This'll make an easy statistics activity.
In a bit of a pickle, because this looks like it would be such a fun activity for constructing a dichotomous key. Classifying different kinds of "meat wrapped in dough" foods based on their similarities and differences? That sounds like a lot of fun! That's also like third grade science though.
Science findings are based on recognizing patterns. (3-LS1-1; Crosscutting Concepts, Connections of Nature to Science)
And at that grade level, You would really need to provide the students with something more than a picture of each of these in order to give them a sorting activity. Each of these foods has its own physical properties that you need all of your senses to perceive. You need to be able to feel the difference between steamed and boiled and pan-fried and deep fried in order to sort them.
Again, that sounds like an amazing activity, but that's a lot of catering to do. It would be great if you could ask the families to bring in anything they know how to make.
My very first tiger drawing and my latest
Your skill level is unquestionable but listen.
I love him.
me also. as well.
This is the COOLEST thing Iâve seen in AGES. You both completely made my entire week.
High School art activity
Find some of your old childhood drawings. For those students who absolutely cannot find any, the teacher should ply their pre-K teacher connections in order to acquire some.
And then the students give them a loving revamp like these.
So I wrote my graduate thesis for my Master of Arts in Teaching on educational gaming, where there's this concept called Chocolate Covered Broccoli. Game design is like making chocolate and education design is like cooking vegetables. It's very challenging to make a product that gamifies learning without it feeling like the image above. I thought about this a lot when I was subbing, because there is a bevy of options out there these days, but none of them seem quite on the money.
I would like to know from all of you. What educational games do your students and children use? What about yourself?
Some ancient version of Carmen Sandiego taught me some geography but mostly didn't work well on our home computer when I was little.
The games I remember playing the most were a game with a scary mansion, which I looked up and is I think Math Blaster for 5th Grade (but could be Reading Blaster for 5th Grade? I remember the mansion and the player character but not what type of games were within it), and a game I have just looked up which is apparently The Cluefinders Math Adventures Ages 9-12, where you solved mysteries with math and puzzles in the Himalayas. Both the mansion game and the mountain game were super fun and I knew they were educational games but my brother and I were very limited in computer games my parents would buy us so didn't mind they were educational. I also didn't get stressed about educational games the way I got stressed about most games.
Of course I played Oregon Trail in elementary school on the school computer, but I mostly remember dying. I had already read the Little House books and many other books about the time period by the time I was old enough to be allowed to play games on the computer (second grade I think?) so wasn't learning lots of new info about the Oregon Trail.
Another really fun game on the school computer was the Magic School Bus one where they go inside the kid's body, based on the episode where they do that. Looks like the name is The Magic School Bus Explores the Human Body and you can play it for free online here.
Typing games of course, were a classic. In middle school we had Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing fora year and then it was replaced by much more interesting game; of course I remember exactly zero details about the replacement except we were happy that we had a better option.
I will note that multiple classmates in high school sat through the class lectures, did very little homework, did no assigned reading, and passed the AP World History exam (circa 2005) because they had read every single informational passage in Age of Empires. They didn't do the class reading but the video game was accurate enough to basically replicate a lot of the textbook, from what they said. We would be having class discussions and they could chime in with advanced details.
I knew kids in high school who would have AoE'd their way through AP World History, too. But of course you need to actually read all the extra stuff; it isn't integrated into the gameplay. That's still awesome, but I have to wonder if there's a way to make it even better.
I really like using typingclub.com for touch typing: it has the gamification (like all touch typing programs ime) of accuracy, speed etc but its higher levels use lots of vocab words, homonyms, grammar, facts etc in their passages for an extra layer of âincidental learningâ. And itâs free!
Seconding Cluefinders! As a kid I loved those games, along with Zoombinis and Reader Rabbit adventures. The iSpy Games were also great, particularly for gamifying early literacy. There was a DK Encyclopedia-ish adventure/exploration game I loved as well. Oh! And Numbermaze! Not sure how well any have survived into the modern app era, but they were all a lot of fun and as a kid I never registered the educational component of most of them. (Indeed, I can also remember my mum enjoying playing one of the cluefinders games for herself!)
More recently, Iâve found some fantastic games on Matific (although Iâve never subscribed for full access), particularly for years ~5-10 My school uses Essential Assessment and 5/6 students seem to really enjoy the Jetpack Algebra games.
Thereâs a growing pool of educational games for younger primary. I use abcya! quite a bit for maths. And the mathletics-style timed pvp never seems to grow old.
