VIRTUAL Lessons
Spooktacular: Investigating Adaptations
“Spiders! And Pumpkins! And Bats! Oh my!" Join us via Adobe Connect and experience our virtual lesson for third graders where we use SOL-based hands-on activities that capture your students' imagination. We'll take you step-by-step through a one hour virtual lesson that focuses on scientific investigation, unique physical adaptations of bats and spiders, along with spider webs and food webs, and don't forget the pumpkins! We will explore plant life cycles and seed dispersal too. A class that creeps and crawls and, in the end, grows on you!

Where in the World is Pi?
From drawing circles in the sand and measuring diameter with rope to inscribing quadrillion sided polygons within a circle, mathematicians have been spent lifetimes trying to figure out the closest estimate of pi. In this lesson, students will travel through time to discover different ways in which pi has been calculated and discover for themselves interesting connections between circles and pi.
