Skeletal System

Here are some links to learn the names of the bones of the skeletal system through song, dance, and games.

Teaching about the Skeleton and learning the names of the bones
Song: Name Those Bones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abgJD054sds&feature=related
Skeleton Dance http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&NR=1&v=rUOVcr7LrG8
Kids Biology.com http://www.kidsbiology.com/human_biology/index.php
Sporcle (mentally stimulating games) Can you name the bones of the body? Game http://www.sporcle.com/games/g/bones This is a great game for students to try to recall the names of the bones without concern for labeling accurately. The computer game automatically assigns the name to the correct bone once you have spelled it correctly in the little pink game box. The eight minutes is plenty of time to come up with the names of the bones. At the end, if you have missed any, the computer shows you names of the bones you missed on the skeleton with a red label. You are able to play again and keep track of your stats.

Osmosis and Lipids

Lipids
Chem4kids http://www.chem4kids.com/files/bio_lipids.html “When you think of fats, you should know that they are lipids. Lipids are also used to make steroids and waxes. So, if you pick out some earwax and smell it, that’s a lipid, too!”
Science for Kids http://scienceforkids.kidipede.com/biology/cells/doing/lipids.htm Lipids Experiments include mixing water and oil and blowing bubbles!

Potential and Kinetic Energy – Marshmallow Catapult http://www.imcpl.org/kids/blog/?p=9040
What is energy? http://www.eia.gov/kids/energy.cfm?page=1 This site has categories to review in detail. Clearly laid out. See for example, Energy Basics http://www.eia.gov/kids/energy.cfm?page=about_home-basics which gives types of energy and describes the difference between kinetic and potential energy. This is a fabulous site with lots of information.
Remember to click on the other areas such as History of Energy and look at the timelines. Take time to look at the famous people such as Edison. Enjoy!
Energyville http://www.energyville.com/ This site offers a challenge game to a group of students to keep the power on for this city through 2030.

Science – Electricity

Understanding Electricity for Kids

noeK12  http://www.neok12.com/Electricity.htm  This site has video’s, quizzes, games and puzzles, as well as vocabulary related to learning about electricity.

Physics for Kids http://www.physics4kids.com/files/elec_intro.html.  This site has a more indepth discussion on electricity as well as other physics topics.  In addition, there are games and quizzes on the site.  The first question on the quiz section is:  What type of electricity is making your desk top computer run?  This is a fun question for children to think about in the technological world.  Children are asked what powers their brain.  Such stimulation!

Kids Connect http://www.kidskonnect.com/subject-index/15-science/72-electricity.html.  This site has the facts related to electricity clearly laid out in numbered sentences 1 – 10.  There is even mention of Thomas Edison.  The Links section is a great resource.

You Tube Videos on Electricity for Kids http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TE5iadS9cqc.  This link will bring up one video (1 – there are 6 in this particular series) and then you are able to click on other videos such as Introduction to Electricity.  How to Create a Lemon Battery http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY9qcDCFeVI&feature=channel is a video which the children may enjoy watching and then creating for themselves.  Be sure to have the right equipment.  There are potato and vinegar batteries, too.  So much to see and to learn!
