This is a great experiment (and just in time for HALLOWEEN) to do with younger students that is engaging, fun, and utilizes the Scientific Method with math. Simply put, the students will make a prediction about how many licks it will take them to reach the chocolate center of the Tootsie Pop, and then analyze their answers with their peers. It's a great starter experiment to the Scientific Method, that introduces about making predictions, documenting our work throughout the experiment, comparing answers to predictions, and looking at additional factors that could have affected the outcome. It also incorporates different types of math (methods of counting) to document the licks. This allows you to see how each individual child attends to counting, especially up to larger numbers. **Please note, if a child cannot finish their lollipop or cannot reach the chocolate center, have them stop and record their licks as is.** Included in this pack are: A front and back recording sheet for the experiment (print 1 per student) A set of instruction cards that depict the steps of the experiment Visual aids for certain steps in the experiment for lower ability students. Be adventurous and allow students to work on this as a science or math center! Please make sure to rate and leave feedback!!!

This is a visual survey based on aspects of Howard Gardener's Multiple Intelligences I made for my ESL students to be used at the beginning of the school year. Given a language barrier it was a great tool that gave me insight into how my students like to learn, what materials they like to use, and what their favorite part of school is. While I used this survey for ESL, I feel it can be used for any mainstream/ESL grade level in the primary grades Each student completes the survey by either circling or coloring (whatever is easier depending on your students' abilities), one or more answer for each question. Make sure they understand not to circle every answer, but to pick only the ones that pertain to them. Once the survey is complete, you can use the teacher answer key to understand what the data means and how to effectively use it. I used my surveys to help me differentiate my lessons, how to manage my guided reading and writing more effectively, as well as how to motivate my students to complete their work. It also gave me good ideas about how to set up my seating chart, which students might work well together, and which of my more chatty students might need to be separated. And one extra bonus, this is a GREAT tool when it comes to observations and professional development, and you get asked about why you have differentiated in a particular way!
