In this learning experience, the students will analyze multiple primary source documents as well as secondary information sources to understand this watershed event in Virginia and US History. The three men who will be studied in this experience ran away from their slave-holding captors and made their way to Fort Monroe. Upon arrival, military leadership at the fort claimed that the run-aways were enemy contraband and therefore could be confiscated by the Union forces. They were declared free through this war-time loophole and when the news spread, many other African Americans would soon start coming to Fort Monroe to claim their freedom as well. Students begin by examining the records of enslaved people who ran away “to the enemy” (Union forces). Finally, students will use a Cost/Benefit analysis chart to guide their analysis of secondary information sources and develop an understanding of the concepts of resistance and a working knowledge of the event of Mallory, Baker, and Townsend sparking one of the first blows to the system of slavery.

Deer mice live in many different habitats across North America. In each subpopulation, their fur coloring is a good match to their habitat. How did this come to be? Students run simulated experiments controlling habitat, predators, and displays of data. An optional datasheet can be used to structure quantitative work. The activity includes suggested questions for students to investigate, with particular attention to how the adaptation occurs solely at the population level, while natural selection operates on individuals.
The series of lessons allows students to review the concepts of mutations, …
The series of lessons allows students to review the concepts of mutations, adaptations and natural selection by studying a population of pocket mice through a video clip and then applying their knowledge through a simulation game.

In this lesson, the student will develop a simple addition algorithm using a flow chart. Students will then translate the flowchart into programming instructions that can be input into the Java language to complete their first addition Java program. Students will then expand on this program to include allowing the user to input the integers from the Java scanner.

My students need lots of practice to master addition with regrouping, so I created this fun game to help them practice. This activity supports sol 3.3b, create and solve single-step and multi-step practical problems involving sums or differences of two whole numbers, each 9,999 or less. The students make a big circle around the room and play a cakewalk style game. When the teacher stops the music, they sit in front of the closest card and add the two numbers. Students use their knowledge of place value and estimation to determine if their answer is reasonable. Movement activities are always a big hit in my classroom! This game is one of my students’ favorites!
