Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week,
thanks to my PLN. As a teacher, I feel we have to keep up to date concerning
research in our field and current issues in the education system. I hope some
of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you
for coming by and visiting!

Historic
Cities Map Quiz – “Cities evolve, but the old core stays same. Or does
it? We’ve trawled the archives for a selection of historic maps. Can you ID the
cities?” (L:H;SA:SS)
Football
physics: The "impossible" free kick – a TED-ed talk; “In
1997, Brazilian football player Roberto Carlos set up for a 35 meter free kick
with no direct line to the goal. Carlos’s shot sent the ball flying wide of the
players, but just before going out of bounds it hooked to the left and soared
into the net. How did he do it? Erez Garty describes the physics behind one of
the most magnificent goals in the history of football.” (L:H;SA:PE, S)
How
Seashells Are Made – “If you know that seashells are made of basically
the same stuff as chalk, you might have wondered why chalk is crumbly but
seashells are super tough. This week on Reactions, we explain: The secret’s in
the biochemistry.” (L:G;SA:S)
Number Chart
– “Number Chart is a fun and educational activity, which helps children see the
relationships and patterns among numbers up to 120. To play the game, children
will choose a level of difficulty, and then be asked to place numbers on the
correct spot within the Number Chart. Complete the activity for a fun surprise!”
