Many people see art as something with many barriers to entry – maybe the materials are expensive, maybe you don't have the space, or maybe you think it's difficult, requiring many specialized tools. Sometimes that's true, but the artists here have created incredible works using almost nothing but paper and scissors or knives.
Most of us know but do not know in people have computers in their boxes, power supplies or other parts used in the fan inside the tiny regulator circuit, usuall

Learning the differences between biomes, ecosystems, and habitats can be confusing; but the Biomes of the World series from Let’s Get Real makes it crystal clear with easy-to-understand definitions, maps, and a wide variety of resources, including this free WHAT IS A BIOME? poster. This 11 x 17 poster highlights the differences between biomes, ecosystems, and habitats, with simple descriptions and colorful photographs. Vocabulary Enrichment Words: aquatic, biome, desert, ecosystem, forest, habitat, taiga, tropical, temperate, tundra Targeted Skills: Understanding the differences between biomes, ecosystems, and habitats Critical thinking skills of comparing and contrasting (analysis) Building content-area literacy in science Image Credits: The poster features real-life photographs from a variety of sources, including copyright-free images, copyrighted images licensed under the Creative Commons, and copyrighted images that I have purchased for commercial use. Please see the Image Credits Page, included with the poster, for a detailed list of image sources. Technical Info: The poster is in PDF format, combined with the Image Credits page in a zip file. Author’s Note: If you find biomes confusing, you’re not alone. In researching this topic, I found that educational resources define biomes and ecosystems in many different ways. For this introductory look at biomes, I relied on the categories most often used in the scientific community. _________________________________________________________________ RELATED RESOURCES: THE AQUATIC BIOME Activity Book THE DESERT BIOME Activity Book THE FOREST BIOME Activity Book THE GRASSLAND BIOME Activity Book THE TUNDRA BIOME Activity Book ANIMAL ADAPTATIONS: Survival in a Changing World (featuring two adaptations for each biome) BIOMES AND ECOSYSTEMS ACTIVITY PACK BIOMES AND ECOSYSTEMS: Interactions Among Living Organisms and Environments (Science Foundations series) BIOMES AND ECOSYSTEMS POSTER PACK BIOMES AND ECOSYSTEMS POWERPOINT SERIES HABITATS AND HOMES IN THE WORLD’S BIOMES Teaching with TOOBS® BIOMES BUNDLE CLICK HERE to preview all of my Biomes and Ecosystems resources. _________________________________________________________________ Connect with Let’s Get Real Visit My Store: Click here to view more than 400 resources for meeting your science and social studies standards.

Welcome back to school! Over the summer, my husband and I played an Escape Game. If y'all aren't familiar, the concept is that you are "locked" in a room that is filled with clues to help you escape. The clues usually involve code-breaking, riddle-solving and just plain old hide-n-seek. We had so much fun that I decided to bring the concept to the art room. I thought it would be a great way to introduce my kids to the rules, routines and the space that we call the art room. It was such a blast that I thought I'd share it with y'all! As the students entered the art room, I had one kid stand at the door and pass out these small slips of paper. There were 7 different colors with about 5 of each. This year I average about 32 third and fourth graders per class so I needed to make sure I had enough for everyone. Once seated on the floor, I started this video: A whole lotta (poor) editing went into this bad boy. Apparently I forget to edit the part where I adjust my wig. AND, if you make it all the way to the end of this video, you'll catch a look of how I really felt wearing that too-tight head piece and super-sweaty pleather jacket. Regardless, the kids ATE.IT.UP. Just before I let them have at it, I read them the wee rules of the game... Now, if you're worried that the kids will get a lil to wild playing this game, I found a sure-fire trick: Tell them there are SPIES watching. I fibbed to the kids and told them that before class had started, I had pulled aside a couple of kids to be my spies. Their job was to listen and share the secrets they overheard with other teams. Oh my goodness, y'all. Those fourth graders took that so seriously it was bananaz! My only other rule was no running...I have a big room and there was A LOT of excitement. But we can't be running in the art room, y'all. Once I gave them the go-ahead, the kids immediately teamed up and went to their coordinating table. There they found this: To make things easy for myself, I made all the puzzles identical. Some kids figured out that they were just to look for the yellow heart...but my rule was that all puzzles had to be solved before moving on to the next. My favorite was when one team said, "our puzzle is too hard!"...and I'm all, "Dudes. They are all the same." Once the puzzles were solved, the kids went in search of their heart. I made sure to hide these pretty well so it was a bit like an Easter egg hunt. Once they found their box, the kids discovered the following inside: A dry erase board and marker, a decoder and a code to solve. Each of the seven boxes contained riddles which revealed the class rules. They were to solve the riddle and return to our spot on the floor with their dry erase board. Just in case you'd like to use the code feel free! The Rockin' Riddle Rules the kids solved here: have fun, be respectful, follow directions, raise your hand, take pride and be nice. They were highly engaged, that's for sure! Once everyone had their rules, I played the next clip in the video where I chat about each rule. Then we were on to a self-guided room tour complete with a back-stage pass. (Yes, we refer to the place to put our dirty paint brushes as a "hot tub". Don't judge.) I tried to think of the places in my art room where the kids would visit the most. I also came up with fun clues to help them find those places. I had specific dry erase marker colors in each spot so they couldn't just write the answers in. Also, I had them go to the places on their pass in the order listed so we wouldn't have any traffic jams. A peek at how I labeled the places and placed the markers. Where we play the Smartest Artist game. After the passes were full, we met again on the floor. In the next part of the video, I take them on a tour explaining the different places in the art room and emergency procedures. The final phase of the game was a "solo mission". Each artist was given three Post-It's and a Sharpie. They could pick from any of the six questions on my board to answer in a complete sentence. Once finished, they returned to the floor where we played a quick round of Smartest Artist before heading out the door. You.Guys. I hadn't had a chance to read what they had written until this morning. It made my day! I mean... This was only after a couple of classes had a chance to write. I can't wait to see these filled up! I plan to hang them around the school for our Open House Night. Because my focus is Peace, Love and Kindess this year, this is an important question for my kids. Their responses let me know that they KNOW the answer...we just gotta make it happen. Thank you for allowing me to share this super fun way to kick off the school year! Feel free to steal any ideas you see here. I'd LOVE to know if you do this kind of thing with your students. The kids told me that they are excited to play this kind of game again...which can only mean that this will be a new and fun way to introduce new concepts to the kids. An Elements of Art Escape Game, anyone?! YES, PLEASE!
