Lemon Tea

Up to thirty five students 1st through 6th
Health Science Chemistry
Lemon: Ascorbic acid, Vitamin “C” acid
Water: H2O, Crystal Geyser, All natural, California mountain spring water, Concepts: solubility and solvency
Honey: sweetener
Concept: high viscosity, Bee pollen and “B” vitamins
Hygiene: Wash hands with a small drop of soap.
During this time, rinse lemon, small flow of water for each student.

Materials:
1. Wash 1 lemon
2. Towel dry
3. Use to wipe desk throw away.

Each student has
1 lemon
1 small cup with a spot of honey inside at bottom
One wooden stir stick
2 napkins
Group
One plastic knife per row of five to seven students
ONE-Gallon CRYSTAL GEYSER WATER!

# First balance the lemon atop the cup! 3min trials.
Lick off honey
Viscosity how thick

Cut lemon in half
Squeeze lemon into cup easy; Throw away peels in proper waste bin.
Return to seat stir honey in lemon mixture. Melting the honey chemistry
Now we add the solvent. Water!

Solvent: dilutes the lemon acid levels and starts to liquefy the honey. H2o
Materials: 40 wooden stir sticks
Small paper cup 5-6 oz.
One lemon for each student
1Package of napkins
One small bear of honey squeeze ¼ in. drop in bottom of cup before handing out cups begin the squeeze. Get about 15 ahead.
Gloves, for students to wipe up.
Each student files through to wash hands and lemon
Then they dry wipe desk throw away and return to pick up
Cup, stir stick and lemon
Return to desk
Balance math, cut in half, fractions
Look at honey feel with stick.
Thick, vitamins
Add lemon, leave peels on desk
Mix honey and lemon, scent lemon
What happens to the honey? soft, runny
Now teacher pours in the natural solvent. H2o about ¾ full.
Stir and drink!
How does your body respond to the lemon tea? Right now in fifteen minutes?
Write about the experiment you just performed.

Lemon Tea
A Natural Remedy

When you feel stuffy or snuffley,
Make, “Lemon Tea.”
It’s good for the soul and makes a cough go away!
When you feel down right rotten, there’s a natural cure.
Drink, Lemon Tea you’ll feel better for sure.
It’s a healthy natural remedy.

Snuffley: is a made up word. A silly way to say stopped up.

Many students know of someone or have their very own citrus tree.
When you are needing healing the ascorbic acid in lemons, oranges, and grapefruits can help our body heal. Ascorbic acid also known as vitamin “C.”

How to Learn the Spanish Alphabet

10 minutes Class Introduction
Students will watch a video to hear the pronunciation of the letters and vowels of the alphabet, the first time they will listen and watch. The video will be played a second time so that they can repeat all the letters and vowels and practice.

45 minutes Class Instruction
Students will listen and repeat each letter sound and vowel sound of the letters of the alphabet very slow so that each have an understanding of the pronunciation. Students will play a game to catch the ball and try to pronounce the letter given. They will write each similarity they find in both alphabets (English and Spanish). They will copy the letters of the alphabet and get with a partner to practice the pronunciation. They will cut each letter and will write the pronunciation on the back of the letters.

In Class project/Homework
Students will make flashcards of all the letters of the alphabet and will find a word that begins with each letter. They will also draw a picture representing the word they used for the letter.

Common Core Math Grade 8 Represent Proportional Relationships

In Grade 6, students were introduced to ratios and unit rate. They learned to use ratio reasoning to solve problems.
Proportional relationships were a major focus in Grade 7. Students learned to compute unit rates that included fractions as well as determine if a relationship is proportional. They represented proportional relationships in graphs, equations, tables, diagrams, and verbal descriptions.
In this lesson, students will extend their understanding of proportional relationships to discover that they are one kind of linear function.

Common Core Math Grade 7 Ratios Involving Complex Fractions

Ratios (including rates, ratios, proportions, and percents) are commonplace in everyday life and critical for further study in math and science. In Grade 7, students extend the concepts of unit rate developed in Grade 6 to applications involving complex fractions. They transition from solving problems primarily with visual models to applying familiar algorithms. This lesson focuses on solving unit-rate problems that involve complex fractions. Students model real-world situations that involve ratios with fractions in the numerator and/or denominator. They learn to connect the process of simplifying complex fractions with the algorithm for the division of fractions. They learn how to interpret simplified ratios as unit rates to solve real-world problems.

Common Core Math Grade 6 Division with Fractions

In Grade 5, students divided whole numbers by unit fractions.
Students continue this understanding in Grade 6 by using visual models and equations to divide whole numbers by fractions and fractions by fractions to solve word problems.
In Grade 7, students will continue their work with fractions to include all rational number operations (positive and negative). Students will build on understanding of number lines developed in Grade 6.
