This is a visual that can open a class discussion on the various differnent professions in the internet technology field. This graphic can also be included as a poster in the classroom. 

Due to the rise in cybersecurity threats and the increasing volume of information and resources that are potentially vulnerable to these threats, careers in the field of cybersecurity have grown tremendously over the past decades. In this assignment, students will explore Science, Applied Science and Cybersecurity Careers through research. After researching the difference between science and applied careers, students will decide on 5 careers that interest them. Their list will contain one career in each science and applied science and 3 in cybersecurity. They will then research the education required to perform the job, salary, description and working conditions. A digital or paper poster will be created containing the title, description, education and salary. This assignment could be completed at the end of the year or as an enrichment activity.

This wordsearch activity can be used to help review potential careers in cybersecurity and serve as an introduction into the lesson.

Students will research careers that focus on data collection and analysis. The goal is to introduce students to high demand jobs in data science. They will explore work expectations, educational requirements, and pay rate. Teachers can ask students to work in groups and assign specific areas: data analyst, data scientist, data engineer, and data architect (to name a few). Information on these career bands is available HERE

This is a lesson that introduces kids to the concepts of slope and y-intercept as they relate to multiplicative and additive relationships.

In this activity, students will learn to identify the 7 continents by name and location through song activity blending active learning.  Students will learn facts pertaining to each continent and practice syllable breaking strategies. 

Learn the reasons why keeping cats—domestic pets—indoors is better for wildlife, the cats themselves, and human health. Outdoor cats cause significant problems for wildlife and the environment; these cats also have shorter lifespans and are subjected to many more dangers than their indoor counterparts. Join Center staff, health experts, and a cat behaviorist to learn how we can fix this human-caused issue and keep wildlife, cats, and the environment safer.

Students will investigate through primary and secondary sources the dynamics of the development of race relations in early colonial Virginia from court cases between 1640 to 1656. The story and cases of John Punch (1640), John Casor (1655), and Elizabeth Key Grinstead (1656) are known to be some of the first freedom suits in the Virginia colony.

Have students learn about the main characters in William Shakespeare's Hamlet. Let THEM become the casting director as they decide who is best fit to play the part!

There are two types of catalysis reactions: homogeneous and heterogeneous. In a homogeneous reaction, the catalyst is in the same phase as the reactants. In a heterogeneous reaction, the catalyst is in a different phase from the reactants. This activity addresses homogeneous catalysis.

Students will be able to use the graphic organizer to see the cause-effect relationships between multiple events in a text. 

I created this activity to use during the introduction of cause and effect for my fourth-grade class. I feel that beginning with pictures helps my students distinguish between why and what. This is an engaging way to allow students to practice with cause and effect. This is an engaging activity to practice SOL 4.5j.
