Here is an Interactive Google Slides activity for reviewing concepts and vocabulary related to TEK 3.9A (observe and describe the physical characteristics of environments and how they support populations and communities within an ecosystem). There are a whopping 39 slides to this activity with a variety of tasks including: class discussion, drag and drop, Check boxes, short answer, etc. This activity was designed to be a whole group teacher lead activity. It would be extra fantastic on a SMART board. Below are a few example slides.
Here are 3 activities that have students read about some super cool cross curricular topics then answer vocabulary questions based on what they read. These activities all cover important people from history including impactful leaders and Innovators from several different cultural backgrounds. These activities are on Google Slides and designed to be posted in Google Classroom or teacher led in front of class. Students will use text boxes, and line or shape tools to answer the questions. Oh and I through in a bonus 4th activity over inferencing and revising and editing because that is always a need as well I know.

Can you make me a video of all my class photos for the year and put them to these songs? That is a question I get a lot, especially toward the end of the year. So here is your detailed walk through on how you may easily do this now with Canva. We will look at how to use Canva to make a video slide show of our class photos. We’ll use templates with animations and transitions. Customize the graphics and text. We will look at how to add music. We will also look at how to design our own photo slide templates instead of using those already in Canva. It’s SUPER easy and you should be able to make a huge video to share with your class or school in about ten minutes. You could also embed videos on to these slides if photos are too 1998 for you. Canva will set the slide time to the length of your imbedded video. Also if you have your own song files you may use those instead of Canva’s songs through the Uploads menu.

You may use which ever slides you wish, make a copy of the activity first and delete the slides you don’t want before assigning.
Need to get your students practicing a little two step problem solving that include multiplication, division, AND even a little interpreting remainders!?!? Then come on down to Battle Bots Warehouse! Where you get more battle bots for less money and more math practice with less tears! Multiplication: Students must determine how many battle bots were sold on a particular day then figure out the total sales based on that day’s market price.
Division: Students must determine how many robots need to be ordered to replenish stock in the warehouse. Then they must divide to calculate how many cases of each robot they need to order. There will be a remainder which must round up to the next whole case number.
Let’s make an entire battle bots lesson out of this.
