By far, my students’ favorite way to review for tests and quizzes was a game we called “Keep Your Shirt On.” I found that I was able to use this game for virtually any subject and any grade level. No matter what subject, my students’ scores increased dramatically! As long as your students can read, they can use this tool.
Keep Your Shirt On was a great review game before math tests (multiplication, division, addition, subtraction or properties), Social Studies (state capitals, explorers, landforms…) and especially Science!

Engineering plays a prominent role in our lives, whether or not we realize it. Every day, someone creates something we never heard of before: a synthetic ice skating rink… a new form of cardboard that weighs less than a feather… a faster, lighter drone. So it’s no wonder we had a tough time deciding on articles about new engineering feats! Until it dawned on us that the engineers themselves, not their advances, are what really capture our interest.
Need help launching a class discussion on engineering? We’ve compiled some awesome ideas. Some of these websites offer ready-to-go lessons… others share exciting interviews with scientists involved in engineering. All of them are worth a visit!
