Get Ready to Explore the Science of Ice Ages!

Are you looking for a way to get your students excited about the science of ice ages? Look no further! Our curriculum for middle and high school students offers six pages of condensed informational text, note pages, and activities to get them engaged with this fascinating topic.

 Students will learn about the marine isotope stages that tell us how cold the ocean waters were in the past. They will be able to predict how temperatures would have oscillated 1,280,000 - 2,580,000 million years ago by studying 16O and 18O, two isotopes of oxygen that have different atomic masses. Students will also explore Milutin Milankovic's theory, which explains how the ice age starts and stops. This is an amazing opportunity for them to gain a deeper understanding of the science behind ice ages and to develop critical thinking skills. So what are you waiting for? Get ready to explore the science of ice ages with our exciting curriculum!

 Are you looking for a way to teach middle and high school science students about ice ages and climate change? Our two pages of condensed and accurate informational climate science reading material is perfect for middle and high school science classes. This material covers the climatic weather patterns called The Oldest Dryas and Younger Dryas periods of the Pleistocene epoch. During these periods, there was an abrupt cooling that occurred during the last glacial period. We include a notes page and answer questions that students can submit to their teacher. Students learn about what causes climate changes over eons, eras, and periods. They also understand the astronomical changes involving our sun, planets, Earth's orbit, and our planet's tilt, how the sun and heat reflection all contribute to climate change. This material will give your students a better understanding of the science behind climate change and the ice ages. Invest in this curriculum today and help your students better understand the world around them!

Differentiated Bering Land Bridge Lesson Plan for Middle Schoolers

 

Looking for a science curriculum about the Bering Land Bridge that will engage and excite your middle and high school students? Look no further than our lesson plan on the Bering land bridge, or Beringia! This fascinating topic covers a wide range of science concepts, from geology and geography, to biology and anthropology.

Through our differentiated science education approach, we provide a range of resources and activities that cater to different learning styles and reading levels. This ensures that all of your students have the opportunity to learn and engage with the material, regardless of their individual abilities.

In our lesson plan, your students will learn about the ice age and how it played a role in the formation of Beringia. They will also learn about the various human and mega fauna populations that migrated across the land bridge when it existed. Students will be introduced to the concept of extinct animals, and how the world would look different today if Beringia never existed.

Overall, our lesson plan on Beringia provides a rich and engaging learning experience for your middle and high school students. Not only will they learn about a fascinating chapter in Earth's history, they will also gain a better understanding of how geography and geology have shaped the world we live in today.

 

The Beringian subcontinent was home to many fascinating creatures, including the mighty mastodons. These large, elephant-like animals roamed the land, foraging for plants and leaves. Mastodons were covered in a thick coat of fur, which helped them to stay warm in the cold climate of Beringia. Despite their massive size, mastodons were actually quite gentle creatures and were not aggressive towards humans. Today, remains of mastodons have been discovered in Alaska, Canada, and Siberia, providing us with a glimpse into the world of these fascinating animals.

 

As middle and high school science teachers, you know that engaging your students in complex topics can be a challenge. That's why our lesson plan on the intersection of geography, human evolution, and climate change is the perfect fit for your classroom.

Through our differentiated science education approach, we provide a range of resources and activities that cater to different learning styles and reading levels. This ensures that all of your students have the opportunity to learn and engage with the material, regardless of their individual abilities.

In our lesson plan, your students will learn about the Bering land bridge, or Beringia, and how it played a crucial role in human evolution. They will also explore the impact of climate change on the formation and disappearance of Beringia, and how this has shaped the world we live in today.

Overall, our lesson plan provides a unique and engaging learning experience for your middle and high school students. By exploring the intersection of geography, human evolution, and climate change, they will gain a better understanding of how these forces have worked together to create our world today.

Le Jour de Saint Valentine

 Hello fellow polyglots, 

It has been ages since I've posted here, and I've often asked myself why I didn't revisit my polyglot blog for so long. Life has been moving forward, and we've lost some important people along the way. March 2021 we lost our dear Moses McCormick. I was enveloped with such sadness when I learned of his passing. He was shy of his 40th birthday. I knew Moses, and was friends with Moses for well over ten years, his death really hit me like a brick. 

Moses would want me to continue what I do best, which is to provide foreign language educational resources to parents and teachers. Moses lived a rich life, he was humble, kind, and brought himself to the world like no person I have ever known in my life. He touched peoples hearts, because when Moses spoke to you, you know that he sees you. He used language to bridge the gap between himself and the world. I simply can't see how anyone could fill those shoes. 

I've been embarking on my own projects, namely how can I bring more information, knowledge, value, and resources to people who what to learn language, and to those who want to give their little ones the value of foreign language? 

As a trilingual mother, I know that teaching my own children can be pretty challenging. In fact, teaching other children is easier than my own. I get the challenges we parents face. But at the end of the day we do it because we love them. I love my children and I know my readers love theirs too. 

Here is a snipped of my most recent project, it's a fun Valentines Day project for children aged 5 - 12. There are two activities, Valentines Day in Italy and Valentines Day in France. The kiddos will learn cute love words, valentine's day vocabulary and play with some syllable flashcards to aide correct pronunciation in both French and Italian. 

When I made this, I simply thought that our Valentines Day activities need a little more spice. I hope I provided it.
