Transparent, Translucent and Opaque

Anonymous — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 22:53:00 GMT

This is a poster I made when I was teaching about properties of light. It shows a solid object (the yellow string of yarn) being placed behind different types of paper (transparent, translucent, and opaque). I cut out rectangular samples from different paper sources: clear cellophane packaging for transparent paper, waxed paper for translucent paper, and colored card stock paper for opaque paper.

Here's a quick activity that students can do to compare the degree of transparency among these different types of paper: Use three similar flashlights, a rubber-band to secure each sheet of paper over the face of the flashlight. Turn of the classroom lights to get the room dark enough, then flick on the flash lights simultaneously to shine at the wall. Your students can try this with other types of paper like tissue paper, transparency paper, recycled paper, etc, and sort these types of paper on in a table or sort them in a continuum that goes from transparent to opaque.

Have fun!

Truth or Lie: Activity for any classroom

I recently responded to a blog challenge by a video recording of myself - you can see it by clicking here. Most EFL teachers are probably aware of the activity where students are asked to say some things about themselves, and the others are to guess if they're true or false. I suggested taking this a step further and have the students bring video recordings of themselves saying those things. But

I am a Teacher in Texas that works for a great district at an awesome school that has been hit really hard with the State's Budget cuts to educational funding recently...it has been heartbreaking to see co workers not get their contracts renewed ... Teacher to Student Ratio will be 40:1 No raises for us..and no jobs available anywhere..it is tough times.

I am offering a buy 1 get 1 through the end of TODAY....I don't have anything priced over $3.00 and have many great engaging units and activities posted that you may like to try :)

Just send me an email to tcmscheer@att.net and tell me what you purchased and what you would like for your freebie! Simple as that!

Nuclear Energy Power Debate: What's the way forward?

Anonymous — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 16:36:00 GMT

With all the headlines on the problems of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant in Northern Japan, now is a good time as any to have a debate on the viability of nuclear power as a source of energy. The strongest objection of the anti-nuclear power lobby are the safety concerns, but what other methods of producing cheap clean energy have we got? Is nuclear power a dirty word? Is alternative energy
