A guide to locating public domain and creative commons resources, mostly focusing on images
This activity is a lab where the students try to make a lightbulb light up using two wires, a battery and a lightbulb.
Attached is the instructor powerpoint and guide. The idea is that the individual training teachers can pick these resources up and begin training. Much of what you will find are Norfolk Public Schools related, but resources can be revised to reflect your district.

This guide was created for a district trainer to pick up and provide training on basic Zoom functions. This guide has experienced multiple iterations and will continue to do so as trainers continue providing feedback. The guide is specifically for Norfolk Public Schools but can be revised to represent your district.

Students will play an interactive game while learning how to be internet smart. Students will learn the fundamentals of digital literacy: sharing, kindness, security, determining what's real and what's fake, and reporting. This game comes with a full curriculum guide: https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-interland.appspot.com/en-us/hub/pdfs/Google_BeInternetAwesome_DigitalCitizenshipSafety_2019Curriculum.pdf
Students will act out open and closed circuits and is followed by individual journal writing and a class discussion.
Introduction to Storyboards from CS First
Step by step video tutorial for creating storyboards in Scratch. Includes a starter project in Scratch
This activity is a guided inquiry of electrical circuits.
In this lab, the students will test a variety of materials to discover which items are conductors and which items are insulators. They will discuss, classify, record data, and develop new questions relating to electricity.
This is an activity that demonstrates how batteries work using simple household materials. Learners use a pickle, aluminum foil and a pencil to create an electrical circuit that powers a buzzer. Most common batteries--such as car batteries and the batteries inside a flashlight--work on the same principle that the pickle battery works on: two metals suspended in an ion-rich liquid or paste separate an electric charge, creating an electrical current around a circuit. In this activity, the pickle provides the ion-rich liquid - pickles contain salt water, which is rich in ions.
This self-paced unit for students in grades 6-9 provides an opportunity to explore basic electrical circuits and demonstrate the new knowledge by wiring a lamp, explaining the components of the lamp that are important for the flow of electricity, and completing a schematic of the lamp circuitry.
These exercises target student misconceptions about how to properly measure voltage and current in simple DC circuits by letting them investigate different meter arrangements without fear of damaging equipment. These activities also are designed to lead to other investigations about simple DC circuits.
Video Description: In this close-up video, Begona Vila, Instrument Systems Engineer for the James Webb Space Telescope at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, describes her role in supporting the operations of the Webb telescope. The Webb telescope is currently the largest and most complex space telescope, set to look back in time and take pictures of the first galaxies and stars in the universe. In addition to her work on this historic project, Begona shares her love for reading, yoga, and exploring the outdoors. She highlights her interest in both science and art and her belief that humans share the need to explore and continuously learn. Video length: 2:34.NASA eClips Ask SME: Close-up with a NASA Subject Matter Expert videos are professionally developed to capture a glimpse of NASA SME's personal interests and career journeys. Each can be used to spark student interest and broaden their ideas of the STEM workforce. Additional videos in this series can be found by searching GoOpenVA using "NASA eClips Ask SME".
Video Description: Simple machines are all around us and help make our work easier. When simple machines are combined, a compound machine is created. Learn about NASA's compound machine, the lunar crane, and the simple machines it contains to make work easier in Our World. Video length: 4:17.NASA eClipsTM is a suite of online student-centered, standards-based resources that support instruction by increasing STEM literacy in formal and nonformal settings. These free digital and downloadable resources inform and engage students through NASA-inspired, real-world connections.NASA eClips Our World videos (grades 3-5) help students understand the differences between science (the natural world) and engineering (the designed world). These video segments supplement elementary learning objectives not only in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, but also in reading, writing, visual and performing arts.
This guide was created for a district trainer to pick up and provide training on integrating Zoom functions into a synchronous lesson. This guide has experienced multiple iterations and will continue to do so as trainers continue providing feedback. The guide is specifically for Norfolk Public Schools but can be revised to represent your district. This guide walks the trainer through the process of applying skills learned in Zoom Level One and Two. The trainer also introduces Moore's Framework for online engagement and applies this theoretical approach the training.
High School students are online all the time developing appropriate and inappropriate relationships. Because of their online experiences, they may feel well-equipped to recognize a bad situation and know how to get out of it. However, many times teenagers are drawn into a seemingly harmless conversation that will lead them to a dangerous offline encounter that they cannot escape.This lesson will provide strategies to teens to help them identify relationships that are inappropriate, how to avoid them, and how to get out of those relationships as soon as possible.
Photography Scavenger Hunt
In this activity, learners construct a device out of a piezoelectric igniter, like those used as barbecue lighters. Learners use the device to remotely start current flowing in a simple series circuit containing a small electric fan.
