Why is Engineering a Hot Job? Listen to 3 students from Virginia Commonwealth University's School of Engineering to find out. Learn why these three students went into Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering and Electrical Engineering. Presented by Science Matters
Biomechanical engineering is an interdisciplinary field of science that applies the rules and principles of mechanical engineering to biological systems. It combines elements of many disciplines, including biology, engineering, physics, chemistry, and mathematics to better understand how physical forces influence living organisms. A biomechanical engineer may find work in the medical, scientific, industrial or governmental sectors. It is also sometimes considered a subset of Mechanical Engineering or Biomedical Engineering.

Students will read excerpts from Erasmus and Machiavelli and summarize the message of each passage.
Students will read excerpts from Erasmus and Machiavelli then highlight three quotes from each passage that they feel summarizes the main ideas. Students will then choose one author's work make a "tweet" to show their understanding of the content.

This Renaissance Essentials Sheet provides a solid review for students of the main ideas of the Renaissance. Though it is designed for World History II, it can easily be adapted to be used in World History I.
Students will view a series of images and will match those images to reasons that the Renaissance began in Italy.
*Remixed to include reasons as a matching activity rather than having students come up with the reasons.

In this unit, students begin to explore the complexity of immigration and immigrant rights by reading the core text Return to Sender. Through the eyes of two children, Return to Sender highlights the challenges of life for Mexican laborers in Vermont and the way in which stereotypes about undocumented workers are formed. Through the eyes of Tyler, the farm owner's son, students witness the internal struggle surrounding what makes something right or wrong, particularly in regard to if the family should hire undocumented workers even though without them the beloved family farm would need to be sold. They also see how the stereotypes Tyler believes about Mexican workers are broken down through his relationships with the Cruz family. Through the eyes of Mari, the daughter of an undocumented worker, students witness the daily challenges and barriers undocumented workers face in the fight for a better life and future. As Tyler and Mari develop a friendship, readers are pushed to think critically about the arguments on both sides of the debate surrounding Mexican and other laborers in Vermont, and the way in which friendships across lines of diffference can help dismantle stereotypes.
It is important to note that the scope of this unit is intentionally narrow. Immigration, particularly undocumented immigration, is an incredibly complex issue. This unit serves as an entry point. It is our hope that this unit begins to humanize a controversial topic and inspires students to question things beyond their own world and fight for their own view of what is right. To build a deeper understanding of the nuances and history of migrant workers in the United States, we recommend that this unit is paired with the social studies unit on Cesar Chavez and the migrant workers' fight for justice and equity.
Students will understand how to revise and edit their paragraphs, essays, or research papers.

As 4th grade students have been learning about weather in science, this lesson integrates the content of weather phenomena (tornados) as well as the reading strategy of reading the author’s words and determining whether the information is directly stated (right there) or inferred based on clues from the author’s words.
In this third-grade literature course, students explore the concepts of courage and friendship, beginning in Unit 1 with an author study of Roald Dahl. Even though Roald Dahl is known for writing silly, exaggerated stories with highly engaging characters, his stories have important themes and messages embedded in them.
In addition to launching a year-long exploration of the themes of friendship and courage, these texts will also help establish a positive classroom culture as students analyze what it means to help others, be a good person, and show courage. We hope this unit, in connection with all of the units in our third-grade literature course, will help students develop a deep and nuanced understanding of both friendship and courage.
In reading and writing, this unit focuses on setting a strong foundation for text analysis. Students will dive deep into characters and study the ways in which authors develop characters. They will analyze author's word choice, both as a strategy for figuring out unknown words and as a way to improve their own narrative writing. Roald Dahl's fun and playful writing style also allows for an exploration of how reading with expression and fluency helps develop comprehension.
In this lesson, students will use Starburst candy to model the 3 different rock types. At the end of the lesson, students will identify rocks as sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous and be able to explain how each rock is formed.
