Statistical vs. Non-Statistical Questions – Grade 6
Math, Statistics, Common Core, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Activities
This activity is designed to target Common Core State Standards 6th Grade Math Statistics 6.SP.A.1 It is a great opener for a unit on statistics and probability as it gets your students thinking about what statistics really are! Students are taught what a statistical question is: a question that has numerical answers that vary. They are shown ways to collect data for statistical questions: survey, using previously collected data such as a census, observations, or measuring. Next, 8 questions are included. Students need to identify if they are statistical questions or not. If they are, students think of how the data might be collected. If they are not, students explain what aspects of a statistical question are missing. Finally, students write 4 questions of their own (one should not be a statistical question) and they trade with a friend to see if they can identify the odd one out. This product would be a great warm-up before my Create Dot Plots and Histograms assignment, as students will need to generate a statistical question for that project. Grades to Use With: This product is designed to target 6th Grade Math Common Core State Standards for Statistics and Probability. However, it can also be used for enrichment in grade 5 classes, or for review in grades 7 and 8.

This tool covers everything, from passwords and mobile devices to social media, smart home technology, child safety issues, financial fraud, AI-driven threats, and estate planning.

Sorting What goes together FOOD
Special Resources, Life Skills, Math, Early Math, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Activities
In this educational activity , the learner will be presented with a set of food items, such as lettuce, cheese, ham, bread, tomato, pickle, mustard, and mayonnaise, along with a picture card of a sandwich. The goal of the activity is for the learner to sort the food items that go together to make the sandwich. Other food in this activity is baked potato, hamburger, taco, spaghetti, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, hot dog First, provide the learner with the picture card of the sandwich, and ask them to identify the different food items that go together to make the sandwich. The learner can then sort the food items into groups based on their function in the sandwich, such as the bread, filling, and condiments. To make the activity more engaging, the educator can use real food items instead of picture cards, and ask the learner to physically assemble the sandwich. This will not only reinforce the learner's understanding but also provide a hands-on learning experience. Next you can introduce the different food cards and discuss their differences, such as their taste, texture, and nutritional value. Then present the various sorting cards for the different foods and discuss the various different foods that go with the food card. Some food cards may have some of the same sorting cards For example cheese might be on pizza, baked potato, hamburger and a sandwich which makes it a great time to discuss how the some foods fit in with other foods. Lastly you could discuss the importance of a balanced diet and how the different foods contribute to overall health and well-being. The learner can also be encouraged to come up with their own healthy sandwich combinations, using the knowledge they have gained from the activity . By engaging in hands-on sorting the learner can develop important cognitive skills such as attention to detail, observation, and reasoning. It is also easy to individualize and can be used in a group setting or one on one. This activity is easy to create and assemble. Print and laminate for many years of teaching and learning. Enjoy!

Sir James Dewar – A Look at the Scientist Behind the Vacuum Flask Comprehension Activities A short reading and task-based resource for grades 7–10 science classrooms (PDF + H5P) 🧪🌡️ A printable and digital resource for grades 7–10 science and cross-curricular teaching 🧪🧠 This resource introduces students to Sir James Dewar, a Scottish chemist and physicist best known for inventing the Dewar flask – a forerunner of the modern thermos. His work in low-temperature chemistry and physics helped pave the way for cryogenics and many everyday technologies we take for granted today. The material is designed to be flexible and easy to use. It centers on a short, student-friendly informational text and includes structured follow-up tasks that support comprehension and encourage independent thinking. Whether you're working in a chemistry unit or simply want to connect scientific tools to the people who developed them, this resource fits in with very little preparation needed. What’s included: Informational text about the life and work of James Dewar Student worksheet for creating a personal scientist profile Quiz questions to check understanding (with solutions) Two extension tasks for optional pair or individual work: – Students write their own questions – Partner exchange and answer Formats: – PDF (ready to print or display) – Editable DOCX (text only) – H5P version for digital classrooms (text-based, no images) How it works in class: You can use this resource to complement lessons on scientific inventions, energy, temperature, or lab equipment. I’ve also used it when I needed a calm, structured reading activity that students could complete independently. The extension tasks are helpful when you want to build in peer exchange without needing new materials. The H5P format is useful in digital settings and supports self-paced learning. Everything is ready to go – just print, project, or upload. A simple and effective way to explore the link between science history and the tools we still use today. Have fun exploring the world of science with your students! Warmly, Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we focus on creating a positive and inspiring learning environment.
