A tool that I would use within my classroom is the OG Live Butterfly Garden. I had this within my classroom when I was in elementary school and I loved it! One way that I would be able to incorporate this into a lesson would be teaching a lesson about life cycles. The students will be able to observe the butterflies and their progress throughout the stages everyday. Another way that I would be able to incorporate this tool into a lesson would be to have my students observe the external characteristics of the butterfly and create inferences about how their external characteristics can help them survive in certain environment.

Students in middle and high school can engage in learning outside of the classroom with this Gale Interactive: Science virtual lab. It is a highly visual online teaching tool that brings the lab to the student to promote visual-spatial learning. It provides students with a virtual simulation experience by combining interactive 3D models and rich digital content. The experience allows zooming in, rotating, and breaking down models to investigate and experiment complex topics. This website is so useful because it gives students the chance to visualize material that may have been only verbally explained in class. In my experience, students learn best when they can make connections for themselves and experience learning, rather than just having information fed to them.

Gloves are a staple of every science lab/classroom. They are crucial to safety; protecting against skin absorption of chemicals, exposure to dangerous substances, and chemical burns. Each student should be well-informed on the importance of wearing gloves and how to properly handle materials. Many experiments require gloves as a safety precaution, which is why I will be sure to keep them in my classroom for science labs and demonstrations.

"Show off Your Science" bulletin boards such as this one are a great way to inspire student learning and achievement. These boards will intrigue future students and allow current students to take pride in their work. In addition, past students whose work is still posted have the chance to reminisce on exciting experiments and interesting things they had learned. I would use a "Show off Your Science" board in my classroom each quarter by taking photos of my students big projects in order to capture their hard work and excitement. Hopefully this board will be a daily reminder to students that my classroom is a fun place to enjoy and celebrate learning.

A tool that I would use in my future science lessons is a heat lamp. A heat lamp is a science tool that can be used in multiple different ways throughout different styles of lessons and learning. Heat laps are used to warm up an object or melt an object. For example, a teacher may use a heat lamp to prove ice melts and turns into water. A teacher can also use a heat lamp to represent the sun in a solar system process if demonstrated correctly.

A science tool I would use in my classroom is a bucket balance scale. A bucket balance scale can be used in multiple science lessons, such as asking students to figure out which side is heavier, which side is lighter-the notions of "more and less." The bucket balance scale engages students' curiosity through an exploration of figuring out which side is heavier and which side is lighter by sorting everyday objects by its weight. A measurement activity can be used with a variety of objects that students can experiment with, such as rocks, seashells, buttons and twigs, etc. Additionally, the bucket balance scale can also be a lesson about gravity and how when more weight is placed on one side more than the other gravity will pull that side down.

A tool that I feel could be helpful for multiple science lessons would be a globe. You could pick a place on the globe and explore the different animals that live there and why they can survive there. You can explore the weather that is experienced in the place you chose and why that weather is experienced in this part of the world. You can explore the different kind of land and bodies of water that is found at the place you chose. You can explore all these lessons all over different parts of the world. You can relate this to your students by allowing them to choose the place that their family is from. This will allow you to pull in diversity and multiple representation of different cultures. You can have students compare and contrast the different places you explore and maybe why certain animals are found in one place, but not the other.

"Mad About Science" is a great bulletin board that I look forward to one day using in my future classroom! The scientist in the middle is supposed to represent the teacher. Then, all around the board the teacher adds pictures of her class engaging in different science experiments/activities throughout the year.  Allowing students to see pictures of themselves engaging in these experiments makes the bulletin board even more meaningful to them. It allows them to connect and remember the things they learned throughout the year. You could also open this up to students to contribute to the board. Have them bring in pictures of them engaging in science at home! It allows for creativity and allows them to connect science to their personal life!

# data[].attributes.body
"Tools of Science" is a great bulletin board I would use in my future classroom! I like how the bulletin board highlights key science vocabulary terms, the actual tools that are on the board rather than a photo and students can interact with the bulletin board by touching the different items as a hands-on learning experience. Also students can be given the opportunity to velcro different cards under the different tools. The different card titles are Name It! Define It! Ask About It! and Connect It! Additionally, this bulletin board can be a great way to generate a class discussion about science safety and refer back before a science experiment to remind students of science safety and throughout a science lesson to look back on key vocabulary words and its definition. I believe this bulletin board will be useful in any classroom for elementary students!

