Proprioceptive Power-Ups: A Gamified Physical Therapy & Sensory

Proprioceptive Power-Ups: A Gamified Physical Therapy & Sensory
Research, Resources for Teachers, Classroom Management, Community Building, Special Resources, Life Skills, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Speech Therapy, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Workbooks, Worksheets, Word Searches, Teacher Tools, Assessments, Graphic Organizers, Lesson Plans, Presentations, Outlines

With Proprioceptive Power-Ups, you can turn dysregulated classrooms into focused learners. This complete, evidence-based, gamified sensory regulation program takes ‘heavy work’ and transforms it into new fun, student-led Power-Ups. The 27-page digital PDF resource is designed to provide occupational therapy, physical therapy, and real-world classroom viability for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Using Sensory Integration Theory, Self-Determination Theory (SDT), and micro-learning protocols, Proprioceptive Power-Ups provide sensory seekers with 3-5 minute ‘bursts’ of proprioceptive and vestibular input that calm those under-responding to sensations at the same time dramatically improving attention, motor planning skills, emotional regulation, and other important areas of development. The following features are provided within Proprioceptive Power-Ups: Comprehensive theoretical underpinning (neurobiology of proprioception, tripartite circuit architecture, integration within an MTSS Tier 1-3 model) 10 student workbook worksheets with fill-in-the-blank self-reflection and data tracking to complete before beginning a new series of Power-Ups. Age-divided choice board usages for example K-2 use an imagination engine; 3-5 uses a mission protocol; 6-8 uses biometric optimization. Full-color diagrams, schematics include but are not limited to: Neurological Processing Pathway; 3-Phase Sensory Circuit; Gamification Mechanics Matrix. Examples of IEP goals, tools for collecting data, and case studies demonstrating an overall reduction of 60-78% in both elopement and disruption of classroom activities as compared to pre-Proprioceptive Power-Ups implementation. Instant digital download of entire resource, no preparation required! Proprioceptive Power-Ups are ideal for teachers, occupational therapy specialists (OT), physical therapy specialists (PT), special education teachers/special instructors, and parents who are serving students with or without ADHD, developmental coordination disorder (DCD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), or other classroom sensory processing disorder(s). Why Schools & Parents Are So Happy About It 1. Effectively Calms & Focuses Students: With instant self-regulation through 3–5 minutes of gamified “heavy work” activities, elopement, meltdown, and verbal disruptions have been reduced by as much as 78% in real case study examples. 2. Zero Lesson Prep but Maximum Engagement for the Students: Therapy is turned into play, through Choice Boards and avatar style Power-Ups - giving students choice and control, and saving teachers time while providing maximum engagement for the students in busy classroom settings and for kids on their IEP. 3. Evidence Based and Measured Progress: Easy access to the “whole brain” theory of neuroscience with pre/post data tracking tools and IEP goal templates providing easy documentation of progress to parents and administrators. 4. Age Appropriate From K to 8th Grade: There are differentiated stations and language to keep even the youngest kids excited about (and the oldest kids “cool” about) participating in activities in the same room without being segregated by age. 5. Proven Return On Investment: High impact proprioceptive input (replacing ineffective fidgety tools) will continue to improve time on task, enhance writing skills, and improve working/executive function without the need to sacrifice time during instruction. Target Students and Grade Levels: The resource is geared toward kindergarten through 8th grade (K-8) students. The children that will benefit from this program demonstrate an under-stimulated or dysregulated proprioceptive and vestibular system, including: Sensory Seekers (i.e., crashing, chewing, and pressing too hard); Sensory Under-Responders (i.e., lethargic, floppy, and having low muscle tone); Students with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) - Combined Type; Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD); Dyspraxia .A general education classroom using a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) Tier 1 (i.e., universal brain breaks), Tier 2 (i.e., targeted small groups), and Tier 3 (i.e., Individualized Education Plan-specific on Circuit) will also utilize the program as needed. There is built-in scaffolding provided within the program through the following: narrative/imaginative play for grades K-2; challenge-based missions for grades 3-5; and more mature "biometric optimization" language for middle school (grades 6-8) to assist in securing the dignity of the adolescent population.

