Virtual Field Trip - Theme Parks (Distance Learning)
by mskp
Students will explore different theme parks from around the world and ride some of the noteworthy rides in each. Using Google Earth and first person POV YouTube videos, students will reflect, compare and contrast as they travel along. Google Earth link is on the first slide.
I use this as a kick off to a PBL project I have uploaded (Imagineering) where students will create their own theme park.

Time Capsule Project
Welcome to TWOSday - 2/2/2022. For this project, you will create a Time Capsule which will allow you to select a few primary sources from your own life. A time capsule will allow you to reflect back on what life was like in 2022. What was popular, historical events, your personal preferences and other important events/items in your life. The next date in history will be 11 years from now on 3/3/2033. How much will you have grown? In which ways will our society have changed? The purposes of doing this “Personal Time Capsule” are: -To provide a record of your life and who you are now -To anchor in time your current views, attitudes, philosophy, and outlook -To analyze your personal characteristics and the relationship to your future -To create a document that, years from now, will have significant value to you
Popits Multiplication & Hundred Chart
Are your students obsessed with the popit phenomenon? Make it a meaningful manipulative - turn it into a hundred chart on one side (great for multiples) and on the other side make it a multiplication table. We purchased 10x10 popits and the students used Sharpie to create their own manipulatives.
