Science of Hockey - The Exploratorium
Grades
4 to 8In the Classroom
This is the perfect site to use to extend student learning about force and motion while relating them to real-world activities. Break students into small groups to start exploring the different sections. You may want all groups to start with "The Ice" as suggested, and then you can assign or have student groups choose to investigate the other sections. As students investigate the sections they should keep track of what they are learning either by taking notes using a digital tool such as Memo Notepad, reviewed here (tell students to be sure to save the URL to share their notes and questions with you and their peers), or organizing information into a concept map like TUZZit, reviewed here. Once completed challenge students to share their findings with the rest of the groups using an infographic creator such as Canva Infographic Maker, reviewed here. Infographics present difficult information easy to understand format, and Canva has a whole library of templates for you to choose from.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
