Lab Safety Bitstrips comic

Incorporate Bitstrips using lab safety in science!  http://www.bitstrips.com/pageone/ is a free site and allows students to create their own comic strips.  I used the site for lab safety posters.  More examples are on my blog from August 2011, but here is one example:

The Weird Number - Natural Numbers or Fraction Activity

The Weird Number video is a quirky way to incorporates writing in math, as well as individuality and creativity.  Students watch part of The Weird Number video; stop at 3:31, just after the cloak is pulled from the unknown number.  Show the clip several times, allowing students to jot down details, such as character names and descriptions, setting details, etc.  After students have ideas and details down, they finish the story by writing what happens next.  In order to enhance the story, students also make a visual, by depicting a scene from their original story.
