This is an amazing poster I found online to talk about the various bones in the body. So cool!
Enjoy!
Solids, Liquids, Gases, and Root beer?

This one is pretty self-explanatory. It is such a fun, and tasty way to teach about he states of matter!
Enjoy!

This is obviously a bulletin board, but I couldn't resist posting it because I love the way it's done! I think this teacher did a great job creating a visual for a topic that can be very abstract. There isn't much description on how it was done, but one can infer what each of the pieces are. This is only one of thousands of ways to arrange a board like this, and the link that goes with this picture has many other bulletin boards from -I'm assuming- the same teacher. Be sure to check those all out!
Enjoy!The Solar System is edible?
You read that right! This is a blog post I found from a mother who home schools her four children. She had them make some chocolate cookie dough, then bake it with a piece of vanilla dough dyed yellow in the center (representing the sun) then had them make orbit lines around the outside of the sun using the rest of the vanilla dough. Then when it was finished baking, the kids chose M&Ms and other candies for each of the planets. They even put brown sprinkles in between Mars and Jupiter to represent the asteroid belt! While the mother admits that the scientific accuracy of this project was skewed in order to make the solar system fit onto a cookie, it still turned out adorable! This could be a great classroom project if each student had their own mini version. *Always be sure to check for allergies before doing anything like this* I posted a few pictures from her project on my blog, but be sure to visit her page her project to see the whole breakdown!

The Scientific Method
I found this great idea for a bulletin board! It explains the scientific method on a large scale so students can really understand it. It provides an easy to follow visual, with pictures to help students remember each step. I love this idea! It could even be put onto a poster if a bulletin board wasn't available, or after that lesson had been covered that way, students could still refer to it. The blog that this came from has other great things too, so be sure to check that out!

Weather Model

It's a great visual to teach a concept, like weather, that can sometimes be abstract.
Enjoy!What's the weather?

Ok yes, I do love weather, so this visual was right up my alley! This website doesn't include a template so I plan to make one someday. Otherwise you can just make your own. This is just a bunch of scrapbook paper and the arrows are printed and glued onto clothespins! I love it!
Another great thing about this is everything is all in one place, you don't have to store a bunch of little cut out clouds, snowflakes, whatever. Plus the simplicity of the clothespins means that students can adjust them depending on the weather! It's a great way to start the morning that gets kids involved!
Enjoy!
How far from the sun?
This activity looks like so much fun! It's a great way for students to visually see how far each planet is from the sun. This teacher had her students make models of the planets -probably out of paper mache- and then attach a piece of toilet paper to represent the distances from the sun!

Unfortunately, I don't know exactly how much toilet paper was used for each one, but I'd say students can figure it out if they're given the distances.
Enjoy!
