use?
What materials do you think will block a Wi-Fi signal? What materials do you think will let a Wi-Fi signal pass through?

Sc- - 6.P.1 Understand the properties of waves and the wavelike property of energy in earthquakes, light and sound. 6.P.3 Understand characteristics of energy transfer and interactions of matter and energy.
ISTE - 1.1.b, 1.2.b, 1.3.d, 1.4.a-d, 1.5.b, 1.6.d,1.7.d, 1.7.c
In this lesson, students use their knowledge of sound energy to create a soundproof box to protect a secret code word! Students measure and graph decibels to determine how well their boxes omit sounds!
In this lesson students create large story maps to retell and familiar text. Students record themselves and place QR codes along the story map. Students then code Sphero Robots, dressed as main characters, to make their way through each part of the story.
Class project with rubric writing and using systems of equations.
In this lesson, students will expand their understanding of bees and their roles. After reading a short set of poems, students will discuss and record how each of the bee roles impacts pollination. Then using available devices or paper, guided by a rubric, students will create a digital art piece of bees and hives then they record their understanding of bees’ roles. Finally, in a gallery walk, students will provide I SEE, I THINK, I WONDER critical feedback to peers either with dry-erase markers on white tables or sticky notes.
students with hearing loss describe themselves for self advocacy presentation about their hearing loss, hearing history, accommodations,etc...
This is a fun game or warm up activity to complete with students over Zoom or Google Hangout platforms for live video interaction. You could also upload it to SeeSaw and have students post pictures of their items!
