This interactive tools allows the user to learn which countries parallel the states, provinces or territories of the United States, China, India and Brazil and presents country equivalent data for both GDP and population.
This interactive tool allows the user to view global housing prices by country and time frame, and housing price index, the percentage of change over time, housing price in real terms, house prices compared to rents, or house price against average income.
This tool allows user to select a region to answer the question or view all responses worldwide.
Time to show what you know and apply your knowledge of living systems in this digital ecosystem project. Students will collaborate to research a specific ecosystem using their knowledge from the unit. Students will also create a digital model and representation of their researched North American ecosystem!
Students will create an informational poster, collage, slide show, cartoon, or video clip of a specific ecosystem in our watershed. Requirements are as follows:pick a specific tributary, estuary, or wetland. show at least 4 abiotic and 4 biotic factors plus the location that you choseinclude 4 or more pictures to help show the parts of the ecosystem. cite the sources with the website, title of the site, author, and publishing dateA rubric is included
Students will break down (decompose) an ecosystem into smaller parts to include community, populations and organisms and how they rEnglishte to each other. Students will understand that this process is known as decomposition in computer science which facilitates the design, implementation and review processes in developing a program.
A digital scrum board that you can use in any content area! This is a project management resource.
The scribble tool in Tinkercad is a quick and easy way to get youngers students (K-2) designing and creating objects for 3D printing. This video will help teachers and ITRTs get started using this resource with students!
This video will demonstrate the tools available on Classroom Screen that teachers can use to promote student engagement and focus in the classroom.
Overview: I created this lab activity to provide my students with a fun way to learn about the components of the plant and animal cell. Students will investigate and understand that all living things are composed of one or more cells that support life processes, as described by the cell theory. A key idea includes that the cell structure and organelles support life processes (SOL LS.2b).
This screencast demonstrates the process for editing resources that you have started or even published on #GoOpenVA. The video is slightly less than 2 minutes.
Students will be using a rubric to assess grammar mechanics in a writing assignment.
Comprised of parents and professionals, the mission of Educate and Empower Kids (EEK) is to empower parents to create deep connection with their kids through media education, meaningful family communication, and intentional parenting. EEK works across the country to provide essential resources for parents, educators, and clinicians to teach children and teenagers how to become resilient and strong. We believe this must be done by teaching digital citizenship, media literacy, and healthy sexuality education—including education about the dangers of online pornography.
The goal of this module is to explore the relationship between demographic characteristics and educational attainment. Frequencies and comparison of means will be used.
Computer Science is the study of how we use computing devices. Over 70% of jobs in STEM are actually in computing, and the demand is growing. Virginia currently has over 30,000 unfilled jobs in computer science and this sector is growing at four times the national average. Nationally there are more than 500,000 open computing jobs.
In 2016, the Virginia legislature passed a law making Virginia the first state in the country to include computer science as a mandatory part of the curriculum in all public schools. CodeVA offers free professional learning for Virginia public school educators, education professionals, and school districts to implement the computer science SOLs. Although CodeVA cannot cover travel costs, all curricular materials are included for free.
We work with local school districts to provide professional development to public school teachers and to facilitate state licensing required to teach computer programming, but we don’t stop there. We also work with state education agencies and other outside partners to produce and disseminate computer science curricula and resources to support teachers once they have begun using computer science in their classrooms.

This lesson is part of the Virginia K-12 Computer Science Pipeline which is partly funded through a GO Virginia grant in partnership with Chesapeake Public Schools, Loudoun County Public Schools, and the Loudoun Education Foundation. During this lesson, students will investigate the effect of water on surfaces as well as on a structural model they create.
Determining the effect on measures of center when a single value of a data set is added, removed, or changed Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.
This site provides more than 40 lesson ideas developed by teachers to help students learn about Eastern Woodland Native Americans who lived in the upper Mississippi River valley (southwestern Wisconsin and northeast Iowa) from about 500 BC to 1300 AD and who built effigies -- ceremonial burial mounds shaped to represent bears, eagles, falcons, bison, deer, turtles, lizards, and other creatures.
In this task, students decide which team wins the egg-launching contest by analyzing data from a table, graph and a verbal representation with a quadratic equation. In doing so, students analyze data, determine the equation of the curve of best fit in order to make predictions, and solve practical problems using models of quadratic functions.
Who were the ancient Egyptians? Explore objects from ancient Egypt to discover how the Egyptians lived and what they believed in this Interactive Exploration featuring works of art from the VMFA's collection.
This resource consists of background information on Egyptian geography and climate, Egyptian life and society, role of the pharaoh, the purposes of ancient art, the role of scribes, hieroglyphics, the afterlife and mummification, Nubia (Egypt's southern neighbor), comparisons/contrasts to art from other parts of Africa, and a discussion on the legacy of Egyptian art (Egyptomania).
Woven throughout the informational narrative are several different types of looking, thinking and learning activities, all of which call on students' observation and critical thinking skills as they closely examine selected art and artifacts. Reflection questions that encourage deep thinking are featured, along with clickable popups on images that further explain Egyptian art and society. Activities like "Look At This," "What's the Story," "Be the Scribe," will bring student engagement, reflection, and critical and creative thinking to any ancient Egypt lesson!
