Rapping to Convert Metric Measurements
Well I'm back at it....trying to find ways to make the startup of the science school year fun. Fun and learning rules just never seem to go together.
I'm armed with an array of lab safety games, the Absent Minded Professor Skits and MatchUps.
But when I started looking for fun ways to teach conversion of metric units of measure....well, you can probably see where things started to go awry. Then I remembered Teacher Tube...a place where many colleagues are doing incredibles things with video. I found Mrs. Burt who was rapping about converting from big to small and small to big units. That may not sound so critical to a blog reader, but to an 11 or 12 year old kid, it's huge. They never understand when to multiply and when to divide. I think she does a crackerjack job. See what you think.
Kudos to Mrs. Burt for being brave to rap, for having such a great way to remember which operation to use and for sharing with those us who can't do what you're doing!!!!
