Question: End of School Year Activities?

I'm a fifth grade teacher looking for some fun activities to do at the end of the year. I'm new to this grade from middle school so I don't have many resources. I'd like to do a few fun math activities and maybe even some science. I've got S.S. and ELA covered.

I heard of a fun activity but cannot seem to find much on it. I'd like for them to create and design a cereal box using specific measurements. They did something like this earlier in the year with a house, but the cereal box would be more difficult because it will include volume and surface area. I'd also like to play some games or do some activities that involve probability. Any suggestions or links?

Also, we've studied ecosystesm, cells, landforms, mixtures/solutions, and force/motion in Science. Andy suggestions or links?

Thanks!

Answer: If you are looking for fun math activities, try The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics nctm.org

Go to pbs.org and click on the teacher page. They offer a variety of lessons.

For science did you visit The National Science Teachers Assoc. nsta.org

Hope this helps.
