This resource is a science driven, easy to use pack to use when investigating all things pumpkin! Pumpkinology is a great way to incorporate kindergarten science standards in a fun, fall themed way.

Cut off the top of a pumpkin and let them scoop out the insides to count seeds, estimate how many counting cubes tall is a pumpkin, how many paperclips will it take to fit around the pumpkin? Will the pumpkin sink or float? What is the life cycle of a pumpkin? Color or use tissue paper to produce a tear art version to create their very own pumpkin.

I use this resource in my classroom on October 31st as part of our fall party! We investigate all things pumpkin and the grand finale is when we carve a face on the pumpkin, add in baking soda, vinegar and green food coloring to make the pumpkin explode (outside of course)! This is a day your students will remember for years to come!

Teachers can use it as a:

• Halloween party and make each investigation a station
• Week long investigation of pumpkin attributes
• Science project to let little learners estimate what they think will happen
• Fall fun pack
• Lesson on the life cycle of a pumpkin

Happy pumpkin investigating!

Giant Keyboard (Mac/Apple). Are you teaching a technology or keyboarding class? Do you have a computer lab you need to decorate? This giant printable keyboard would be great to print out, cut the keys apart, laminate and place on your wall. This wall sized keyboard is modeled after a Mac / Apple keyboard. Keys come in two sizes: 6"x5.8" & 4"x4" *Updated 9/1/15* Keyboard now includes the number pad, arrows and other keys. Large size prints 1 key per page. The size measures approximately 60"x20" (using spacing show in image) once you have cut out the letters / assembled the keyboard, but really depends on how much space you want to put between the keys. This is based off a Mac / Apple Keyboard. I have included both a color and black/white version so if you wanted to save that color ink, and print the black and white on colored paper, you can easily do that. Pages are separated out by the colors they should be printed on and I have included an image to show you which pages should be printed in a color group. Need the PC version?

Looking for a fun and engaging way to teach Java programming? Look no further than "How'd You Make That!? Java Programming Labs: Pong! Designed with increasing levels of difficulty, this lab helps students develop their coding skills step-by-step. Students will create the classic game of Pong!

In Bounce Beginner, students will use the code provided to create the game. Much of the background coding has been done for them so they will be concentrating on creating and using objects and designing the game. To complete this level students need to understand how to use methods and create objects. If you are following my year long curriculum, students should be about to Java 7: Looping Statements.

find it here: https://www.TeachShare.com/Product/Conditional-Logic-Looping-Statements-Programming-in-Java-Course-Lesson-7-11442572?st=6c6d80137b7b90c3f710822ac0fb1d65

At the Paddle Pupil level, students will fill in some provided classes and create their own versions. Some of the lowest level code has been done for them, but they will write most of the game with a skeleton. To complete this level students need to understand anything from the Bounce Beginner level in addition to how to create objects and pass parameters. If you are following my year long curriculum, students should be about to Java 10: Advanced Techniques

find it here: https://www.TeachShare.com/Product/Programming-in-Java-10-Creating-Classes-Advanced-Techniques-11554313?st=169afb79277cd7361882e187f3762588

At the Court Champion level, students will create the game from scratch. This requires them to understand Timers, collision, and how use graphics. Students will be given general direction, but creating the game will mostly be up to them. To complete this level students need to understand anything from the Paddle Pupil level in addition to Timers, collision, and basic use of the extends keyword. If you are following my year long curriculum, students should be about to Java 18: Collision Detection

find it here: https://www.TeachShare.com/Product/Programming-in-Java-18-Collision-Detection-12050305?st=fdb66e1be81e92fbf4d0b050bba21a23

This lab is fully equipped with an answer key, a basic lab manual for teachers, and a student guide that walks students through each level. Perfect for high school computer science classes or AP Computer Science A, this resource is ideal for both in-class instruction and independent learning.
