Created for a 90-minute lessonn plan (could extend into the next lesson block). Students will learn about different abolitionist groups and individuals advocating for abolition prior to the Civil War, as well as analyze four differet abolitionist speeches. After, student will use what they have learned to create their own abolitionist speech. Includes lesson plan, slides, Student Speech Analysis Handout, student instructions, and sample abolition speech.

Applying computer science principals, students will explore inventions & innovations from the Age of Information, then through pattern recognition, compare and contrast the Age of Information with the Age of Industrialization. Students will present their research to peers. 

Students will learn about agricultural business operation and management. Topics will include accounting, finance, economics, business organization, marketing, and sales.

First of two lessons on agriculatural tends in America. This one looks at the number of farms, average farm size, and amount of land in farms from 1850 through 2012.

Second of two lessons on agriculatural tends in America. This one uses ArcGIS online that follows simple step-by-step directions to create a web map. Students will learn how farm size, average farm output, and type of farming vary across the U.S.

The Agriscience/Intro to Agriculture course helps students acquire a broad understanding of a variety of agricultural areas, develop an awareness of the many career opportunities in agriculture, participate in occupationally relevant experiences, and work cooperatively with a group to develop and expand leadership abilities. Students study California agriculture, agricultural business, agricultural technologies, natural resources, and animal, plant, and soil sciences.

This source aims to help students place Naomi Shihab Nye's poetry in conversation with other poems and reading materials, and in doing so, the goal is to help students work on synthesizing sources. The paired passage assignments are designed to offer students and teachers flexibility in accomplishing these tasks. The source is a remix.

This activity helps students to understand both alcoholic fermentation and the engineering design process. In the first two parts of this activity, students learn about alcoholic fermentation and test for alcoholic fermentation by assessing CO2 production by live yeast cells in sugar water vs. two controls. The third part of this activity presents the bioengineering design challenge where students work to find the optimum sucrose concentration and temperature to maximize rapid CO2 production. Structured questions guide the students through the basic engineering steps. This activity helps students meet the Next Generation Science Standards.

The goal of this activity is to build critical thinking skills and excitement for Computer Science / Computational Thinking, while laying a foundation of fundamental programming concepts. By scaffolding basic concepts like sequencing and algorithms in an unplugged activity, students who are intimidated by computers can still build a foundation of understanding. In this lesson, students will learn how to develop an algorithm and encode it into a program.By "programming" one another to draw pictures, students experience some of the core concepts of programming in a fun and accessible way. The class will start by having students view a video of a simple program demonstrating how to develop instructions for building a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Students will start with simple shapes, and progress to the coding of a specific drawing that other students will then try to replicate (“running the program”). If there is a desire to have a more of a Math slant on the lesson, the drawing could take place on graph paper. Students would then use the coordinates to complete the drawing. 

The lawmaking process, as described in the US Constitution, is essentially an alogorithm that allows an idea to become a law. In this lesson, students will analyze and evaluate the process for creating laws at the Federal level and create a flow chart that shows the lawmaking process in an alogoritmic sequence. 

This lesson plan uses the Hello Ruby book, Adventures in Coding, by Linda Liukas, to teach students about algorithms and conditional loops. It contains an activity featured from the book as well as other resources that can be used in conjunction with the book. The lesson teaches 2nd grade students what an algorithm is and how they use them in everyday life. 

Science Instructional Plans (SIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Science Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the content and the scientific and engineering practices found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

Compare Histograms to stem-and-leaf, line plots and circle graphs.Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

Students will observe dance movements depicted in a drawing and a painting. Partners will use simple lines to draw their partner's movements and paint dance costumes on the figures using various brushstrokes. Students will write a persuasive speech to the school superintendent explaining why they believe dance should be a regular part of the curriculum. They will then model dance movements for classmates in teams of four and recite their persuasive speech to the class.

The student will be introduced to the parts of a computer using a YouTube video. The students will then label the parts of a computer on a slide deck with the beginning sound.
