What are three types of software that I can use in my classroom?
I would use the following website, Thristin’s Water Cycle to give my students a visual representation of how water evaporates from the ground, water, and plants and into the clouds. At the fifth grade level students understand evaporation; however, I have found that many of them struggle with the concept of percolation. Well, in this simulation, students can visually see how the water sinks or is absorbed in the ground. http://www.epa.gov/safewater/kids/flash/flash_watercycle.html
When it’s time for me to teach concave and convex I use this website http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/index.php?topic=48
For converging and diverging lenses. Students are able to manipulate the lens to see how the shape goes from small to large as the lens is pulled away.
Although math is not one of my favorite subjects, I believe that students need to practice math facts each week. So, I have them visit this website for practice. I have them go in pairs to challenge each other in speed and accuracy. http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/maths/timestable/index.html