Thereâs lots of apps that try and gamify coding, but I tend to struggle with them because of their (imo over-)reliance on spatial visualisation. Dragon Blast on Tynker (web) and Lightbot (app) are two Iâve used.
Slightly different take, but on the coding front, I particularly like having students learn to code games. Thereâs its of guides on Scratch, and while the learning itself isnât at all gamified, being left with a game at the end (and then trying to work out how other people have customised their games) can be very engaging.
Kahoot remains my fallback quiz vehicle, although the website is increasingly unusuable without succumbing to pay2play.
Kids also love Blooket, which emerged as a strong competitor to Kahoot and where Kahoot is an effective assessment tool, Blooket is also useful for learning or revising, as students typically see questions multiple times during play. (Itâs honestly much better on MANY fronts than Kahoot).
Thereâs also a great natural disasters game: https://www.stopdisastersgame.org/
This online game teaches children how to build safer villages and cities against disasters.
And this lovely interactive about Australiaâs levels of government: https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/three-levels-of-government/federal-state-and-local
Do you know what each level of government is responsible for? Test your knowledge of the three levels of government in Australia with this g
Finally, I need to give a mention to music. Not strictly speaking a âgameâ but whether Hamilton or Assassins or Rent (how many minutes in a year?) or Anastasia or Six or⊠a lot of musicals instil a bunch of useful info.
And from catchy ear worms like Whatâs the Time, through my classâs favourite song this year (Personfication) into more complex rewrites about the calculus or a novel being studied (whether sourced online or crafted by students) thereâs a Lot of power there for âfun learningâ.
Seconding Typingclub.com I've tried it and been really impressed by its approach.
Blooket has been really popular over here too! I agree it's more versatile and generally more fun.
Also, playing around with RPG Maker in my adolescence was definitely formative for me, but Scratch and the whole codeblocks thing is a way better method of teaching the fundamentals. I wish I could have had that when I was still in school. Kids these days don't ever have to type "Public static void" when learning to code.
...
I really wish I could make it my full time job to just... review all of these. That would be really cool.
At a future time, I may choose to compile a list of as many of these as I can â I would love to research and review each of these â but right now I've got another research project that I'm about to throw myself into.
Reblogging this to keep it handy. Call that foreshadowing.
I'm not yet sure how to turn this into something properly educational, more than just " take a look at how a classic story can be reinterpreted through a modern lens".

Hey, you are not an embarrassment for not knowing how to do certain household chores/basic self-care. They do not come naturally to us. A lot of it takes practice! Maybe you had a neglectful guardian. Maybe you had one that was very coddling and never thought to teach you. Maybe you haven't lived in a place where these things were available to you or needed. Doesn't matter. It's okay to not know and far more common than you might realise.
That said, this website provides very simple instructions on how to do everyday tasks such as making your bed, using a washing machine, cooking different foods, washing dishes, taking a shower, etc. All you have to do is use the search bar to find the task you're struggling with, and it'll come up with what you need + other related how-to's:)
If you're having trouble navigating it, let me provide you with some examples:
How to clean dishes by hand
How to make your bed (with visual demonstrations of each step!)
How to fold clothes (with visual demonstrations of each step!)
How to take a shower & dry yourself off (also provides ways to shave beards, armpits, legs and genitals)
How to shave legs, armpits, beards, pubic areas, etc. (a more in-depth guide)
How to mop the floor
How to sweep the floor
How to swallow pills
How to make small talk
How to make eye contact in different situations (or how to avoid it while still looking natural)
It's also perfectly okay if these don't help or aren't appealing to you. Unfortunately, nothing helps everyone.
Also if the reason you don't know is developmental , intelectual or learning disabilities making you struggle even if you've been taught a bunch of times , you are so cool and awesome too :^) [smiley face ]
This shit really isnt intuitive at all unfortunately
Useful resource
You do owe people somethingÂ
Lately Iâve heard a lot of people say âI donât owe anyone anythingâ and I think that claim isnât as nuanced as it should be. Itâs important to set clear boundaries, especially in an online world where anyone can interact with everyone. But I think âI donât owe anyone anythingâ is the wrong way of going about it.
I think people owe each other basic respect.Â
That does not mean you should let people walk all over you. You owe them respect and they owe you respect too. If they donât respect you as a person, by all means set your boundaries. Even mirror that as a last resort. But if you can help it, just walk away. People should respect you as a person. Youâre a human with your own story, view on life and life experience. That should be respected and you should respect that in others.
Try to be kind to each other. You are worth being kind to and you can be kind to others.
I hope you have a good day, filled with love and kindness.

There has GOT to be a book in the standard curriculum that you can apply this lens to.
