There are three developmental levels of counting.  The first level and most basic is repeating the rote sequence of numbers.  The second or middle level is developing one-to-one correspondence.  The third or highest level is knowing the cardinality of numbers.  This game will help students to develop these 3 levels in a fun and engaging environment. 

To actively engage students in recognizing common errors in writing such as capitalization, punctuation, sentence structure, and spelling.

This video is part of the Learn and Grow with WHRO TV series. Watch Shantel Davis teach about creating pictographs.

This video is part of the Learn and Grow with WHRO TV series. Watch Xenia Clare teach about interpreting and analyzing data on a bar graph and pictograph.

Students will organize various stem items, make observations regarding those items such as their color, size, etc and then graph their observations.

This lesson integrates computer science through discovering graphing on a coordinate plane for 6th graders all the way to a review for 8th graders with extensions that include slope.

1. Have the students bring a Math graphing problem that they have been working on in class.  **This will take some coordination with their homeroom teacher in order to work! or present a simple graphing problem for them to solve.  It needs to have 3-4 variables. This is so that they can use 3-4 coordinating colors of yarn for their design.In this lesson, we will translate the bar graph chart into a horizontal graph design.  Use the numbers to represent rows of weaving. For example, if a 5 is represented in the information then color in a section of rows on the graph paper to represent 5 rows that will be woven in that color. Tell the students to use the same colors that they have on their math bar graph, when creating their graph for weaving so that there is less confusion. 

Students will learn about NASA's Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP), Earth's van Allen Radiation Belts, and space weather through reading a NASA press release and viewing a NASA eClips video segment. Then students will use simple linear functions to examine the scale of the radiation belts and the strength of Earth's magnetic field. This activity is part of the Space Math multimedia modules that integrate NASA press releases, NASA archival video, and mathematics problems targeted at specific math standards commonly encountered in middle school textbooks. The modules cover specific math topics at multiple levels of difficulty with real-world data and use the 5E instructional sequence.

The 7 Cups and VBCPS Growth PathsPersonalized Growth Paths contain activities made for those dealing with a certain situation. It helps a person understand what they are dealing with and self-heal with activities that are expertly compiled.There is also a “gamified” element to the Paths. Students complete “Steps” to fill their cups and move ahead on their chosen path.You can find text, slides, and videos  here or the Gratitue Growth Path on 7 Cups as well with a free membership.

The student will apply social science skills to understand how the nation grew and changed from the end of Reconstruction through the early twentieth century by e) evaluating and explaining the social and cultural impact of industrialization, including rapid urbanization; Great Migration.

 Learn about the greater impact of wildlife patients at the Wildlife Center of Virginia. Every patient is offered state-of-the-art veterinary medical care; some are treated and released, while others may be too seriously injured to recover. Every single animal has a story to share, a story that illustrates the wider problems wildlife face—litter, pesticides, free-roaming domestic animals, habitat loss, and diseases. Even patients that don’t make it live on by helping us shape our conservation education and research as we challenge people of all ages to take action to protect wildlife. More About This Resource  For more information and classroom activities, please visit The Wildlife Center of Virginia and VPM UNTAMED  websites.

Using the Green Screen app, students will create short theatrical scenes to experience how Green Screens can be used to enhance a theatrical budget.

Students will practice writing out code in a step-by-step manner and get familiar with debugging.

To help students identify and understand their roles as ethical creators and consumers online.
To introduce students to the basic rights and limitations of copyright.

To help students identify and understand how to get media online in legal and ethical ways.
To help students identify and understand ethical strategies for sharing online content with others.

To help students understand ethical and responsible ways for creating new media using other creators’ work.

Learn about habitat islands and wildlife corridors. Habitat islands are areas of various sizes that should contain all the necessities for a certain species or multiple species of wildlife to survive and thrive. But, too often these islands are not large enough to provide long-term support for the animals who live within. Surrounding these islands exist areas not hospitable to wildlife, and wildlife that naturally ventures beyond the confines of their habitats are often at risk of conflict with humans and/or human development. The concept of wildlife corridors has become a way to direct animal movement away from, or safely through, dangers caused by humans. As human beings continue to dominate the landscape, habitat islands and wildlife corridors will become increasingly necessary for the survival of our many wild species.

This activity encourages students to collect data to answer questions, explore the roles of individual macroinvertebrates in aquatic ecosystems, and think about the health of aquatic ecosystems relative to the macroinvertebrates found.
