The Defeat of the Spanish Armada (1588), an engaging skit!
Social Studies, High School, Middle School, Activities
I enjoy actively involving my students in the classroom, and what better way to achieve this than by reenacting history? This skit brings the dramatic events of the summer of 1588 to life, emphasizing the significance of England’s victory over the Spanish Armada in the English Channel. There are plenty of roles available for students, including options for those who may be hesitant to participate. Less enthusiastic performers can portray English sailors or soldiers who cheer on Queen Elizabeth. For added fun, they can toss “paper balls” at one another, representing Spanish troops, during the Battle of Gravelines scene. This keeps the experience both engaging and educational. The skit also includes a portion of Queen Elizabeth I’s famous speech delivered at the height of the battle. Most importantly, it concludes with a review of why this moment was pivotal: Spain’s dominance began to fade while England rose in power. Additionally, Spain would no longer be able to prevent English colonization efforts in North America, with Jamestown being founded within two decades. I use this skit to enrich my lesson on "The English Come to North America," helping students connect with the historical roots of England’s presence in the New World. Lasting about 10–15 minutes, it’s a lively and effective addition to the curriculum.

Math, Percentages, Decimals, Fractions, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Centers, Activities
Do you need some new ideas for your grade 6 or 7 units on ratios and rates and proportional relationships? Here's a printer-ready set of 5 math centers for your intermediate students. These activities include questions about part-to-part and part-to-whole rations, real-life rates, and the relationships between ratios, fractions, and percentages. I have included many real world examples such as planning a road trip, calculating unit prices at the store, and creating a visual design. Even students in the middle grades benefit from a wide variety of instructional strategies. Why not incorporate some math stations and centers into your teaching practice to give your class a new way to learn! Station 1: Students solve 4 word problems using ratios and rates. Station 2: Students explore ratios in designs and draw and describe their own design. Station 3: Students match equivalent ratios and rates of different kinds to solve a riddle (optional: set out tablets for an online game extension). Station 4: Students plan a summer road trip and think about all the ratios and rates they need to use for that task! Station 5: Students create a visual representation of a given percentage using ratios, fractions, decimals, diagrams, and equivalence (supplies needed: six-sided dice). An answer key is included for easy assessment . Grades to Use With: These stations are designed with middle grades classes in mind (grades 5-8). They could also work in high school special education classrooms.

Alkali Metals Concept Wheel – Interactive Chemistry Activity for Grade

Alkali Metals Concept Wheel – Interactive Chemistry Activity for Grades 7–10 Learn Alkali Metals - visual learning 🧪🧠 This concept wheel is a practical way to help students understand the alkali metals in Group 1 of the periodic table. I first made it for a grade 8 class that was struggling with the idea of chemical families. Instead of giving them another chart to copy, I tried this wheel activity, and it worked much better because they could see and handle the information piece by piece. The wheel has eight sections that cover the basics: general properties, reactivity, how these elements appear in nature, and some everyday uses. Students cut out and arrange the pieces to build the full circle. The activity takes a little bit of preparation, but once the pieces are made, you can reuse them. I usually store the sets in small envelopes so they are ready for the next lesson. There are different versions included. Some circles are already filled in, which is helpful when introducing the topic for the first time. Others are blank, so students can write their own notes after a lab or reading assignment. I have used the blank ones during review sessions, and students liked comparing their wheels with a partner’s version. It also gives them a sense of ownership over the material. The wheel can be used in many ways: as a warm-up before a lab, as practice during a unit on the periodic table, or as a review before a quiz. It works for group tasks, but I have also had students complete it on their own. When the wheels are finished, they make a clear visual display for the classroom or for a student’s notebook. This activity is designed for grades 7–10 chemistry or physical science. It supports lessons on periodic trends, classification of elements, and the special role of the alkali metals. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from @Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and welcoming learning environment. 🐶
