Online Measurement Conversion

I admit to all the FACS teachers out there - when I had a student who could not work fractions and you gave him or her a worksheet to do that involved converting measurements (how many Tbsp in a cup sort of thing) I just pulled up this site and let them do it this way. I wasn't going to be able to teach several years of math just to cover one assignment. And frankly if I needed to do this in my own this is exactly how I'd do it.

Their tagline is "Convert just about anything to anything else. Over 5,000 units, and 50,000 conversions."

onlineconversion.com is a free site, but they do have ads and can make money if you click the ads to check out their sponsors.

Make your own planner

Ah, organizing students (or ourselves). One of the greater challenges in our profession.

This site lets you make a personal organizer with a cover and 6 pages inside.

You can choose from the following options to put inside the organizer:
Cover, Blank, Writing lines, sizes of grids, table, story board, music staff, music tab, calendar (daily, weekly, monthly, deadline, appointments full year 06 and 07), lists, shopping list, contacts, check book, food diary, conversions, formulas, tip tables, morse code, Dvorak keyboard, dots, SuDoku, SuDoku Blank, tic tac toe, folding guide, Franklin's Virtues, and emergency contacts.

www.pocketmod.com is a free site, but they do have ads and can make money if you click the ads to check out their sponsors. (Like this site, only their ads are at the bottom of the page rather than the right side)

Whew.

Photographs of Food

Saskatchewan Canada Schools have pages of a variety of food photographs. We used these when needing to provide photos for assessments but these could be used for nutrition units as well.
