This is a review and introduction to climate change using videos from National Geographic. It includes a follow up research activity on the impact of climate change on specific biomes around the globe.

This is a lesson for first grade to talk about how technology has changed our lives over the years. I have it related to the first settlers and the experience they may have had if they had today's technology.  We also will discuss the technology we use today in our rooms vs what used to be used and how our behavior online can affect us even when people can't see us. 

Students will examine the life of Phillis Wheatley. They will explore how as a woman, Phillis was able to fight for freedom during the American Revolution as enslaved, or formerly enslaved people. Students will analyze primary and secondary sources to learn more about the life and journey of Phillis, as well as her impact on historical events.

The student will identify computing technologies that have changed the world and express how those technologies influence, and are influenced by, cultural practices when communicating with others. The student will identify social and ethical issues that relate to computing devices and networks.

This lession will include information on proper diet and exercise. This will have information on the proper caloric intake we should include in our diets daily and how different foods can affect our weight. This will allow students to to select foods that they eat on any given day and to see the nutritional value of each food. This will allow students to see how much exercise is reqiured to use the caloires from many different foods. 

Build equivalent fractions with different denominators. Match shapes and numbers to earn stars in the game. Challenge yourself on any level you like. Try to collect lots of stars!

This activity will challenge students thinking about the nature of science and highlight the importance of both basic and applied scientific research.

There are 3 parts to this project:How group works togetherA Google SiteA skit This is how it will work:Each group picks the name of an infectious disease at random.Group will designate the following roles: a doctor, a nurse, a scribe, and a patient. If you have a 5th member they can be a specialist.

Students will pass information through simulated computing devices using the traditional primary school game “Telephone” and correct for errors in transmission.

Learn about semipermeable membranes. If you put eggs and sand through a colander, would they both fall through? Probably not. Only the sand would actually pass through the holes of the colander because the eggs are too large. The colander acts as a semipermeable membrane, allowing some materials through but not others. Let's explore some other semipermeable membranes -like what surrounds our cells to help keep our bodies working and healthy. And eggs are like giant cells. They are a perfect thing to use to explore the science of semipermeable membranes, osmosis, and diffusion. We'll even experience a cool chemical reaction when we place an egg in vinegar. What do you think will happen when this chemical reaction is complete? Developed for grades 6-8 and correlated with Virginia Standards of Learning.

This is a set of three, one-page problems about the size and area of solar panels used to generate power. Learners will will use integer arithmetic to tally the number of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon atoms in a molecule and determine the number of methane atoms that can result. Options are presented so that students may learn about how NASA is using signs of methane gas to search for life on other planets, such as Mars, through a NASA press release or about how astrobiologists who are looking for life beyond Earth are using spectroscopy to identify methane plumes on Mars by viewing a NASA eClips video [7 min.]. This activity is part of the Space Math multi-media modules that integrate NASA press releases, NASA archival video, and mathematics problems targeted at specific math standards commonly encountered in middle school.

"Interacting With America" is comprised of rich data on human development in the US that readers can explore through a clearly depicted, interactive map on health, wealth and education in the 50 states. Teachers and students alike can draw comparisons between states through the use of the intuitively constructed histograms which display the human development indexes measured for each state.

This learning tool was developed and designed to facilitate teacher/student and student/student discussion and recognition of significant events, holidays and celebrations within their lives, families and communities and those of their peers.

The goal of this exercise is to learn more about intergroup relationships and to explore the role intergroup friendships play in perceptions of out-group members. Crosstabulation will be used.
