Science Students will watch a video about rollercoasters, then design their own on paper. Alternative 1: Instead of showing the video, share information with students found at http://4rollercoasters.4anything.com/net... Read to students, or provide each student with a copy. Alternative 2: If you are really fortunate and every student has access to a computer, consider the activity at http://4rollercoasters.4anything.com/net... . Here you can build a very cool virtual rollercoaster--with complete explanation as to how every choice affects the coaster. Supplies A video about rollercoasters; consider taping a PBS or Discovery Channel program--I see such programs offered at least a few times a month in my area -OR- a photocopy of Amusement Park Physics from the the link above -OR- a computer for each student with capability to reach http://4rollercoasters.4anything.com/net... . VCR and television (if using a video) One piece of graph paper per student One pencil per student Directions 1. Explain to students that today they will be drawing their own design of a rollercoaster. Pass out graph paper and pencils. 2. Show the video, or 30 minutes of it, encouraging students to pay close attention to the engineering/physics aspects. 3. Have students draw their dream coaster. 4. If there is time, have students share their creations. Music This lesson is designed for use by the music sub with no music background. Students will use a recent list of http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot100.a... Billboard Magazine's Hot 100 songs to create puzzles to share with classmates. Supplies One photocopy per student (or per two students) of a recent Hot 100 list found at the link above One piece of graph paper per student One pencil per student Directions 1. Distribute Hot 100 lists, paper and pencils to students. 2. Explain to students they are to design a puzzle (wordsearch, crossword, or other type of their own choosing) using the Hot 100 list. If some students work very quickly, you may have them either create another puzzle or decorate their puzzle page. 3. When done, have students pass their puzzle to another student to complete. Art Again, this is designed for the non-artistic guest teacher. Students will create a folkart checkerboard. Supplies One piece of construction paper or drawing paper per student (heavy manila graph paper works great)
