M & M's Probability Experiment
In this experiment, the students learn about the basics of probability and what happens depending on the sample size. The students predict based on a sample what is in their bag and then find out if the are correct. Then using the actual data the students calculate probabilities based on individual, group and class results. They graph this information as well.
There are questions along with this activity that ask why and get at their thinking. In the end they compare the class results wit

Probability with M&M's
In this class activity, students will use M&Ms to investigate the difference between experimental and theoretical probability. Each student should receive a bag with 50 M&Ms. In the first part of the activity, students calculate the experimental probability by tallying the number of times they choose each color when picking 50 times with replacement. They then count the exact number of each color to determine the theoretical probability. In part 2 of the activity, students compare t

Measurement Hands-on Activity: No Pattern Sewing
Hands-on learning activities enrich the classroom experience and deepen knowledge. This no-pattern sewing activity takes measurement into the realm of practicality. Allows for independent activity, partner or even group work. A sewing station can be set up and groups or pairs can rotate through the station for classrooms with limited sewing machine access. Personal note: It took me about 3.5 hours with two designated sewing machine operators and one teacher who helped with fabric measurements an

Plant Part Tracker Sheet with Writing Prompt
Here is quick lesson plan idea for teaching the edible parts of plants. I have included a narrative writing prompt on the back to integrate writing and science.
The charting meets several CCSS for math and NGSS for science. In addition this is great for challenging and motivating students to add more nutritious plants to their diet or try new foods they might not otherwise. This would make a great collaborative morning meeting plan to share their results and create class charts/data to analyze
