Learning can occur through work, play and other life experiences. Accomplished teachers include plenty of hands-on learning experiences, especially in science and math, to ensure student understanding of new and unfamiliar concepts. Hands-on learning can also be used to drive assessment so that teachers can measure both factual knowledge and comprehension. The NBCTs represented in these videos demonstrate hands-on learning with manipulatives and experiments as they develop conceptual knowledge. For more information on hands-on learning, go to:
Education Review-Brief Reviews gives them the energy to teach and what have succesfully learned to put energy intotheir teachers and school librarians in reading comprehension activities. http://www.ed.asu.edu/edrev/brief/sept01.html
Extractions: home reviews > brief reviews, september 2001 The proper way to begin this review would have been to share one of my favorite poems as a centerpiece around which to frame my comments and share my understanding of this book. Poems, however, come hard to me. Not so for Flynn and McPhillips who share with their readers a deep dialogue about poems, writing poems, and teaching poems. Flynn and McPhillip's book is structured around the various techniques and methods poets use to create poems and the ways readers can enjoy poems (finding the image, listening to the sounds of words, making lists, revision, connecting to the spiritual, etc.). Each of their eleven chapters begins with a poem that illustrates a given concept and around which the discussion evolves and focuses. The authors expand the discussion into instruction by providing four example mini lessons for each poem/concept. The mini lessons are complete with descriptions of how the lessons worked in real life writing workshops and samples of student work they generated. Teachers looking for ways to bring in-depth inquiry into their elementary and middle school level poetry writing workshops will find Flynn and McPhillip's text a deeply thoughtful and engaging book. Teachers who simply want to become more comfortable with poetry and find good, solid models of ways to teach it will find what they are looking for and much more.
TEACH IRRESPONSIBILITY LAWS AGAINST CONSENSUAL activities teach IRRESPONSIBILITY If people spent halfas much mental energy finding a way to keep an unfortunate occurrence from http://www.mcwilliams.com/books/aint/213.htm
Extractions: Escape from Freedom IRRESPONSIBILITY IS AS old as mankind—literally. When God asked Adam, "Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?" Adam answered, "The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it." Note the dual layer of irresponsibility: Adam blames not only Eve, he also blames God for putting her with him. Irresponsibility is as old as womankind, too. After God heard Adam's rational lies, he turned to Eve and asked, "What is this you have done?" And Eve responded, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." (Modern translation: "The devil made me do it!") It seems that the buck never stops in Eden. It's amazing that the serpent didn't blame its upbringing, claim it was high on drugs, or simply plead insanity. At the very least, the serpent could have argued that it was only following its religious beliefs. But responsible or not, God punished them all, and so here we all are today. Did you ever notice how disarming it is when people take responsibility and how irritating it is when they blame? If people spent half as much mental energy finding a way to keep an unfortunate occurrence from happening again as they spend on finding reasons why (a) what happened wasn't so bad, or (b) "It wasn't my fault," the world would be a lot better off.

Extractions: Super Secondary School Invitational at 2000 Annual Meeting by Mary Rose Szoka de Valladeras Students from the Heights School in Maryland and the Nysmith School for the Gifted in Virginia, both middle schools, participated in the Secondary School Invitational at the U.S. Hydrogen Meeting. As part of the activities, students made their own fuel cells from cardboard, styrofoam, pipe cleaners, and yarn, then combined them into stacks. T T he genesis of the Secondary School Invitational was the Dr. Bob Show. Inspired by the experience of lifetime professional educator Dr. Robert Reeves, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Hydrogen Program created the Dr. Bob Show in 1996 to teach students about the properties and potential of hydrogen. M.R.S. Enterprises expanded the Dr. Bob Show into the DOE/NHA Secondary School Invitational. It has been a great pleasure to serve as host for this fun-filled event, now in its fourth year of production. T I n 2000, middle school students from the Nysmith School for the Gifted in Virginia and the Heights School in Maryland participated in the Invitational, along with their teachers Diane Carlivati (Nysmith) and Andy Reed (Heights).

Extractions: The Solar Schools Program More photos of student projects The City of Berkeley, in conjunction with Berkeley EcoHouse and Rising Sun Energy has created a successful solar program for middle-and high school students in Berkeley schools. Students participate in hands-on activities that teach them the basics of solar energy, from thermal energy and energy transmission to converting light into energy using photovoltaic cells. The curriculum also give students the world view: how people in other countries deal with the problems of energy. Students are introduced to several global environmental problems, and conduct research and design solar solutions for these problems. One example is understanding some of the causes and effects of global warming. Realizing that heating water uses significant energy, students use their math skills to calculate how much hot water they can generate using a solar collector of a certain size, and the resulting fuel saved. Another example is that of desertification in hot climates. Students design solar cookers that can cook enough food for a family meal. They then calculate how much time and energy is saved from wood-gathering activities, how much carbon dioxide is prevented from being released into the atmosphere from burning wood, and how many trees are spared, preserving the habitat for native species.

You're sure to see the results of daily reinforcement in end-of-year test results too! Included: Education World highlights a couple dozen Web sites that are perfect resources for developing activities to reinforce needed skills on a daily basis! One of my last years as a classroom teacher opened my eyes to the value of daily skills reinforcement. That year, all third graders in the school system I taught in were tested in the spring. The third graders were first given a test to determine their abilities, then a battery of skills tests. The skills test scores were compared with ability test scores to determine whether students were working up to their ability levels. When the results came in, my class was the only third-grade class in the school system (we're talking more than 30 third-grade classes in a mid-size Connecticut city) in which every student was working at or above his or her ability level in the math and language portions of the tests.

Extractions: Energy Cycle The Energy Cycle is a bicycle-powered generator that teaches basic concepts about energy production, conversion, and conservation. Students pedal the bike and become a "power plant" that generates electricity. They experience and compare the energy (effort) needed to power incandescent and compact florescent light bulbs, fans, blow dryers, and a radio. This activity leads to discussions about wise energy use and practical tips for saving energy at home and at school, as well as how our energy use affects the environment. Use the Energy Cycle in schools for a one to two hour lesson or for several lessons throughout a unit, and at events like street and county fairs, Earth Day events, and 4-H gatherings. Utilities find that the cycle is an effective interactive display at trade shows to promote their energy efficiency programs. The Energy Cycle complements the Midwest Renewable Energy Association's Sun Chaser, our portable solar power system designed to teach about solar electricity production. Energy Cycle User Fees Travel Expenses : Users either provide their own transportation for the cycle or cover all transportation costs incurred in transport @ $0.75/ mile.
