Make themrelate to something real, and the kids will remember them. Repetition is fine, but boring and they will not really learn it for the long haul. Try songs, poems, rhymes, stories, movements. Ask them to tell a partner what they know about the word or how it relates to real life. or have them write a story using the words in correct context.

Pick a silly subject and just have fun with it.  "What would a cloud say on a rainy day?"  "Do trees dream?"  "Does a donut hole have meaning?"  "Why is green happier than pink?"  \n\nHave fun with something totally off the wall and watch your creative juices flow!\n\nBest wishes!

what the hell are teachers doing these days?! making their science students write freakin acrostic poems!\n\nbut really its easy!\ntake a bunch of facts you know about cells, because in a poem for a class besides creative writing or maybe english, facts are most important. \nthen find a bunch of words that start with those letters in your lists. or just come up with words randomly and attach a fact to it. \n\nc, chloroplast, cellula, cork, convert\ne, every, enzymes\nl, likenesses, life, lipid\ns, structure, self-contained, self-maintaining\nblah blah blah

When warm weather settles in, take them on a nature hike.  Most teens will think this is cheesy, but the competition will soon settle in.\n\nPlay a seeking game.  Create a list of items, with points attached, of things that are around their school.  List the scientific name (ones studied in class and some hard one for bonus pts)...deducting points if they have to ask about their common name.\n\nItems can included leaves, feathers, rocks, etc.  Make it a week long project where kids can work in teams.\n\nMy 10th grade Bio teacher did this...and even though we moaned at first at how childish the game was...we all aced our test the following week, and had a good competition.\n\n(We got some sort of reward, but I forget what it was.)

Depending on your teacher and how much she/he rewards creativity you could do a really offbeat topic like:\n\n1) How to kill an entire weekend without accomplishing anything\n\n2) How to pick up the cutest girl in school i.e. me (DON'T do this one for a male teacher :)\n\n3) How to appear wide awake at school after staying up til 3AM answering strangers' questions\n\n4) How to answer the telephone (write it like you're talking to a really slow 4 year old - include a diagram of a phone with the main parts labeled - mouthpiece; earpiece; keyboard, etc.)\n\n5) How to get through life on looks alone\n\n6) How to tell stories so people will listen to the end (you could do it on jokes instead of stories)\n\n7) How to write a paper at the last minute without anyone knowing (only if you're brave and you can write this one really, really well)\n\n\nI know you think I'm kidding, but the truth is teachers get the same papers over and over again and if it's well written an offbeat topic can amuse them but make sure you know you're audience.

Hope this helps - I've dozens more, if you need. \n(I am an elementary teacher and have taught third grade.)\n\nGiving Thanks:  A Native American Good Morning Message by Chief Jake Swamp\nIt's a beautiful story with cool illustrations written by a Mohawk Chief - good for Thanksgiving, Earth Day, or environmental units\nhttp://www.leeandlow.com/teachers/guide12.html\n\n\nMy Teacher for President by Kay Winters\nfun, short, and good for a quick read or discussion about the president or America themes\nhttp://www.kaywinters.com/my_teacher.htm\n\nOfficer Buckle and Gloria by Peggy Rathman\nadorable story on safety and working as a team\nhttp://www.peggyrathmann.com/officerbuckle.html\n\n\nSorry to say, many of the other suggestions seem a little juvenile for third grade.

I get my students to write songs.  History songs - not entertaining, but putting some of the stuff to music helps them remember.\n\nI used to use index cards - write a topic on each one and three essential points about each.
