This is a fun interactive game that allows students to practice their addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts.

Students use balloons to perform several simple experiments to explore static electricity and charge polarization.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach third graders about finding and completing the number patterns.

This is a story about a potato…not any type of potato though. A potato who sits in the exact same spot on the couch every day using all of his devices (tv, phone, video games, etc). It’s a perfect life until the power goes out one day, and he has to find other things to do. He learns that he needs to have a balance between screen time and activities in the real world. Your job as an engineer is to design a gadget that will remind the potato when he needs to ditch the screens and get up and move. (You must incorporate your iPad.)

After you determine what toppings you can put on your salad, the Cafeteria Manager wants to hear from you. What are the pros and cons of the Salad Bar? Be sure to offer any suggestions. You feedback is greatly appreciated.

The goal of this task is to work on finding multiples of some whole numbers.
