Learn about diurnal birds of prey -- a diverse group of birds across the globe which includes hawks, falcons, osprey, eagles, and kites. While these different families of birds have a variety of physical and behavioral traits, they are all specially adapted for daytime hunting. Today, most of these birds of prey are widely appreciated by the public, but they still face many dangers. Learn more about these amazing raptors and how to help.UNTAMED looks at the wild and often perilous world of wildlife, as seen through the eyes of the patients of the Wildlife Center of Virginia, a non-profit teaching and research hospital for native wildlife.
Provides students with information about digital citizenship, cyberbullying, and avoiding online risks so that they can safely socialize online.
The student will be able to count forward to 20 by memory.
This video is part of the Learn and Grow with WHRO TV series. Watch Amanda Knighton teach about brainstorming writing ideas.
Students will explore the "story" that can be interpreted from graphs. Graphical representations can be created by looking at videos of different situations on Desmos. After noticing that all types of linear slopes (zero, positive, and negative) can be included in a given situation, students create a graphical representation to show a change in heart rate overtime.
This flyer is a guide for parents of elementary students who are absent, offers tips on how to avoid absences, and gives talking points for parents to discuss the importance of attendance with students
PowerPoint used for the VSTE 2021 conference presentation on sharing and how educators can use #GoOpenVA to learn from each other, growing their skills.
How do you track a disease? How do you determine if a blood sample contains a virus or a bacteria that could make millions of people sick? What type of information would you need to know to stop a disease from spreading? If you are interested in these questions then being an “Illness investigator” or a Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS) might be the right career path for you.
Manufacturers today are rapidly innovating the way things are made, creating new manufacturing techniques and scrambling to make sure our workforce has the skills needed to fill the jobs. In Virginia there is a projected annual shortfall of 11,000 skilled technicians for career opportunities in modern manufacturing.
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.
Jobs in drug discovery and bioscience use math, biology and computer science to improve the lives of very sick people in a faster, safer way. If you do well in these subjects, this might be the field for you!
Cyber Security, the protection of our information via computers and the internet is one of the fastest growing industries in Virginia and around the world.
