Heavy work has been used to help calm and stimulate students with sensory needs for years! You are probably already using some heavy work activities and you might not even realize it! So what is heavy work? Heavy work is an activity that either pushes or pulls against the body and provides the muscles and joints with input. Heavy work activities can be beneficial to EVERY student but can be particularly helpful for students with sensory processing needs. Heavy work can help students feel regulated and focused. Heavy work activities fall into 3 main categories: Whole body/ gross motor activities (like pushing, pulling, lifting, and moving) Oral activities (like chewing, sucking, and blowing) Fine motor/ use of hands (like squeezing and pinching) 1) Examples of gross motor/ whole body heavy work at home and school include: Pushing & pulling objects / items: Vacuuming, sweeping, moping Pushing someone on a swing Pushing a heavy/ full grocery cart Pulling a heavy/ full wagon Pushing heavy doors open Raking leaves Dusting furniture/ wiping tables Cleaning the white board Scooters Climbing on the playground or obstacle courses Lifting heavy objects/ items: Carrying everyday household objects (laundry basket, groceries, taking out trash, etc.) Playing toss/ passing games with weighted balls or weighted toys Carrying buckets of sand or water Yoga & exercises with body weight Carrying a heavy lunch bucket/ basket Stacking and un-stacking chairs Jumping & bounding on/ with items: Jumping on a trampoline Jumping/ falling into beanbags Bouncing on therapy balls/ chairs Jump roping Gymnastics Climbing/ hanging on items: Hanging/ swinging on monkey bars Rope swings/ rings Rock walls Ladders and slides 2) Oral heavy work activities at home and school include: Chewing food items: Gummy candies (like gummy bears, licorice and Sour Patch Kids) Bagels Gum Cheese Dried fruit (raisins, craisins, mango, etc.) Dried meat (beef jerky, turkey jerky) Popcorn Blowing activities: Blowing bubbles Blowing up balloons Using whistles Blow party favor toys (like kazoos) Blowing through a straw Sucking activities: Sucking through fun straws (bendy or twisty straws are awesome!) Using water bottles with straws Drinking smoothies or milkshakes with a straw Hard candies Popsicles & lollipops 3) Fine motor heavy work activities at home and school include: Resistance toys and activities: Using stamps and molds with Play Doh Using spray bottles to spray cleaner on tables or water plants Cutting thick paper or cardboard with scissors Putting clothespins on materials Bingo dabbers Ripping heavy/ thick paper Writing & working on vertical services: Writing and drawing on vertical or slanted chalkboard or whiteboard Erasing and cleaning/ wiping chalkboard or whiteboard Tabletop easels for art or writing Cleaning/ wiping vertical surfaces above eye level (like doors, walls, showers, etc.) It's also important to observe your students and take data to determine what activities calm and stimulate (or over stimulate) your students. You should remember that what calms one student might over stimulate another student. There are so many different ways to incorporate heavy work into your day! Take the time to figure out what works best for your students and then start sprinkling the activities throughout your day!

Engage your middle school science students in a thrilling investigation with "The Case of the Vanishing Density Data" activity! In this immersive classroom experience, students become detectives as they work to solve the mystery of the disappearing experiment data. Set the scene with a captivating backstory: it's a cloudy afternoon at Crestwood Middle School, and the science lab is abuzz with excitement. Mrs. Green, the science teacher, has planned an intriguing experiment to explore the concept of density. But when the data tables vanish into thin air, the experiment takes an unexpected turn into a thrilling investigation. With their safety goggles on and detective hats in place, students embark on a journey to reconstruct the missing data table. Armed with their knowledge of density and scientific inquiry skills, they work in teams to measure the volume and mass of various liquids, calculate their densities, and compare results. Through hands-on experimentation, collaborative discussion, and critical thinking, students not only deepen their understanding of density but also develop essential scientific skills such as data collection, analysis, and interpretation. The activity culminates in a classroom-wide discussion of findings and reflections on the importance of accuracy in scientific experiments. This resource provides comprehensive teacher directions, including step-by-step instructions for setting up the experiment, guiding student groups, facilitating discussions, and assessing student understanding. Additionally, a detailed rubric is included to help evaluate student-generated data tables, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and completeness. With "The Case of the Vanishing Density Data," transform your classroom into an exciting detective story where students become the heroes of scientific inquiry! Are you ready to join the investigation and help crack the case? Let the adventure begin! Thank you for visiting Black-Eyed Susan Science!
