Paper Clips Starter Do: Say: All living creatures are made up of cells. Today we are going to look at what those structures are and how they function, all while building our own three-dimensional model of a cell! Main Do: Stand in front of the class with students close—place the bowl of Jell-o on the covered table's center. Say: Representing our cell we have a bowl of Jell-O. Plant cells have a unique feature called a cell wall. Animal cells do not have this wall. Today, we will be making a plant cell. Which part of our cell represents the cell wall?

Main: Do: Say: To understand what a rhythm is, you must also understand what a beat is. A rhythm and a beat in music are two different things, but they are connected to create and play music. A beat is a steady pulse in the music, similar to the tick-tock of a clock. A rhythm is the length of time between each beat. It is the actual sound of the music. In a song, it is also the same as the words to the song. Say: Understanding rhythm is important when learning how to sing, dance, or play musical instruments. You will now review the difference between a rhythm and a beat and answer some questi...

Main: Say: There are many different ways that you could compare numbers.  You could look at the numbers to see what numbers they are made of and if they have any numbers that are the same.  For example, (write on the board) let’s look at the numbers the numbers 47 and 74.  You can see that they both have a 7 and a 4 in them. You could look at the numbers to see if they are equal, which means that they are the same number.  For example, (write on the board) let’s look at the numbers 13 and 13.  You can see that they are the same number, which means that they are equal.

Say: In this lesson, we will be learning how different sources present information and how people can skewed information to suit their needs. This is something you will often encounter in day-to-day life. One quite commonplace that this happens is in the media, and recently it's been discussed quite heavily. Today we will be dissecting two newspaper articles on the same topic and discussing the differences between them. Once we understand the differences in the text, our next job will be to understand if each text is from a credible source. Main Do: Place both articles on the projector, allow...

Other animals that migrate are whales, elk and antelope. Do you remember why animals migrate?  (Allow the students to answer.) Animals migrate to find food.  Some animals live in places where there is only food that is easy to find for part of the year.  When it gets very cold and snowy or very hot and dry and there is no food, then the animals need to move.  The animals then migrate or move back when the weather improves and they can find food again. Animals also migrate when they are going to have babies.  Animals like to have babies in places that are safe and comfortable.  That mean...
