Electric Circuits Leveled GATE Project
This is a culminating project for a 4th grade physical science unit about electric circuits. For the first part of the project, students complete a GATE frame about electric circuits. There are two levels-one has specific questions imbedded in the frame (easier) and one frame has only the icons, therefore leaving the concept more open-ended (more difficult).That GATE frame (half a page) should be cut and trimmed to fit on the back of the large diagram of a light bulb. (I mounted the light bul

Position Time Lesson
This Google Slide presentation includes Pear Deck slides. Provided are four examples of different position time graphs with detailed explanations of how the PT graph relates to the velocity and acceleration of the object being represented. We relate PT graphs to the Rate of Change (the derivative) of the line. Rate of change is explained as slope and is touched on again, briefly, in these slides.I found that this method of teaching Position Time graphs was the most effective method with my Fresh
