This visual is a bit wordy for my students to look at. I am wondering if the actual calculation/plug ins could be showed a on a separate visual

Great point! See the new version, using symbols instead of numbers

If students answer the last question "one sinks and one floats," you can follow up with "what if both sunk? How could you tell which one is more dense?"

Stephen

One answer to the above question might be, "the one that sinks faster is more dense."

4th Grade TEKS mentions Relative Density directly. Can we get a lesson about the relationship between water and objects?

The Word Wall Card for this visual is somewhat problematic to put on a word wall in a culturally responsive classroom. Is there a way to change it to make it feel more inclusive?

Stephen Fleenor

Good point! Added a diversity of modern humans to show that we all descend from the same ancestors. I also updated the visual to include the latest renderings of our ancestors.

I used this visual with my classes and it really helps students to focus and make inferences. Engaging and fun when we pick popsicle sticks to randomize respondents.

My students might need to see an example of an element that is made up of two identical particles bonded together like O2. It may look like a compound but it is still considered one. This is expected knowledge for 8th grade science students.

Stephen Fleenor

Thank you Kristi, this is a really good point! I made this change for 8th Grade and for 7th Grade.

The picture for sodium is incorrect. It is a pile of sodium chloride, which would be a compound, not the element sodium.

You are right - that is just bad image searching on my part. Made the change.

This visual could be improved by putting the Inhibitor obstructing the active site as a competitive inhibitor and another picture as a non competitive

The visual makes it look like the temperature goes down in an exothermic reaction, when it actually goes up.

This visual could be improved by removing the guiding question about Earth's shadow. The lunar cycle does not depend on the Earth's shadow (except during a lunar eclipse).

Yeah, big mistake! Thanks for catching that!

The biological definition of a non-living thing is something that does not and has not have had life. Thus, the mouse would not fit in that category.

The plant and the elephant crossed out makes a double negative and difficult for kids this age to understand. Thanks!

Really great points. I think the adjustments I made should be less confusing - plus I added air and soil.

Ah thank you! I've never used a voltmeter and it shows! I've updated the Word Wall visual and will release the updated visual and lesson plan with our next round of updates in early July. Let me know if anything looks off with what I did. Thanks again!
