Ryan Dixon of Virginia Beach created a presentation about using the Assessment tools in Schoology. You can download this presentation and make your own version for your division!

Ryan Dixon of Virginia Beach developed this presentation for students and parents on the basics of using Schoology for virtual learning.

In the final lesson of the SDO curriculum, student teams collaborate to design and present their three Solar Module activities as part of their 3-D Solar Exhibit summative assessment.

The Verb "SER"How to use this activity:It is a video lesson you can show some or all.  You can add to a NEARPOD lesson or Canvas Studio and add questions or just use it as reinforcement to your lesson. It is 5 minute long and includes personal pronouns. See other “SER” activities by same author for additional activities.

The students will watch the story.Students will then tell the teacher other words that begin with SH while also tapping out the words.The Shark That Was Afraid of Everything 

This is a lesson plan that correlates with the Computer Science SOL 2.4 where students make their own online storyboard in order to demonstrate how to put a story in a logical sequence and then discuss how that stories are similar to computer programs. 

This lesson was designed by CPS Art teachers for Elementart and Middle School Art teachers. We made sure to have space for art and cross-curricular objectives, vocabulary, modifications, as well as extensions. 

Before goods are shipped in trucks or containers, they are usually placed in protective packaging and arranged on pallets for efficient transport. Stacking goods on a pallet is a repetitive job that can cause injury to workers. Because of this, many factories that require a high volume of palletization have turned to using robots to perform palletizing tasks. In this lesson plan, students learn how to program a robot to be efficient and effective at this real-world task.

As we prepare students to be innovators in the world, they will need to know how to communicate design ideas effectively. Even in the age of digital design, 2D drawings are still useful in communicating design ideas and details. Knowing how to create a 3D object from a 2D drawing (3D visualization) is a critical skill. Most individuals recognize its usefulness when following illustrated assembly instructions for furniture and other structures. Engineers, architects, tradesmen, and others use 2D technical drawings to communicate how different parts of an object look and how they go together.  Doctors use flat x-ray images to determine the severity and direction of bone breaks. Clothing designers, landscapers, and even game developers use 2D drawings when communicating designs in their work environments.In this lesson, students will explore technical drawing terminology and build 3D structures by interpreting 2D diagrams.

Sensors are part of most modern day technologies. They are integrated into our vehicles, appliances, buildings, and phones. Touch sensors trigger doors to open, motion sensors detect moving vehicles or pedestrians, and heat sensors supply an extra level of safety to our stoves. Sensors are integral to how we interact with technology and are becoming more common in the systems around us.In this lesson, students will explore some of the sensors used in transportation. They will make their own touch sensor and program a sign to display a message or warning when their sensor is triggered.

What is the Essential Understanding(s)/Big Ideas that are applicable to this lesson and refer to VA SOL and Framework if applicable?ES.2 The student will demonstrate an understanding of the nature of science and scientific reasoning and logic. Key concepts include b) evidence is required to evaluate hypotheses and explanations; c) observation and logic are essential for reaching a conclusion;What is the essential objective in this lesson?To help these students better understand/identify necessary information that they may need while doing research projects or for this course their final project.

Students will learn about how pixels make up images on a computer.  They will complete an unplugged activity to create a pixelated image using binary digits.  They will then create a pixelated image using more digits on an excel spreadsheet. 

Students will be introduced to computer science words in conjunction with similar standards already taught in English SOLs.  They will see how actions in a plot are similar to events in a code and how cause and effect is similar to events that trigger actions.  Prewriting will take place as they create a plan and codes for an Ozobot maze.

This is a set of three, one-page problems about the scale of objects in images returned by spacecraft. Learners will measure scaled drawings using high-resolution images of the lunar and martian surfaces. Options are presented so that students may learn about the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission through a NASA press release or by viewing a NASA eClips video [4 min.]. This activity is part of the Space Math multi-media modules that integrate NASA press releases, NASA archival video, and mathematics problems targeted at specific math standards commonly encountered in middle school.

Learn about cooking and baking. They are really all about science. Using her kitchen as her laboratory, Camille Schrier, Miss America 2020, explores the power of food and the science of cooking. She dissects what happens when she's in the kitchen preparing two of her favorite foods- eggs and cookies. Join Miss America as she explores the biological building blocks of food and the molecular changes that happen when we cook. Developed for students in grades 6-10.

This lesson introduces students to the nature of science and how to evaluate evidence to determine whether they are engaging in science or pseudoscience.

Students will first follow a set of instructions in a buddy-programming setting, then create a game in which sprites move to specific coordinates to capture food items. Then, pairs will use pair-share-think to offer feedback on other games and compare/contrast programming blocks. 

In this lesson students will be able to identify that computers, like the solar system, complete predictable actions based on a set of variables. Students will learn about the solar system via Scratch.  They will explore block coding and computational thinking practices as they utilize Scratch as a tool for creativity, expression and learning about the Solar System. 

Students will create a Scratch project for a Native American tribe or tribes and include shelter, environment, transportation, and food.