This hot air balloons reading comprehension with lesson plan includes: Visualization (on the front cover) Start your lesson by taking a minute to think and share something about the topic. Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question and additional facts. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well. Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: Hot Air Balloons Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Science (flight/forces) Primary Topic: How hot air balloons rise and early ballooning history Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): Q What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains the key science idea that warm air rises and connects it to how a hot air balloon works. Builds historical understanding through a short timeline (1780s France experiments; June/September/November 1783 flights; return in the late 1950s–1960). Introduces main balloon parts and functions (envelope, basket, propane burner, valve) and how they affect rising/sinking. Clarifies how balloons travel (they can’t steer like airplanes; changing height helps catch winds moving different ways). Shows how improved materials/design (nylon fabric and powerful propane burners) helped ballooning become a sport and celebration again. Learning Goals Students will explain why warm air helps a hot air balloon rise using details from the passage. Students will identify the Montgolfier brothers and describe what the crowd in Annonay saw on June 4, 1783. Students will describe what happened at the Palace of Versailles on September 19, 1783. Students will describe the jobs of the envelope, propane burner, and valve in a modern balloon. Students will explain how a balloon can travel in different directions by changing height. Students will explain how Ed Yost helped ballooning return in the late 1950s and what happened in 1960. Key Vocabulary From the Text experiments — tests to find out if something works. envelope — big fabric balloon bag that fills with heated air. propane — fuel used to make the burner’s flame. valve — opening that lets hot air out. redesign — change how something is made to improve it.

Photosynthesis Lesson, Worksheets, and Experiments for 5th, 6th, and 7th Grade Science I created this resource for teachers and parents who want a straightforward and engaging way to introduce photosynthesis to upper-elementary and middle-grade learners. I put together reading, comprehension questions and simple experiments in this lesson. It gives students a chance to learn the concept of photosynthesis step by step, while still keeping the lesson easy to teach and enjoyable for kids. What’s inside? A detailed reading passage that explains photosynthesis in clear, student-friendly language Seven comprehension questions with an answer key Three experiment guides that show photosynthesis in action Discussion questions for each experiment, along with suggested answers Safety notes and precautions for all hands-on activities Anchor charts to support visual understanding A True/False activity (answer key is included) A diagram page that helps students label and understand the photosynthesis process A creative dialogue-writing worksheet related to photosynthesis Complete answer keys for every worksheet is included Resource highlights I wrote this reading passage with older elementary and younger middle-school students in mind. This lesson is clear enough for independent reading but still detailed enough for science instruction. The experiments use materials that are easy to find and take students beyond the textbook. All the discussion questions give structure to classroom conversations and help students connect what they read with what they observe. There’s also a creative writing component for teachers who like to include literacy work in their science lessons. Ways to use this resource: Reading activity: Introduce the topic with the passage and ask the students to solve all the comprehension questions. Science lessons: Use the three experiments given inside to deepen understanding and encourage observation. Vocabulary practice: Build a word wall or glossary using terms such as photosynthesis, chlorophyll, carbon dioxide, glucose, and stomata. Creative projects: Have students draw or label their own diagrams to show the process of photosynthesis on a blank sheet or in their notebooks. ESL support: This passage also works well for English learners as it includes clear definitions and repeated vocabulary. Value for teachers, homeschoolers, and parents Teachers will appreciate this ready to use lesson as everything inside is organized and easy to implement, even on a busy day. Homeschoolers will find the step by step structure very useful and helpful, especially while conducting experiments. Parents can use this resource to review science concepts at home. This lesson will help them support what students are already learning in school. photosynthesis, science education, 5th grade science, 6th grade science, 7th grade science, 4th grade science, ESL learning, plant biology, elementary science, reading comprehension, hands-on learning, science experiments, chlorophyll, carbon dioxide, glucose, stomata, vocabulary building, homeschooling, teacher resources, parent support, science resources, EVS

How stovetop and electric kettles heat water (burner heat vs. a heating element; some shut off automatically). Why boiling water “swirls” (convection: warmer, less dense water rises while cooler water sinks). Key science facts connected to boiling (about 212°F at sea level; lower boiling temperature on high mountains). Safe habits around hot water and steam (steam can sting, spilled hot water can scald, and careful pouring/spout direction helps). Learning Goals Students will identify the main purpose of a kettle using details from the passage. Students will describe how a stovetop kettle and an electric kettle heat water, based on the text. Students will explain convection in boiling water using the passage’s description of rising and sinking water. Students will state what the text says about boiling temperature at sea level and on high mountains. Students will list safety rules mentioned in the passage for handling steam and hot water. Key Vocabulary From the Text vessel — a container that holds something. cauldron — a large pot. convection — heat moving as warm water rises and cool sinks. dense — packed tightly; not light. scald — burn skin with very hot liquid. Cored Ed Encyclopedia Overview The Cored Ed Encyclopedia is a weekly series of lessons that you can pick up and use right away. These short readings fit into whatever time you have available. Each one includes a warm-up, a reading, and a set of questions, but it’s flexible — you can do just the reading, the full lesson, or skip the writing section if you need to. Each lesson focuses on a single topic so students don’t get lost. The writing is clear but never childish, making it perfect for grades two through five. Topics range from animals and science to history, inventions, and everyday things. No matter the level of the student, everyone should take away at least one new idea or fact from each lesson. The materials are easy to print, easy to explain, and require no setup. They work well for whole-class teaching, partner work, or independent study.
