Anatomy and Problem-Solving Creations: Supplies/Videos
I recommend students watch a video before I present the topic in class. For some topics, I've found multiple vidoes of interest, but students don't need to watch them all. I don't spend a lot of time lecturing, so these videos supply some background knowledge for the activities we will do in class. I recommend all of the Amoeba Sister and Crash Course videos on Youtube.
You'll notice I have many BrainPop videos listed below. BrainPop is a subscription website that has excellent science videos, as well as history, English, math, arts, etc. Each video has a quiz and additional learning material associated with it. You do not need to purchase a subscription to BrainPop, I just wanted to let you know about this great site. Some of the videos are free to watch without a subscription. Your charter school may provide a free subscription to BrainPop.

SUPPLIES
To comply with COVID precautions and minimize sharing, I'm asking students bring the following items to class each day:
I do my best to reuse items for our projects so we aren't adding to the landfill, but I sometimes need help collecting items. If you can save some supplies, that's great. If you can't, that's ok since I'll probably collect extra items from others.
I'm collecting the following items over the summer and early in the semester:

I'm collecting the following items over the summer and early in the semester:
- 1 pair of pants (large child to small adult size) - 1 per 2 students
- 1 shoe (large child to small adult size) -1 per 2 students
- bubble wrap, foam, or any other type of padding (up to 2 foot length)
- 1.5 foot scraps of PVC pipe, 2"x4" or smaller wood, small diameter, lightweight metal pipe, really anything you think could used as a lower leg bone!
- large, white plastic ground turkey meat trays (don't go out an buy turkey to get this. If you have the trays, I'll take them.)
- 1 Sparkling Ice drink bottle (or generic brand) with lid/student - not a regular water bottle
Videos (optional to watch - I'll add details on when to watch them later.)