Science of games | Fun with science games

This page contains links to interactive science games of a wide variety. Children can practice any science skill with any game of their choice. The games are fun and have an educational component to each. These games can be played in the classroom as science tests or at home to review just about any skill. We have games on geography for children, biology games, chemistry games, astronomy games and more. Some of the games children will play here include: pirate games, word search puzzles, snakes and ladders games, crocodile game, war zone game, zombie game, basketball science games and more. The games are so much fun; take the example of the crocodile game - children get to answer science questions on a given topic, roll the dice and move the number of spaces shown by the dice. The outcome of the dice is not always certain hence there is the chance that players fall on uncomfortable spots where they may be asked to go back to start or be eaten by a crocodile. The pirate game collection is actually based on a pirate battle at sea in which two pirates aim at and shoot at each other's ship. During the course of the battle, children answer questions and select the correct answers. The zombie board game is based on a similar concept like the two earlier mentioned games. The main difference is that the main obstacles on the way are the zombies that are ready to attack. Children too are required to roll a dice in order to move spaces forward. There are also science puzzles online; the word search puzzle games are a good example. Students are expected to find missing words (often vocabulary on a particular subject) within the puzzle. Also check out our science worksheets section to complement the skills learned here. These games are free and always online. Children in year 1 science, year 2, year 3, year 4, year 5, year 6 and year 7 will also find these resources interesting. Stay tuned for more games.

These online science games will satisfy your child's curiosity. These games introduce children to scientific concepts in an understandable way and promote understanding with engaging and stimulating activities. When combined with traditional teaching methods, interactive science games can create a unique learning experience. Ecosystemforkids has a wide selection of science games for kids that cover topics such as weather, animals, the human body, photosynthesis, landscapes and life cycles. You will find that our games engage and captivate your child. This makes learning a memorable experience.

Class Appropriate Games

Ecosystemforkids's games are designed with a grade level in mind. They are also suitable for classroom individual and group exercises. This way, children learn at the right grade level and the subject matter is not too difficult. This makes the games both challenging and fun. And learning is achieved during the process.

To catch your child's attention, the animations are colorful and bright. With science games that offer multiple difficulty levels, your child will not get bored. They will learn about animals, plants and matter, but also about sounds, matter, body parts, insects, reptiles and the solar system.

Improved memory and concentration games

These interactive games can help improve your child's concentration. These games require concentration due to the fact that some have timers. Many games, such as pirate board games, are about training memory and speed. To match a mother and her baby, this game requires your child to turn over cards and answer questions. Your child may not even realize it's an educational activity as they progress through the science games. You can watch your child play and discuss it with them. After playing for a few minutes, you may be amazed at the detailed answers your child will give you.

Children's science games: What can be learned?

Science games are a fun way for students to learn scientific concepts and knowledge. Learning becomes a fun activity that students return to again and again to practice their skills and retain important concepts. You will be amazed at the variety of concepts they will learn by doing so.

How to learn about animals through animal games

Students begin with basic animal identification and then move on to developing identification and classification concepts. Students learn about animal groups and the characteristics that make an animal belong to that group. This knowledge is essential for formal taxonomic classification. Learning about animals also includes understanding what animals eat, their habits, and where they live. Some distinct external features also make one organism different from the next.

Some games about plants

Most children learn the basics of the life cycle of plants by studying diagrams. Classifying the different types of plants is also an important part of their understanding of flora species. Students learn everything they need to survive, from flowers to vines. The learning process also includes basic identification of the different plants.

The human body and its parts learned through games

There are loads of fun games on human body parts and their functions. Students begin by identifying body parts and learning the names of the body parts. Students learn about the entire body from the inside out. The body is an incredible structure that allows us to live and thrive. Anatomical knowledge is important to understand how each part should be cared for.

Games that teach weather facts

The study of weather and seasons begins with identifying the four seasons. Students learn about the months and types of weather and the changes and weather associated with them. Students learn how the seasons change as we move from north to south across the globe. Observe the weather outside each day so children understand the concept and purpose of rain and clouds. Students may be interested in more extreme weather, such as natural disasters. Learning about the water cycle is an important part of this section. There is an interactive labeling game on the life cycle.

The concept of the food chain learned through games

The way our ecosystem works has a lot in common with food chains and the great cycle of life. Students learn more about the world by studying organisms, from the largest mammals to the smallest amoebae. Understanding the structure will allow students to see themselves as part of the structure of this planet. In the food chain green plants are the main producers of food through the process of photosynthesis.

Learn different concepts related to the Earth and natural resources

The Earth has several mechanisms that are interrelated in the way they operate. Students learn about the world and its structure, from rocks to natural resources. Children will be fascinated by the layers of the Earth, oceans, and waterways. They will also learn how landforms are formed, especially when volcanoes and earthquakes are included.

Science games can help expand your students' understanding of the world and give them a platform to explore any topic that interests them. For this purpose, we have created loads of earth science related games using the different game templates.

Materials and their properties

Through the games in this section, students will learn about the texture of materials and how they differ from one object to another. Through such games, students will understand just by looking at pictures the nature of the materials that were used to create each item.

