He wears a blue oxford cloth shirt and khakis, and his light brown hair is gelled up into spikey peaks. “Does anyone have a bunch of golf balls?” He tosses out toward the backs of the 20 other students in his physics classroom at San Diego’s High Tech High, who are also seated at computer screens ranged around three of the four classroom walls.

“I want to find out how many golf balls will fit into a cubic foot,” he says. “You know the little spaces between golf balls? I have to figure that out, too. “If you convert the volume of the stadium into cubic inches, you would divide that by the volume of the golf ball,” answers Steve James, a tall slim boy with black hair combed back smoothly over his skull.

The two teenagers bend over a piece of paper on a table, James talking excitedly as he sketches and scribbles formulas and calculations, Gomez watching. Kidsruby.com.

This week, we’re featuring ten learnist boards celebrating African-American history month . These boards showcase African Americans who have or are currently impacting American society, including one short board that argues against African American history month, stating that historians and the public should be attentive to African American perspective in all renditions of history every day–that a month should be unnecessary.

Regardless, we will take this time to pay tribute to individuals and movements in African-American history that have helped shape the nation.

This week’s Learnist Top 10 is dedicated to material and experiences that develop or enrich elementary students in reading, writing, and research. It features several boards from elementary blended learning expert Carrie Sorenson, material from homeschooling mom Kimberly Charron, and boards that reinforce reading and writing through art, cooking, and other experiences. Integrating experiences into student’s worlds makes them more interested in reading and literacy.

Learning Culture Through Food: China Carrie Sorensen’s series “Learning Culture through Food” is based on experiential learning.
