Glue

Through the years of school there is so much taught never used. I remember a couple teachers for things they said or did.

Asking Mr Jones (avaition class) if high speed through the atmosphere causes things to freeze why do coments burn up when they come through the atmosphere. Didnt know and asked the physic teacher, didn't know.. now I am asking google a.i.

One class not paying attention, the teacher asked why I was looking up at the celing n it was fun memory of the laughs telling em about the spider I was watching

Mr Poling told about working in oil fields or the moose giving us the option of 5 whacks or detentions.



In school I was as I am now looking up at spiders instead of things I should be doing. Mr Jones taken me out to the airport to get an altimeter for a science fair project.



I imagine all kind of mount pleasant related things to classes taught in school.

My thoughts on weather are connected to photography, but it is something your students will watch and discuss all their lives.

Get em to watch a weather report . I do not remember 99% of all they said 10 minutes later.
If you have a class you can inject a minute comment (if they exist) look out the window and ask what kind of clouds or with the weather data ask what the likely sky will be tonight

Not to be a class on weather, but to be peppered in now and then, some stuff that will stick with them.

With the phones they can identify bugs, plants, birds not far field trip for younger classes..

(Think it was the 5th grade) a teacher took kids on a bird watch.

If classes can go to Europe on trips, Mt Pleasant is not that much further.


Math lessons connected to Mount Pleasant. I thought of some fun problems. Holding on to a merry go round, how fast before you fall off? The circumference of the earth in lancaster ohio, how fast is the earth orbiting and how much force is there to eject us from the earth

Fun and applied learnings connected to our own turf.

I liked story problems but they would have more sticking power if they were part of something I was connected to.

I suppose if a lesson was about things that happen with tempature change, there might be pictures along with charts and data or a teacher might share how a climb up the trail in snow was and on another day after it melted and refroze .. what would kids likely remember or pop back when they were out on such a day?
