The Portuguese language lessons of ClicaBrasil highlight aspects of Brazilian culture. They are designed for intermediate to advanced students, but are accessible to everyone. Each lesson includes videos of Brazilians from all walks of life speaking naturally about their lives and their country. All lessons integrate reading, writing, listening and comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, oral communication and cultural activities with the videos. This is also available as a free PDF textbook and as print on demand.

In this lesson plan and video, students will explore various solutions by simulating different policies in a model and about how people have started to tackle climate change within their careers. 

This is a video introduction from National Geographic about weather and climate with a follow-up read and respond activity.

This lesson remixes an original lesson created by Govind Lingam entitled "Teach Design: Mood Board." In this movement-inclusive lesson, students will conduct an art-based anticipatory activity that introduces them to the close-reading process with a special emphasis on mood and imagery. They will then transition to a close-reading of a small passage from Jekyll & Hyde in order to demonstrate how our understanding of a passage changes with each new read as well as to gain a clearer understanding of how specific details function in a larger narrative.

This activity is intended as an introduction to close-reading using visual media. In this lesson, students will review and then closely "read" the painting, "The Kiss" by Gustav Klimt in order to understand the process of close-reading and its impact on our understanding of texts. Once students have learned how to conduct close-reading of a visual text, they reflect on how they might transfer this skill to the written word.
This activity also includes optional extension activities that incorporate poetry into the lesson.

Students participate in evaluating a description of a crime scene to prove innocence or guilt. 

In this CS First lesson, students will engage in hands-on coding activities to illustrate an energy transformation scenario of their choice, identifying and explaining at least four different types of energy involved in the process.

This lesson is designed to engage students in a meaningful and fun coding experience, while investigating sanitation practices, food, and kitchen safety. Students will create an animated story using block-based coding in Scratch. This overarching lesson idea (research – storyboard – code) can be applied to any subject.

Spice things up with students by programming BeeBot to go to specific numbers as a way to reinforce multiples and common factors.  Activity cards, a brief overview, and a student planning sheet are included. 

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 program a Bee-Bot (or similar robot) to locate fraction models. 

 Students will use unplugged and plugged coding to sequence steps in the VA Reader's Choice Award book, Almost Time.

Students will use Bee-bots to code the robots to a value matching their selected coin card. They’ll count the coins, create a code with arrow cards, and navigate the Bee-bot from the start box to the designated value. After reaching the target, they’ll explain their coding and counting choices. Then, they’ll return to start, allowing their partner to take a turn. This activity is also compatible with the Learning Resources Code and Go Mouse.

This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet is a simulation of the experiment that consists of tossing a coin and then rolling either a red die or a green die, depending on the outcome of the coin toss. The probability of heads and the distributions of the two dice can be specified. The applet illustrates a two-stage experiment.

This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet simulates coin tosses. The number of coins and the probability of heads can be varied.

Introducing Data collection and Analysis:
This activity include a data collection sheet and questions to analyze the data.
The activity can be done as a whole group, small group, or by individual students.
Estimated time from start to finish is 30-45 minutes based on prior knowledge.
