In this Desmos activity, students will practice multiplying polynomials with Algebra Tiles. Students should have prior knowledge of the area model of multiplication before utilizing this resource.

This click and drag activity is a great practice for Algebra II students on multiplying and dividing radical expressions.

This resource provides a lesson of editable items on solving Multi-step inequalities, including with practical problems, which covers SOL 8/18. The resources can be used for a Math 8 course, an accelerated math course that incorporates Math 8 standards, or as review in preparation for higher-level content.

This activity is to be used after they have been taught native American resources. Students will need to fill in a Google Drawings chart for the Native American Resources by dragging each photo into the rectangle that it belongs to. When they are done, they will fill out the chart asking for them to justify their descions. They will need to describe what the photo is and why they put the photos in each rectangle. After they have explained, they will need to write the name of the tribe the resource belonged to (Inuit, Lakota, Iroquois, Pueblo, or Kwakiutl).

Natural disasters such as volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, and wildfires happen all over the world. Understanding how natural disasters happen and why helps children feel less anxious and more prepared. Therefore, this unit focuses on teaching students the science behind each natural disaster while also explaining what to do if they live in an area prone to a particular natural disaster. Over the course of the unit, students hear about many famous natural disasters, but the unit places more of an emphasis on how the disasters happen rather than exploring the devastation or destruction caused by previous natural disasters. The unit provides many opportunities for students to learn more about recent natural disasters, including a culminating research project.

The texts in this unit were chosen because of their wide variety of text features, content, and accessibility. Over the course of the unit, students will read texts that are very technical and rely heavily on text features, diagrams, and illustrations, as well as texts that are written as informational narratives. Students will be challenged to think about the structures the authors use to help the reader interact with and learn the content. Additionally, students will learn the importance of referring to specific details from the text and using those details to explain and teach back the newly learned material. This unit serves as the foundation for building strong reading habits and routines and setting high expectations for text consumption. Clear models should be included in the unit to help students build a deeper understanding of how to actively read and annotate informational texts for key ideas, text features, and vocabulary. This unit also serves as a launching point for strong discussions. Students will frequently be challenged to debate questions from the text; therefore, strong habits of discussion need to be introduced over the course of the unit.

Paul Andersen (of BozemanScience.com) explains how natural selection is a major mechanism in evolution. Also included in this resource are links to worksheets and a full transcript of the video.

Transcript added from YouTube subtitles. You can use this to write your own worksheet or quiz.

Students will take a nature walk and use their phone to document three different patterns on inheritance (Mendelian, Codominance, and Incomplete dominance). Students will then list all possible genotype combinations for the organisms they documented on their nature walk. Modification- students can use pictures from the internet if they cannot go outdoors. 

The attached activity is something I created when I first started teaching Economics and Personal Finance. It lets the students assess each situation and find out how much net pay each person will receive that pay period. There are four different scenarios and four different pay methods. It is geared towards Virginia but can be adjusted for other states. It is updated to 2019 calculations.

Students will learn all about computer networks from a given website by answering questions on the provided worksheet.

This is an unplugged version of how computer data packets travel through computer networks using rope, binder clips, envelopes and index cards.

This is a fun interactive that can be used to assess students on the “New Nation” unit OR to review the unit. 

The STEM team is working on narrowing down the overwhelming amount of free STEM resources and highlighting two offerings a day per week. Each week is archived as a tab so educators can revisit.

This is an introductory lesson to Science SOL 5.3 - The student will investigate and understand that there is a relationship between force and energy of moving objects.
While reading the book, students will stop at predetermined points and visualize what is happening in the book based on the author' words.

Students will read the excerpt from Olaudah Equiano's slave narrative and first analyze the primary source using the SOAPSTone method. Students will further analyze the source to identify the conditions of the Middle Passage from the point of view of an enslaved African. Students should pay particular attention to the purpose of the narrative and be able to identify the way in which Equiano attempts to convince the reader of the injustice of slavery.
