Students can rate the first 5 presidents by making a case as to whose accomplishments were most important to the development of the United States of America and stating a reason for their choice.
The teacher can allow students to debate as to which President is the most important.
This resource consists of a Java applet and Expository text. The applet simulates the probability plot that compares the empirical quantiles of a sample from a sampling distribution to the distribution quantiles of a test distribution. The sampling distribution, test distribution, and sample size can be specified.
This resource consists of a Java applet and descriptive text. The applet illustrates the problem of points: a coin is tossed until either n heads occurs or m tails occurs. The parameters n, m, and the probability of heads can be varied.
Students will use Scratch to design a program that will command a "sprite" to draw polygons. Math concepts include: polygons, attributes, angles, and vertices.Computer Science concepts include:algorithms, loops, conditional statements (if, then), and variablesAfter defining/reviewing polygons and their attributes, students will then use this information to create polygons by writing a program that will draw the polygons based on user input into the algorithms of the program. The programs should be developed in a block based language such as Scratch ( www.scratch.mit.edu) or a text based language like Python (www.python.org ). .
Students get a chance to review their proficiency with Punnett Squares through a "choose your own adventure" Google Slide challenge.
The use of Google Forms allows for content to be retaught, as well as allows students to go beyond the basic understanding of Punnett Squares.

Students will complete a variety of Pythagorean Theorem word problems:ones where they must find a legones where they must find a hypotenuseones where they must find a perimeterones where they must find 2 legs.The activity is created so that the graph animates their solution to help them determine whethere the distance they found was too short, too long, or just right.
Delve into a microscopic world working with models that show how electron waves can tunnel through certain types of barriers. Learn about the novel devices and apparatuses that have been invented using this concept. Discover how tunneling makes it possible for computers to run faster and for scientists to look more deeply into the microscopic world.
This resource consists of a Java applet and descriptive text. The applet illustrates a random walk on a discrete time interval from 0 to n. The time n and the probability of a step to the right can be varied. The random variables of interest are the final position, the maximum position, and the time of the last zero.
This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet simulates the red and black experiment in which a player bets on a sequence of Bernoulli trials until a target fortune is reached or the player is ruined. The initial fortune, target fortune, and trial win probability can be varied, and the user can select either of two basic strategies: timid play or bold play.

Parents and caregivers should set rules that reduce “screen time” by limiting the amount of time children spend on the computer, watching TV and playing video games. The time spent in front of the screen could be better spent being more physically active.
English Learners with different proficiency levels will be able to practice fruits and vegetables vocabulary (beginner ELs) or Virginia Studies in a fun and engaging way.
Beginners' French: Food and Drink
The students will learn how to talk about food in French. In particular, they will learn how to say what food they like and dislike using the verbs aimer (‘to like’), adorer (‘to love’), and préférer (‘to prefer’) and the negative structure ne … pas.

The Renaissance is known as a rebirth of culture that began on the Italian Peninsula. Many crusades had their points of departure from this region. The interaction with the Middle East resulted in increased trade and diffusion of ideas. Students identify the benefits of geographic location for the northern Italian city-states in terms of their local conditions (site) and the developing trade connections throughout Europe and the Middle East (situation). Key questions: How did land and sea routes connect people and places? How does location influence the ability to interact with the rest of the world?
For a quarter century, the federal government provided funding for cities large and small to raze "blighted" or "slum" neighborhoods. Though improved housing opportunities was the ostensible goal, over time, cities used federal funds to stimulate commercial and industrial redevelopment. Through these programs, cities displaced hundreds of thousands of families from their homes and neighborhoods. Renewing Inequality visualizes those displacements and urban renewal more generally.
Excel of resources for elementary exploration. Each resource is accompanied by a short descriptions and link.
Explore objects from Ancient Rome and discover how Romans portrayed themselves and wished to be remembered. This student-facing resource includes text, images, maps, as well as interactive exercises that call invite students to closely examine authentic objects from Ancient Rome.
The first three activities provide close-up views with guiding questions and background information. What will you learn about the connections between power, status, citizenship, and images in ancient Rome? How do these objects relate to identity and how people are portrayed or remembered? Who is represented and who is not?
The next three investigations offer pop-up hot spots on selected objects to reveal intriguing information about Roman culture, gods, goddesses, and mythology.
How do these objects relate to what the Romans thought was important?
This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet is a simulation of the standard casino roulette game. The random variables of interest are the winning under various bets.
