SMART Board Goodies A Resource Blog by Amber Coggin 

FOSSweb has many wonderful interactive science activities for K-8 students. Insect Hunt is one of my favorites from the K-2 section. Move the magnifying glass around to find the insects. Once you answer whether or not it is an insect, you will then be presented with some insect facts. Look for insects on land and water! Don’t forget to check out all of the other activities on the site. Enjoy and TGIF!

Back in December I blogged about the gold mine of interactive whiteboard resources found at tes.iboard.co.uk. At the time, the site offered their resources free for 6 months with a school account. I am happy to announce that now ALL the resources are free and no account creation is needed. Please have another look at this gem for whiteboard resources in all subjects. Thanks to Jonathan Wylie over at The Education Technology Blog for bringing this to my attention again!

Below is a really cool Insect Survey activity. From the site: Zoom in on different parts of the picture to count the insects. Use the three sets of data to prompt a range of comparison questions. Investigate which insects are in the scene – could be used as a preliminary activity before carrying out a survey in the school grounds and plotting the results.
