This inquiry focuses on the uneven impacts of the New Deal policies with a focus on the experiences of everyday Americans living in the South. It is intended to expand students’ existing understanding of the New Deal by engaging in analysis around issues of equity and perspective. The questions, tasks, and sources in this inquiry asks students to consider the impact of three areas of federal policy during the New Deal (agricultural, employment benefits, and housing) and to consider how those policies may have been interpreted by Southerners at the time. 

Students will preform three mini-lab activities with no previous knowledge of Newton's laws of motion. Each lab activity demonstrates one of Newton's laws of motions. Students will write their observations from the three mini-labs and then use these observations later to connect which lab went with which law of motion, after the teacher formally introduces Newton's Laws of Motion.

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.

President John Adams sent this message nominating John Marshall to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Learn about wildlife rehabilitation. Its goal is to release healthy, recovered animals back to their natural habitats, as fully functioning wild animals. But what happens when animals can’t be released? Sometimes, they may be suitable for a new job: an education ambassador. This episode highlights the selection criteria and welfare considerations that are essential to determine if an animal is a good candidate as an animal ambassador. Wildlife ambassadors play a significant role in education, by connecting people to wildlife and conservation issues and inspiring thousands of people worldwide to take action to protect wildlife.

In this lesson, students learn about some of the early explorations of the Northwest Passage, and how the changing sea ice extent has prompted new explorations of this region to transport goods from one region of the Northern Hemisphere to another.

This video is part of the Learn and Grow with WHRO TV series. Watch Dr. Karen Drosinos teach about writing numbers to 10.

This video is part of the Learn and Grow with WHRO TV series. Watch Xenia Clare teach about ordering and comparing whole numbers.

This is a set of two, one-page problems about the sizes of moons in the solar system. Learners will use fractions to compare the sizes and distances of Jupiter's moons. Options are presented so that students may learn about the Juno mission through a NASA press release or by viewing a NASA eClips video [6 min.] about the creation of graphic of the 88 largest objects in our solar system. 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.

MA.K.1.1 The student will tell how many are in a given set of 20 or fewer concrete objects by counting orally.
MA.K.1.2 - The student will read, write and represent numbers 0 to 20.

This video is part of the Learn and Grow with WHRO TV series. Watch Xenia Clare teach about the concept of even and odd numbers.

This module teaches students about ozone���s role in the atmosphere and explores authentic data to compare and contrast conditions that affect ground-level ozone values.

 Learn the meaning of "One Health." One Health is a concept that connects the health of animals, people, and the environment. Each aspect is equal, important, and delicately intertwined. In this episode, Wildlife Center veterinary and rehabilitation staff, along with public health officials, explain One Health concepts and challenges and highlight how we can work together for the optimal health of all. 

Words matter, and the words we say to ourselves matter most of all.Through a series of reflective questions, students find their "one word" of focus to encourage and inspire them in the coming months. Appropriate for the beginning of the school year, the start of a new calendar year, or anytime in between, this lesson plan includes ideas for incorporating personal goal setting with writing, digital learning integration, and a follow-up lesson integrating computer science. 

Students will be able to define sextortion, explain
common tactics and threats used by extorters,
learn how to avoid being sextorted online, and
outline options available to victims of sextortion.

Join biochemist and Miss America 2020, Camille Schrier, as she uses her kitchen as her laboratory. In this episode of Cooking Up Science with Miss America, we will explore the States of Matter. We know that substances can exist as different states of matter: solids, liquids, or gasses. But can some substances have the properties of more than one state of matter at the same time? Let's explore some oooey gooey Non-Newtonian fluids by making oobleck and slime and discover the science behind them. Developed for students in grades 6-10.
