mathematicians and their works, math symbols or concepts, science words and definitions,
literary characters or authors and the titles of novels, photos of landforms and their names,
foreign words and English translations, etc.
Pre-Colombian Cultures
Using preselected websites would work with math.
Plant Structures

or landforms for physical science, natural objects to illustrate geometric shapes for math,

Probability
The mathematic concept of probability translates into science when dealing with flood frequency,
population genetics, etc.
Thesaurus Rewrites of Aphorisms
In science, one could rewrite songs or sayings, replacing the common names of organisms with the
scientific names.
Anytime Review
This activity could be adapted for mythology flashcards, physics practice problems and answers,
rock and landform identifications for physical geography, etc.
Narrative-Descriptive Essay
Math involves writing assignments also. Another application would be to project word problems on the
board and use a color scheme to diagram the problem as a preliminary for setting up an equation.
Glossary of Literary Terms
One could do a glossary of math terms, medical terms, psychological terms, mythological terms,
anthropological terms, etc.
Inspiration Software for Communications
