Blogs and Alerts- Week 4

The most interesting blog that I have found to date is this blog posted by fifth grade students. In the blog the students created a YouTube video that explained the Circulatory system. I find that the use of technology, especially YouTube, is a great way for students to use their creativity to show their understanding of science concepts. The site also has links that show other fifth grade students using YouTube as a vehicle to show their science skills. See more at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V9hwaHyGvs.

The second site has flash cards that you can download for the Energy and Ecosystem topics. I find that these flashcards can be very helpful for fifth grade students learning these topics. The flashcards can be pasted into the students' interactive notebooks, and are a great study tool.