A tool that I would like to use in my future classroom is magnetic wands. Magnetic wands are incredibly easy for elementary school students to be able to use on their own, and can help make it fun for students to learn many important science lessons. One lesson students can engage in with the magnetic wands is a lesson on what is magnetic and what is not. For example, students can stick their wands into multiple bins in stations around the room. Different items will be in each bin, such as mini erasers, paper clips, cut-up paper, hair clips, etc. Students can stick their magnetic wands into each bin, and record on a sheet whether the item is magnetic or not. Students can also use magnets to explore the concepts of magnetic polarity and magnetic fields.

I was drawn to this "Science is Sky Land Space and Sea" bulletin board because it shows how multidimensional science really is. It allows students to see all in one place how science is all around us. Discussing the bulletin board would be an excellent opening to any kind of science lesson. The board can be referred to often. For example, on a lesson about planets, a student volunteer can go to the board and point which location the day's lesson takes place in. Science makes up the entire world we live in, and that bulletin board is not only cute and creative for an elementary classroom, but shows all places science takes place in our every day lives.

A tool I would like in my classroom would be a magnify glass. Magnifying glasses are optional devices used for viewing details of objects with magnification.
Magnify glasses can be used for multiple science lessons, including during experiments and activities. For instance, when observing properties of matter with observable properties, students can use magnify glasses to see the objects from a closer lens. Students can use magnify classes to see the refraction of light passing through the glass. Students could even use magnify glasses to observe similarities and differences between different objects (particles of sand vs rock specimens) or other objects. Students can connect lessons and how they can use magnify glasses in diverse ways.

"The What's the Matter" is a bulletin board I would like to have in my future class. This bulletin board is a great way to allow students to use their sensory experiences to learn about matter. Teachers can use this bulletin before, during or even after scientific lessons based on matter. Students are able to come up to the bears and feel the different objects on the two hands displayed on the board. Students will then open the ziplock bag attached to the board and find which word describe how the object feels. Students will choose the correct word from the bad and attach it to the correct velcro spot (above the correct finger). Students can complete both of the hands or allow other peers to fill out the rest of the board. Teachers can even use this board to allow students to write down their knowledge about matter before the lesson begins. Students can stick their post-it notes about what they know about matter on the boarder of the bulletin board. After the lesson about matter, the teacher can allow students to remove their post-it notes, and create new post-it notes about their one sentence take aways. Students can write what they learned about matter and place their post-it note on the boarder of the bulletin board. This board is a great way to help students review matter throughout the whole year. This will be a great reminder to remind students to use their five senses during observations.

A tool I would like to use and have in my future classroom are beakers. Beakers can be used for multiple science lessons, including during experiments and activities. Beakers can be used to hold water or other liquid substances. For instance, during a lesson on how animals stay warm, one beaker could have fur around it, while the other beaker does not. This will show that the temperature of water in the beaker with fur was warmer. Beakers can also help students measure water. Beakers can be used to pour a certain amount of liquid substance into a flask, or other object. Beakers can also teach students the states of matter: solid, liquid, gas. For instance, placing a solid ice cube in a beaker, having it change to liquid water, and heating the beaker to turn the liquid water into gas. Beakers are useful for many different science lessons and will promote learning and engagement for students, as it also provides a hands-on learning experience!

"The Scientific Method" is a bulletin board I would have in my future classroom. This bulletin board provides the important steps students should know when performing experiments. Students should ask a question, create a hypothesis, make observations, conduct an experiment, and write a conclusion. Each step is supplemented with visuals as well. This bulletin board acts as a reference for students to refer to when conducting an experiment in the classroom.

The picture on the right is something I would do/use to have students involved in the classroom. This would allow students to feel a part of the classroom. Rather than doing an actual image of famous scientist, Albert Einstein, I would take pictures of my students and put their faces in cut outs of Einstein. I would then place these on the bulletin board, around the steps of an experiment.

A tool I would like in my classroom that could be useful in multiple science lessons is a microscope. A microscope can be used in an abundance of lessons, such as teaching how to identify and classify cells via magnification, use the magnification formula creating the intersection of math and science, comparing and contrasting light, and the role of different stains and dyes in being able to properly observe specimens. Microscopes can be used in an abundance of science topics, including but not limited to biology, earth science and chemistry. The use of microscopes can allow students to draw connections between what is taught in the classroom to what they experience in the outside world, such as identifying different sizes of organisms and how it relates to the size of the earth, how to think scientifically via the scientific method, and having a microscope in the classroom could provide an introduction to other forms of scientific tools that are similar to the microscope such as a telescope. The microscope would promote learning, curiosity,  and engagement in students, as the microscope will provide hands-on experiments that can be carried out.

This is a great way to have students interact in a current lesson if they are too shy to ask a question with the attention of the whole class. This can allow them to still ask their questions without feeling shy. This is also a great way as the teacher to gage how your students are understanding the lesson. This could also be changed for each different topic you used and replace the beaker with different objects for students to interact with all year long.
