This resource provides a 5E style lesson (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate) over the rock cycle, including a single-period lab using crayons to model the cycle.  It’s often a difficult concept for students to imagine that over millions of years, one kind of rock will change into another kind of rock.  This lab allows students to see the changes taking place, and learn important qualities of each type of rock and how they are formed.Photo:  Rainbow of Crayon Shavings by Richie Girardin via Flickr

An integrated Mathematics and computer science lesson to rEnglishte multistep practical problem rEnglishtionships to algorithms & programming.

In this unplugged lesson, students will deepen their understanding of algorithms and the need for precise, sequenced instructions. They will create algorithms for drawing crazy characters. Then, they will test and refine these algorithms by challenging teammates to follow their instructions and compare. They will also use cause and effect in this lesson.

At the beginning of the lesson, students will have the opportunity for physical movement during the activator while reviewing the difference between the terms “past” and “present”. Students will engage in collaborative conversations at multiple times to explore the different ways people communicated in the past and how it has changed over time, while also learning from their peers during these conversations. Through these collaborative conversations, students will gain an understanding on how computer scientists communicate information in various ways. Students will explore a nonfiction text during a read aloud to gain a stronger understanding of communication in the past before they embark on an independent activity of drawing and labeling past and present communication tools.

Learn to create files and directories in a Linux command line terminal and read the contents of created files.

It is suggested that this activity be used once students have a deep understanding of parallel and perpendicular lines. Students will be given the equation of a line in various forms and based on that information, must drag points on a graph to create parallel and perpendicular lines. Initially students will not be shown the graph of the original line, but can obtain that hint if necessary. Once students submit their solutions on the graph, they can reveal the answer, but will no longer be able to adjust their work. This could be used as an assessment, especially during distance learning.

Students will investigate theoretical versus experimental probability by creating a model to simulate a system and then compare the outcomes.

Lesson Delivery: Students will collect weather data for a given city/town from a weather website to analyze and create a graph that displays the change in temperature over a time period (one or twq weeks). Useful Sites: Create a Graph: https://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/Default.aspx Weather Data: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/climate

Students will work in groups to plan the process they will use to first determine the perimeter and then the area of a rectangle. Students will write out a detailed step by step process that can be used in different situations.

This is a step-by-step lesson/slide presentation of how to create an eposter from scratch using Google Slides. It is useful not only for creating storyboards, presentations, etc.; I also used it to discuss plagiarism and open source materials. 

Students create a class alphabet book or "ABCDarium," a book that uses images of animals or objects to illustrate each letter of the alphabet. The book is in the style of a medieval illuminated manuscript and incorporates both art and writing. Students decorate large uppercase letters of the alphabet and draw an original picture to illustrate each letter.

Adam Seipel, with VaSCL (Virginia School Consortium for Learning), provides this recorded presentation and slide deck for creating a learning community with your students who are at home using Google Meet and Flipgrid.

In this Desmos activity, students will use their knowledge of parallelograms to correctly find the location of a 4th vertex.

This screencast covers your initial input of a resource into the Open Author online editor.  Parts II (https://goopenva.org/courseware/lesson/433) and III (https://goopenva.org/courseware/lesson/4207/overview )cover the process of publishing, including adding metadata.

This screencast goes over how to add metadata to your resource before you publish it on #GoOpenVA.  There are many choices you have to make and you may want to look over the choices ahead of time.  See the Metadata Planning Document: https://goopenva.org/courseware/lesson/413/overview This is Part II of 3 videos that help you learn how to use Open Author to add resources on #GoOpenVA.  Part I is here https://goopenva.org/courseware/lesson/431/overview and Part III is here https://goopenva.org/courseware/lesson/4207/overview
