S'Cool Tools
Our tools of the week are:
Free! What are dwarf planets? Where do geometrical forms appear in nature? How large can penguins grow? DKFindout!’s online encyclopedia serves up answers to thousands of such questions, on topics from dinosaurs to the human body. Check out DKFindout!’s teacher resources to create lesson plans using its resources and content.
Free! If your students are feeling test and grade pressures as the school year draws to a close, you might want to remind them of tried-and-true stress remedies including eating right, sleeping well and getting exercise. DeStressify, available on the App Store and Google Play, offers a way to keep these coping tools in mind, from five-minute yoga exercises to a nutrition pop-up reminder at lunch.