To Kill a Mockingbird and The Scarlet Letter come to mind.
Any other recommendations? Because this would make for an excellent essay topic for a capstone project.
I just googled this and⊠yes, itâs absolutely real.
And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.
So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.
The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.
Thank God someone bothered to check.
I have a wild idea. what if we supported our claims of fact by linking to a reliable source. better yet, what if we went hogwild and just straight up linked to the actual unpaywalled study
Scientists are people, and people are animals. We make mistakes. But damn, this is a hell of a mistake to make repeatedly for years.
I want to read the article but that's an endeavor. Just look at how the Abstract is written:
To attenuate microplastics pollution, we first must quantify the number and types of microplastics found in the natural environment and identify their sources. Quantifying environmental microplastics requires distinguishing synthetic polymers from other naturally occurring species. Quality assurance and control measures â including wearing gloves when handling laboratory materials and samples â seek to reduce overestimating microplastic abundance. However, commonly used laboratory gloves release non-volatile residues, including stearate salts, that exhibit vibrational spectra similar to microplastics. In this work, we illustrate that dry surface contact with nitrile and latex laboratory gloves can cause overestimations of microplastics (mean 2000 false positives per mm2) when using traditional library matching approaches. We recommend a nitrile cleanroom glove (mean 100 false positives per mm2) to reduce contamination. For existing contaminated infrared and Raman spectral datasets, we outline workflows that differentiate between microplastics and stearate contamination from gloves. Applying these workflows to a case study of glove-contaminated environmental data, we illustrate that the proposed solutions reduce MP false positives at the smallest size ranges (<10 ”m). By using this approach in conjunction with our included spectral libraries of stearate standards, researchers can address glove-based contamination in environmental datasets and provide more accurate estimates of environmental microplastic abundance.
I might use this as an activity to teach how to use AI to make complex writing more accessible.
Edit: thank you @nacho-business1 for reblogging this version with more resources.
@asteroidtroglodyte you know why I taggeth you~
I wanna talk about Brown.
The Greys, with their extremes, White & Black, are symmetrical mixtures of the 3 wavelengths we can perceive. I phrase it this way to highlight that Brown is the color space for all of the asymmetrical mixtures of all three colors.
Indoorsy folks and the artistically disinclined can tend to think Brown is boring, because their principle experience with Brown is chromatically homogenous brown liquids, like coffee, tea, brown-painted surfaces, etc.
Outdoorsy types, and Artists with a good Eye, on the other hand, often find that natural Browns are rich in detail and often quite beautiful, once the internal structure of their mix is revealed:
But really Seeing, not just Looking, is a skill, like the rest, and just because of how time works the most experienced folks are gonna be older. Makes sense weâd care about Brown more.
In particular, brown is complex asymmetrical mix of wavelengths â all, not just those perceived by our eyes â where most of them falls somewhere between Red, that we perceive as Red, and Yellow, that we perceive as Equally Distant From Red And Green. It's a shimmering complex mix of tones that primarily come from organic compounds.
Green means Chlorophyll, which means Plant Life That's Living And Transforming Light Into Itself Right Now;
Brown means Any Of Myriad Organic Compounds And Probably Lots Of Them. Brown means So Much Life Processes Happened Here. Brown means Life Was Here And Transformed This;
Green and Brown mean You Can Live Here.
Once you know this it's really hard not to fall in love with Brown.

POC Only: Is the wasian meetup weird
Yes

Okay so I obviously have no skin in this race (literally!) but I'm so glad I'm not crazy for thinking this.
The whole thing made my ass itch as a black mother to two half Vietnamese half black boys, would my kids be welcomed? Or would their cousin, who is half white and Viet, be welcomed instead? The hyper focus a lot of these types of Asian folks have on their proximity to whiteness is rotting their brains out. They stand for absolutely nothing, they are typically violently anti black and have fallen for the âAmerican dreamâ narrative because their Asian parent immigrated to the US and âworked hard and made something of themselves!!â Nightmare blunt rotation.
Reminds me of the Viet girl on tiktok doing a DNA test and she was hoping she was part French. FRENCH.
I'm wasian and I've been sounding the alarm on this for years, we are seen generally as a sort of "future race" where East Asians (yknow, the pale ones) have been conquered by the white men, and basically exist because of and for fetishization. That's why you'll see so many wasian people make jokes about white dads with Asian wives. It is a genuine problem but these people are addicted to being fetishized because it's attention and they feel consolidated as a group for the first time. Uhhh no. In my experience that has only led to bad people trying to sleep with me because I'm wasian. Wasians are seen as superior because they are Asian without the cultural baggage, they're westernized unlike their barbarous parents/grandparents, and they're still pale. Pale supremacy/colorism comes into play a LOT here.
