Bring a familiar Aesop fable to life while combining reading, art, math, science, and problem-solving. In this ready-to-use lesson, students listen to or read "The Crow and the Pitcher," discuss the story's meaning and moral, create an original crow puppet, and investigate the crow's solution by predicting and testing how many pebbles are needed to raise the water level. The combination of storytelling, puppet-making, measurement, prediction, and hands-on experimentation gives students several ways to explore how persistence and creative thinking can solve a problem. TeachersFirst's existing listing describes the resource as an interdisciplinary lesson in which students interpret the fable, design a puppet, and make and test predictions about how many pebbles Crow needs to reach the water.

tag(s): counting (58), folktales (34)

In the Classroom

Have students work in pairs to retell "The Crow and the Pitcher" with their handmade puppets, then challenge each pair to explain how the crow's actions reveal the story's moral. Invite small groups to compare different problem-solving strategies from the fable and organize their ideas with Venn Diagram Creator by Canva, reviewed here, creating a visual comparison of solutions.

Google Maps is a free mapping tool for exploring places, planning trips, and understanding the relationships between locations. Search for an address, landmark, or business, then zoom in and out or switch to Satellite view to explore imagery of the area. Where available, use Street View's yellow Pegman icon to explore panoramic views of streets and surroundings. These images are not live, and their age and coverage vary by location. Google Maps also helps users find nearby businesses, schools, parks, and other points of interest, get directions, and share locations or routes. A free Google account lets you save favorite places and organize them into lists. The service works in a web browser and is available as a free app for Android and iOS. On a computer, supported maps can be embedded in websites using the sharing menu. For creating custom maps with markers, layers, and imported location files, use the related Google My Maps tool.

tag(s): DAT device agnostic tool (134), directions (7), maps (222)

In the Classroom

If you teach geography, this one's a must. It is also helpful for showing students WHERE a story or news event takes place. In lower grades, use it to show students the basics of their community. Teach map skills by showing students their own community. Zoom in on their street or on the school. This site and its more sophisticated cousin, Google Earth, are great on an interactive whiteboard. Set up a class Google account (or use student accounts if permitted). Have students create their own custom route plans to tour historic sites. Challenge math students to plan the most economical route to visit several vacation destinations, including gas mileage and gas prices. Have students create placemark files of the important places in the life of a famous person or the route traveled by a particular unit during the Civil War. Have student groups create placemarker files to show environmental sites, habitats, landforms, or anything you can place on a map. Embed projects in a class wiki using the handy embed code offered as a sharing option. Not comfortable with wikis? Check out TeachersFirst Wiki Walk-Through.

Make this virtual jigsaw puzzle site available for those inevitable moments of "downtime" in the classroom. Choose a topic from the gallery (preferably one that relates to your curriculum), select a level of difficulty (number of pieces), and start the challege. These puzzles are not only a lot of fun, but good exercises for developing spatial skills. The pop-ups are annoying but can be blocked by Windows XP. Allow time for the site to load. Check the Frequently Asked Questions link (at the bottom of the page)for troubleshooting if you are having difficulty making the puzzles work.

tag(s): puzzles (177)

In the Classroom

Combine a brain-warming activity with a bit of review, and create your own jig-saws for students to solve! First, access the section entitled "Turn your photos into puzzles," and select an image pertinent to a specific unit and upload it to the site. Once the jigsaw puzzle has been created, have students open the puzzle on individual computers and compete to see who can get the best time putting the image back together! The best images to use would be diagrams, or model images of a particular object. This site works amazingly well for science classes were students need to be familiar with specific images. An example would be have anatomy students re-construct skeletal images, etc. A clever way to get their minds thinking!

Bring energy and water conservation out of the textbook and into students' homes with GetWise, the online resource for LivingWise'®, WaterWise,"?, EnergyWise'®, and related education programs developed by AM Conservation. The site supports hands-on learning about natural resources, renewable and nonrenewable resources, energy and water efficiency, and household conservation. Participating classrooms may receive student guides, take-home workbooks, teacher materials, and kits containing practical conservation products such as LED bulbs, efficient showerheads, and faucet aerators. Teachers can also access additional activities, educational links, FAQs, enrollment information, and state academic standards, although some digital teacher materials require a program login. Availability depends on sponsorship in the school's area, and program kits are limited each school year.

tag(s): conservation (104), energy (136), natural resources (35), STEM (388), sustainability (56), water (102)

In the Classroom

Have students conduct a home energy or water-efficiency audit using ideas from GetWise, then compare their findings in small groups and identify three conservation changes that could make the greatest difference. Invite pairs to calculate or estimate how small household conservation changes could reduce energy or water use over a week, month, or year, then explain which change they would recommend to a family and why. Assign small groups different conservation topics and have them create an informational flyer or presentation with Adobe Creative Cloud Express, reviewed here, which supports flyers, presentations, social media posts, and more. Require each product to include a problem, supporting facts, and practical actions families can take.
 This resource requires PDF reader software like Adobe Acrobat.

Using math skills, students must calculate when oil reserves in various countries will run out, project the percentage of increase in world and U.S. oil demand between now and the year 2020, graph and analyze population data over a period of years for a city in Brazil, and participate in related discussion questions. Links to national standards are provided.
