Students will use a Children's Dictionary to answer questions and search for meanings of unfamiliar words.
The Did You Feel It (DYFI) Annual Summary Webage and Viewer are resources that are ideal for Earth Science and Geography laboratiory activitiy.
Students may connect to a database of factual information collected by the USGS on Earthquakes and other seismic disturbances.
The data graphically shows the highest intensity felt at each location searched. The data is grouped into 10 km blocks, and the color of each block corresponds to the highest intensity calculated for that block (regardless of which event).
The best of the worst,and the most common misconceptions/mistakes the teacher has seen in her students classwork are used as a means of getting the students to de-bug and find where the solution went off track. Meaningful discussions occur and can be really insightful for teacher if no one can spot the issues! This is adaptable to whatever type of computational problems the teacher is teaching at the time
This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet simulates the experiment of rolling a die and then tossing a coin the number of times shown on the die. The die distribution and the probability of heads can be specified. The applet illustrates a two-stage experiment.
This video is part of the Continue to Know with WHRO TV series. Watch Beth Eanes teach about four different organizational patterns in text structures.
English Instructional Plan-Differentiate Between Formal and Informal Language
Students will discriminate pictures from writing.
This activity introduces the role of diffusion in supplying cells with nutrients and removing wastes.
Explore how molecules can cross a cell membrane and learn about the nature of their movement. Set up the model with high oxygen and low carbon dioxide outside the cell and low oxygen and high carbon dioxide inside the cell. In which direction do the oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules move?
Explore the role of pore size in the diffusion of a substance across a membrane. Diffusion is the process of a substance spreading out from its origin. Molecules diffuse through random molecular motion. Diffusion is always happening, even when a system appears to have reached equilibrium, because molecules are always moving. Cells are selectively permeable, meaning that their membranes allow some substances to cross easily while others are unable to cross without assistance. Cell membranes are selectively permeable, in part because its pores are small, allowing the cell to prevent larger molecules from moving across the membrane.
Movement of ions in and out of cells is crucial to maintaining homeostasis within the body and ensuring that biological functions run properly. The natural movement of molecules due to collisions is called diffusion. Several factors affect diffusion rate: concentration, surface area, and molecular pumps. This activity demonstrates diffusion, osmosis, and active transport through 12 interactive models.
This minds-on analysis and discussion activity helps students understand that cell size is limited by the very slow rate of diffusion over any substantial distance and the insufficient surface-area-to-volume ratio for larger cells. In addition, students calculate why these problems do not apply to long slender cells or parts of cells (e.g. the axons of neurons that extend from your spinal cord to your foot). To maximize student participation and learning, I recommend that you have your students complete the questions individually or in pairs and then have a whole class discussion.
Explore the role of a molecule's mass with respect to its diffusion rate. Diffusion is the process of a substance spreading out from its origin. Molecules diffuse through random molecular motion. Diffusion is always happening, even when a system appears to have reached equilibrium, because molecules are always moving. Massive molecules have more kinetic energy than less massive molecules at the same temperature.
Explore the role of temperature in the rate of diffusion of a substance. Diffusion is the process of a substance spreading out from its origin. Molecules diffuse through random molecular motion. Diffusion is always happening, even when a system appears to have reached equilibrium, because molecules are always moving. When molecules are heated, they move faster.

The learner will begin a timeline of famous Virginians which will be ongoing using paintings from the Virginia Museum of History and Culture. Students will learn to cite digital images correctly.
Students will use an article from Education World to determine appropriate and inappropriate uses of technology in school.
The student will use the present mode in slides to play a game about digital citizenship and good social media choices individually or in small groups (or with partners).
Digital Citizenship Resource Table
This lesson allows students to create a slideshow presentation about digital citizenship. The slideshow will focus on interacting with others online.This lesson involves the design process witht the creation of a slideshow. Students will choose from a list of Digital Citizen rules to focus on in their slideshow.Focus on concepts such as :Being Polite, Following Website Rules, Staying Positive, Being Respectful are to be included in the slideshow.Each slideshow should include a title slde and at least 4 additional slides.