Them excluding other mixed Asians only confirms my suspicions that this is a colorist celebration of the sexualization, infantilization, and commodification of our bodies. People think my eye folds are makeup because non Asian people draw it on to look Asian. People coo and aww when I tell them my ancestry not knowing it's one full of specifically Japanese American trauma. When I talk about that trauma they tell me to watch anime. I've been told I don't look Asian because I'm too fat, too hairy. Brown mixed Asians don't get this (double-ended) star treatment, though I would argue blasians do, for much the same reason as before but with several different inflections to count for antiBlackness and fetishization of Black bodies as the exotic. It's sex dollification. And they love it!
And y'all wonder why wasians come up to me expecting we'd share the same views of being mixed Asian, but get upset when I bluntly tell them we live completely different worlds
Which the way this person used our shared Korean heritage as an attempt to reconcile their own white guilt, but deliberately took out my Blackness made this all the more annoying. And apparently when they were complaining about the post in question, they framed it as, "this Black person is complaining about Asian communities, and they have no right to do that," and took away my Korean heritage in this conversation. Which I gotta say, very white of them
Saving this as a resource.
Actually hold on I am. Grabbing a shovel because there's something here holy shit
(some spoilers ahead for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie)
Got done watching the Mario 2 movie with family yesterday and it was. Okay. A series of references, gags, and familiar characters whose only purpose was for people to point at the screen and go "Look! It's Character!!". Which. For what it is, is fine. But god there's a story under here and I wish it could've made it to the screenâ
Because I got to thinking, the main problem with the Mario movie is it's scared to say something. The characters do things, but the narrative refuses to say anything about anything. It lacks any real themes to connect the movie together, leaving it feeling like a string of jokes.
But I think it could have said a whole lot about family.
Specifically, the complicated relationships you can have with family. With Peach and Rosalina's reuniting as sisters, we could've had themes on how family can make you better. How having roots and family there to support you make you more confident, bring out the best in you. One of Peach's only traits is not knowing where she came from. This could have been expanded on so well with her discovering that part of her with Rosalina, especially with their magic connecting together how it does. It'd be cheesy, but sweet in a way that would've added so much
Conversely, Bowser and Bowser Junior were right there for how family can make you worse. How old relationships can lock you down into who you used to be, keeping you from growing or becoming better. How it can be hard to tell family no. That's not me anymore. Honestly, I don't think too much of the movie would need to be changed for this element to work, just treat Bowser's wiggly flip flop in his redemption/corruption arc seriously, instead of just plot convenience. Though, expanding on Junior's side of it, adding in how he also might feel trapped about how his dad remembers him and the expectations Bowser may have could have driven the point home further.
Hell, throw Mario and Luigi in there too. Add some conflict between themânot something pulled out of nowhere, but something with some build upâand add some themes on how you can choose what kind of family you want to be. Do you want to change with them? Support them and help them grow? Or are you going to stay stuck with your old image of them? Cue, final act they choose each other and punch the Bowsers together with a corny one liner.
The entire main cast has these close familial ties to each other except for toad and yoshi because they added nothing but marketing but I digress, because I know I literally watched the Super Marketing Galaxy Movie and I can see how they could've said so much, if only it would've taken itself a little more seriously
You know what?
I think I could make this into an ELA project. Kids have to make a video essay about a movie where they want to improve it. But they have to go deep like this. No "I wouldn't have done something stupid like that." They have to talk about the themes, the character motivations, and then point out where the movie is lacking.
Nothing literary either; this project should focus on popular media.

WaitâŠwhy are busses depicted as a dangerous way to commute in American media?
I never really thought about it before but busses are one of the safest ways to commute to work I can imagine. Iâm not ever worried when I take the train but if I had to pick which Iâd feel more safe on it would be the bus.
I used to travel between towns late at night when I was a teenager/young adult woman and it would be straight up cozy and a nice way to end my day.
I think a bus feels safter to me because the driver is always right there in case something happens, while youâre kinda on your own on a train late at night.
So did you ever see Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Remember the plotline about the Red Car trolley being bought out and dismantled by Cloverleaf, and the villain's Big Reveal that they planned to demolish Toontown and put a highway through it, and people would use it because the Red Car trolley wasn't there to use anymore and so they'd be FORCED to buy a car?
