Science
Regulation of Human Heart Rate Activity/Lab:
In this experiment your student(s) will learn how to measure their hear rate accurately. This experiment will also deepen your student(s) understanding of the scientific method as they test the effects of an activity or stimulus on the heart rate, analyze data and present their findings.
History
Knowing what the Constitution says is really important as part of the education of our students! Finding resources to make the Constitution accessible to a variety of grade levels isn't always easy. This website has some fantastic links to the texts of our nation, and has links specifically for older/younger grades.
Math
Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) is a great website full of resources. HERE you will find a free section of TPT with some great resources for testing practice. You can go through the pages, read the description and appropriate grade level, and then download if it is something that your child would benefit from completing. This would be a great supplement for the SBAC test practice questions. Check it out!!
