Students write a multi-paragraph persuasive piece by developing their opinion on an issue and providing reasons/evidence that support their topic.

In this group (optional) inquiry lab, students explore the effects of runoff pollution on plants. Part 1 - Observations, Inferences, and Questions*Recommended that the teacher projects the images or prints them in color (if laminated, they can be preserved for future years). In addition, have students work individually first without sharing ideas, then have them share after each section with their group.

In this group (optional) inquiry lab, students explore the effects of runoff pollution on plants. Part 2 - Research*Guiding Questions and Key Provided

In this group (optional) inquiry lab, students explore the effects of runoff pollution on plants. Part 3 - Experimental Design*Sample Provided *Recommended that the students brainstorm types of runoff after their research and each group choose one that is feasible for the classroom environment. 

In this group (optional) inquiry lab, students explore the effects of runoff pollution on plants. Part 4 - Write-up*Students use their previous work and data to complete each section of the write-up. They use the guiding documents to construct each part and then can copy them into a single document (provided) or an online journal.

In this group (optional) inquiry lab, students explore the effects of runoff pollution on plants. Rubrics*One rubric can be used for the initial work for the lab, while the other is for the final product (includes self-check before the teacher grades it).

This activity is intended as practice for students learning about primary and secondary sources. Students should receive instruction on the differences between primary sources and secondary sources prior to completing this activity. Students will be given a random selection of artifacts. They will be asked to go through the primary source analysis process (adapted from the National Archives) to analyze and make sense of the artifacts. They will create a secondary source about the person represented by the artifacts. 

Practice for level 1 students with the alphabet in French. Students will watch a video and complete activities working with cognates. 

Students are facing overwhelming challenges this past year with the Covid pandemic.  Learn how others have used focus and determination to meet these challenges head on.  Samanth Peszeck an Olympic gymnast shares her story of adversity and overcoming her struggles.  Pre and Post assessments help students find their way in this challenging time. 

Students can use this template to design their experiment. A parent approval section provided at the bottom of the document. 

These documents provide directions and a template for writing a scientific paper to share students' results.

Students can use the attached list (modify if needed) to select an approved science experiment, then conduct research with the form provided.

This lesson includes two versions: 1. Blended Learning in person instruction and 2. remote learning for virtual teaching.The lesson focuses on solving equations that require simplifying each side by combining like terms. In the lesson the students will do a review activity of simplifying expressions by combining like terms then are posed with a problem of the day that requires that skill to solve a multi-step equation. The lesson provides questions to lead discussion and how to help guide students during their learning process. There is a blend of individual practice and partner work for collaboration. In the remote setting, the collaboration piece is a self checking activity of them practicing the new skill. It allows an opportunity for students to share their thought processes and reflection.It would be a great lesson after two step equations have been taught and starting multi-step equations involving combining like terms. Activities: 1. Review of combining like terms online practice and video 2. problem of the day 3. video lesson on new topic 4. around the room collaboration/virtual self checking around the room. 5. Reflection/Summary students summarize their understanding using vocaroo 6. apply new skill to solve problem of the day 7. Challenge question apply new skill to an application problem.
