Great Science Experiments for Kids
While looking for more great science experiments for kids and ran across this site called Science Made Simple. They go into some detail on how electricity works, which I found useful for 5th grade teachers. "One of the experiments is Swinging Cereal. You need a clean comb, Cheerios, and your kid's hair or some wool. You comb your kid's hair (the comb should be cleaned to remove any oils first) or rub it against some wool, then touch it to the Cheerio until it moves away from the comb.

Teach the Three "R´s" in your Classroom
There are many nice ways to have a greener school year. This is a list of simple and easy ideas you can implement in your classroom, in no time, and with no cost!
1-Encourage the use of reusable containers
Encourage your students to use reusable containers to hold their snacks-so that no plastic or paper has to be thrown away. This is a great way to reuse.
2- Have a Scrap Paper Box
Keep a scrap paper box in a convenient place in your classroom. This is a great way to renew!
3- Lunch Boxes
Encourage your students to recycle any packing in their lunch boxes. Ask them to use a cloth napkin instead of a paper one. They can reuse it! Just count all your school days.....that´s how many paper napkins you saved.

Did you know that if you use a disposable lunch, you create between 4-8 ounces of garbage everyday? That can add up to as much as 100 pounds per year!