That really happened, in the US. Only instead of the villain being an evil cartoon posing as a judge, the villain was General Motors and Ford and all the big car companies. They bought public transit lines and dismantled them. They lobbied congress to fund the interstate highway system and they CONTINUE to lobby the us govt to keep trains and public transit from having any money, while making sure the roads get lots of it. They are responsible not only for the dismantling of public transit but also the public's perception that public transit is bad and even dangerous.
American media thinks busses and trains are dangerous because the car companies have spent DECADES and billions of dollars on propaganda making sure Americans think that so they will continue to buy cars and not question how much roads and highways have destroyed the landscape.
its also a healthy dosage of classism and ableism and a hatred of homeless people and addicts all of which are the largest demographic of people who use the public bus
and racism its America after all those highways went through Black and brown neighborhoods first and for most and were created as part of White flight to the the suburbs
It's brief, but he does talk about how ToonTown was meant to be those Black/Brown communities
Odd that there are no Black/Brown people in this film unless you count Mickey Mouse and friends
Der 8. Mai war ein Tag der Befreiung. Er hat uns alle befreit von dem menschenverachtenden System der nationalsozialistischen Gewaltherrschaft.
May 8th was a day of liberation. It freed us all from the inhuman system of National Socialist tyranny.
Richard von WeizsĂ€cker (1920 â 2015), German politician, sixth president of the Federal Republic of Germany
Background: This statement was revolutionary at its time. Until the early 1980s, the (West) German society was ambivalent with regards to the end of World War II. Although it was generally acknowledged that it was the end of a tyrannic dictatorship that had committed unprecedented crimes against humanity, there was still a lingering feeling of defeat present in large parts of the (West) German population instead of gratefulness for the liberation (and the subsequent help from and reconciliation with the nations of the world). This started to change after Richard von WeizsÀcker's speech of May 8, 1985, before the Federal Diet of the Federal Republic of Germany. It was a milestone in the West German VergangenheitsbewÀltigung, the continually ongoing process of coming to terms with the atrocities of Nazi Germany.
'Saturn' by Mitchell (1970)
The artist's full name is Horace Mitchell! I just learned a lot more about him in a fascinating article that came out today - How a Houston company got its art on the walls of stoners across America.
Here's the section that talks about this artist and poster:
Horace Mitchell was an undergraduate student at Rice University in 1968. Though he was studying physics, he was an amateur artist who loved science fiction novels and comic books. After reading about the Houston Blacklight in a local paper, Mitchell went to downtown Houston, sketchbook in tow. He sold his sketches to Jones, which would become the basis of four posters the company would publish: "The Trip," "Hassles," "Saturn" and "Chess." Mitchell was inspired by the work of the legendary Marvel Comics artists Jim Steranko and Jack Kirby, whose covers depicted towering characters set against psychedelic space-age landscapes.
"I had always sketched and drawn even as a kid," Mitchell remembered. "I got this bug that I would try to draw some big things."
The posters that went to market are different from what Mitchell drew. Some were resized, and colors were changed to be trippier under a black light. But for Mitchell, it was an exercise in representing abstract emotions and thoughtsâideas like space and time, optimism about the futureâin accessible ways.
"It was sort of groundbreaking, the kinds of things they put in the posters that then wound up hanging in students' rooms because they represented ideas that really resonated with the students," Mitchell said.
That experience would serve him well in a much different role. After he finished his master's and PhD, Mitchell went on to work at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, running the agency's Scientific Visualization Studio in 1991, making hundreds of videos explaining everything from Mars' magnetic fields to hurricane animations. His work has been on news channels around the nation and even appeared in Leonardo DiCaprio's 2016 documentary Before the Flood. But he has always seen his work for the Houston Blacklight as the foundation of his career.
"I always had a joke: people would ask, 'Well, are you a real artist?' And I'll say, yes, I am. I'm published, but only because of those four things that got printed," Mitchell joked.
Here's the full collection of Houston Blacklight posters, from University of Houton's digital collections.

Excellent example of how we notice new details when we rewatch. Like close reading with your eyes.
when i was 10 same sex marriage was legalised in england and wales. that summer i went to so many weddings. there were weeks i went to a wedding every single day, some days we had to choose which wedding to go to. i loved it cuz i got to dress up and hang out w a bunch of happy ppl and eat food and dance. when i see that quote abt how gay ppl during the aids crisis had to choose between funerals it reminds me of that summer. of how far weve come and how far we still have to go. hiv is now controllable with a pill once a day. only 6 ppl have ever been cured of aids. the uk wasnt hit nearly as hard by hiv/aids as other countries like it, partly cuz of a massive public information campaign. 20,000 ppl still died. i went to so many 10 year anniversary parties last year.
