Few signs of relief in Haiti
The mounting cholera epidemic in Haiti will likely get worse according to Oxfam. Deborah Lutterbeck reports.
How Many Fingers Do You Have? Â Counting to 10
A simple song and finger play to help practice numbers 1 - 10. This is a great resource to introduce and/or review number recognition in the early childhood classroom. (0:51)
My House--Let's Draw A Picture
In this cute video, students will learn to identify the parts of a house. The words include roof, door, window, chimney, sky, sun, cloud, grass, flower, and tree. This is a great resource to introduce and/or review word groups in the early childhood classroom. (1:25)
Beethoven: A Great Loss
Beethoven began to lose his hearing and decided to begin composing. Despite his hearing loss, he was able to compose on the piano by pressing his ear to the keys. In this video clip, learn more about Beethoven and how he did not let his hearing loss affect his music. (1:20)
Airfoils
In this experiment, learners discover how an airfoil creates lift. Learners use simple materials to build an airfoil and test it at different angles to investigate Bernoulli's principle. This activity guide includes questions for drawing conclusions, extensions, and an answer key.
Bernoulli and More Bernoulli
This lesson guide includes six simple and quick activities to help learners better understand Bernoulli's Principle. The guide includes an explanation of the Bernoulli Effect as well as common misconceptions.
Find Your Way Around Without Visual or Sound Cues
In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues. Learners will explore how well the central nervous system is able to estimate position based on information other than visual and sound cues. This lesson guide includes evaluation questions with answers and handouts.
Finding the volume of composite figures
In this video lesson, learn how to find the volume of a garage, which consists of a rectangular prism and a triangular prism. A word problem is given, then the instructor demonstrates how to solve for volume by breaking up the figure into two solid shapes. (4:20)

Oct 30 - New York City streets saw record levels of floodwater, blacking out power to millions of people and bringing transportation to a halt.
In this activity (located on pages 9-14 of PDF), learners visit a cemetery to examine the distinguishing characteristics of rock weathering. After researching stone weathering and acid rain, learners apply their knowledge to collect data related to chemical decomposition and physical disintegration at a cemetery site. This detailed lesson guide includes tips for educators, pre/post activity suggestions, hands-outs, and background information.
Watch video of Anthea Butler, Associate Professor of Religious Studies and the Graduate Chair of Religion, University of Pennsylvania, as she discusses the implications of the reconstuctionist, revisionist history that permeates many conservative and fundamentalist Christian churches and political action organizations.

In this outdoor activity, learners find the swollen bumps known as "galls" on various plants and get a closeup look at the parasitic animals living inside. Galls form on various plants including rosebushes, oaks, elms and willows after a female insect places one or more eggs into the living tissue of a branch or leaf. Learners explore what the galls provide, such as food or protection, as eggs become larvae, and what effects larvae have on their specific host plants.
In this outdoor activity, learners measure familiar objects in nature to practice working with the metric system. The goal is for learners to develop their "metric senses" by measuring and estimating in metric units the mass, length, temperature, and volume of familiar objects. Can be adapted into an indoor activity on a rainy day.
This activity has learners interacting with live crayfish, but could be adapted for a variety of similar hardy and interesting organisms. Instructions are provided for facilitating free and guided observations, including how to make explicit things learners wonder and notice, and sharing them by posting them on index cards. There is extensive background about how to buy and maintain crayfish, along with general "Crayfish Information Cards" for learners.
In this activity, learners collect, arrange, and draw various seeds from smallest to biggest. They also estimate how many of the smallest would fit into the biggest. In addition, learners predict how many seeds they would find inside an apple or lemon, and cut open these fruits to check their prediction against the real seed count. The Did You Know section describes the biggest and smallest seeds on Earth.
