Social Studies Teachers! One Month Left to Apply for an Awesome FellowshipI shared this news back in January, but that feels like so long ago now that some tulips are starting to poke out of the ground in my yard. This summer C-SPAN Classroom is hosting their annual teacher fellowship program in a virtual format. C-SPAN's Summer Fellowship program is now open for applications. Those who are accepted into the program will spend a few weeks working remotely with C-SPAN's education team. Participants receive a $1,000 stipend for their participation in the program. More details about the summer fellowship program are available here. Applications are due by May 6, 2022. Every summer C-SPAN Classroom also hosts a conference for social studies teachers. A friend of mine participated in it a few years ago and he said it was an amazing experience. C-SPAN hasn't announced dates for this year's summer conference, but it does appear that it will be virtual. Check this page later this spring for dates and information about C-SPAN Classroom's summer conference. The Math and Science of BaseballTomorrow is the opening day of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. I'm excited to watch the Red Sox beat the Yankees tomorrow afternoon! If you have students who are as excited as I am about the start of the baseball season, try to capitalize on that enthusiasm with one of the following educational resources. The Baseball Hall of Fame (which I'll be visiting this summer) offers fifteen free lesson plans that are aligned with the Common Core Standards for Math and English Language Arts. There are lessons for math, social studies, science, the arts, and character education. Exploratorium's the Science of Baseball has some nice resources that can help students understand how a bit of science and mathematics is involved in every baseball game. The Science of Baseball includes video and audio clips of baseball players and scientists explaining how the weather affects the flight of the ball, the physics of various pitches, and reaction times to thrown and batted baseballs.The Physics of Baseball is a PBS Learning Media lesson for students in high school. Learn about motion, energy, aerodynamics, and vibration. Perfect Pitch is a nice little game produced by the Kennedy Center's Arts Edge. Perfect Pitch uses the backdrop of a baseball diamond to teach students about the instruments in an orchestra through a baseball game setting. The game introduces students to four eras of orchestral music and the instruments used in each. Students can create their own small orchestras and virtually play each instrument to hear how it sounds. After building an orchestra students then test their knowledge in short quizzes about the instruments and their sounds. And if you're looking for an explanation of the fundamental rules of baseball, this video provides a fairly concise explanation. More Recent Articles |
