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. 

This video is part of the Learn and Grow with WHRO TV series. Watch Brandon Thompson teach about repeating patterns.

In this lesson, students create a compass and apply their reasoning about magnetism to how compasses work to help us navigate around the globe while utilizing the Earth���s magnetic field.

The purpose of this lesson is to help students understand the various religions of the ancient river valley civilizations.  Students will read and relate creation narratives or myths to the class, and for a personal experience with history, the students will write a creation myth of their own and share it orally with the class. **Be sure to preview creation myths to ensure the stories are appropriate for your class.

Learn the basics of designing your own creativity-boosting challenge for learners of all types. Noah Scalin explains why Creativity as a Practice and how this mindset shift has transformed how he works. He introduces Creative Sprint, a tool designed to help anyone develop a creative practice. Then, he demonstrates a simple activity you can do right away that requires no special materials and only a few minutes of time. 

This video is part of the Continue to Know with WHRO TV series. Watch Tiffany Hale teach about credible resources and effective research.

The goal of this exercise is to explore crime victimization in the US. Frequencies, crosstabulations and comparisons of means will be used. 

 Students describe the dynamics of online cruelty and how it affects all the people involved.  Students explain the difference between being a passive bystander versus a brave upstander in cyberbullying situations.      

This website serves as a clearinghouse of information concerning the ways adolescents use and misuse technology. It is intended to be a resource for parents, educators, mental health professionals, law enforcement officers, counselors, and others who work with youth (as well as for youth themselves!). Here you will find facts, figures, and detailed stories from those who have been directly impacted by online aggression. In addition, the site includes numerous resources to help you prevent and respond to cyberbullying incidents. All of the information on this site is informed by over fifteen years of research.

In this lesson, students will learn about why their personal information is important and how they can keep it safe. They will also learn to pull out other people’s personal information and how that character/person can keep it safe. 

In this lesson, students will review the development of the Constitution.  To experience what this might be like,  students will work together to create a set of rules, procedures, rights, and responsibilities needed to safely use computing devices and networks in our school. When they have finished they will compare their list to the school’s Acceptable Use Policy.

El módulo de Clima de High-Adventure Science tiene cinco actividades. El módulo explora la pregunta, "¿Cómo será el clima de la Tierra en el futuro?" A través de una serie de preguntas guiadas, explorarás las interacciones entre los factores que afectan el clima de la Tierra. Explora los datos de temperatura de núcleos de hielo, sedimentos y satélites, y los datos de gases de efecto invernadero de las mediciones atmosféricas, realiza experimentos con modelos computacionales y escucha de un científico del clima que trabaja para responder la misma pregunta. No podrás contestar la pregunta al final del módulo, pero podrás explicar cómo los científicos están seguros de que la Tierra se está calentando sin tener la certeza absoluta de cuánto se calentará.

Learn about DNA. Deoxyribonucleic acid is the blueprint for all living things, but it is so small we can’t usually see it. The role of DNA is to provide our cells information on building proteins; these proteins lead to our individual traits such as eye color, height, dimples, and so much more. The structure of DNA is a double helix and we can model this structure at home. This model is based on the work of Rosalind Franklin, a British Chemist who created an X-ray photograph that provided evidence of the double-helix structure of DNA molecules. We can also extract DNA from a living thing, such as a strawberry, at home. The components of this DNA are so small that it does not look like our model; however, with technology scientists can both see the structure and manipulate the structure to change proteins in organisms. The key concepts and terms explored in this episode include DNA, nucleotides, genes, and genetically modified organisms (GMO's).

Science Instructional Plans (SIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Science Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the content and the scientific and engineering practices found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

In this lesson, students measure and compare the rate of a falling object (a penny) at different heights to learn about statistical error.

During the last sunspot cycle between 1996-2008, over 21,000 flares and 13,000 clouds of plasma exploded from the Sun's magnetically active surface. These events create space weather. Students will learn more about space weather and how it affects Earth through reading a NASA press release and viewing a NASA eClips video segment. Then students will explore the statistics of various types of space weather storms by determining the mean, median and mode of a sample of storm events. This activity is part of the Space Math multimedia modules that integrate NASA press releases, NASA archival video, and mathematics problems targeted at specific math standards commonly encountered in middle school textbooks. The modules cover specific math topics at multiple levels of difficulty with real-world data and use the 5E instructional sequence.

The mission of the Data Resource Center for Child and Adolescent Health (DRC) is to advance the effective use of public data on the status of children’s health and health-related services for children, youth and families in the United States. The DRC does this by providing hands-on access to national, state, and regional data findings from large population-based surveys. Data are collected from parents and thus contribute a much needed voice in the drive to improve the quality of health care for children and youth.
