Grade 3 Science: Local alternative assessments, including performance assessments, are to be administered in place of the eliminated Standards of Learning test.  Appropriate testing conditions for the administration of local alternative assessments in Grade 3 Science are determined by the local school division. This resource is to support teachers in the use of the Scientific Investigation Common Rubric.

This lesson is designed for a high school biology class, as it is dependent on students having some prior knowledge of the structure of DNA. It reviews/teaches the key features of DNA structure by allowing students to use the engineering design process to create their own DNA models, compare/contrast provided models, and then edit/assess their own designs.

Help students recognize their habits when using technology using this 24-hour tracking challenge!

An online pedagogical reference grammar of the French language that combines authoritative grammar explanations, self-correcting exercises and online audio with surreal dialogues and cartoon images.

Tex's French Grammar combines explanations with surreal dialogues and cartoon images.
Individual grammar items are carefully explained in English, then exemplified in a dialogue, and finally tested in self-correcting, fill-in-the-blank exercises.

  The students will use knowledge of organizational patterns and transitional phrases to write a magazine article that reviews concepts already taught in a different content area (i.e., science, history).  The completed class magazine will be shared with the community (students, parents, teachers) to demonstrate the content learned.** This performance assessment was developed by a collaborative team of teachers and division staff from Middlesex, Poquoson, and West Point school divisions.

Students explore different ways to change a simple sentence and melody to understand the concept of theme and variation.

This resource is designed as an end-of-unit choice assessment board for students. Although students are permitted to select from a variety of response options, the teacher can still control what each option includes, thus ensuring that the responses students generate meet the unit objectives.

As-is, this resource focuses on literary elements, compare/contrast, cause-and-effect, literary arguments, and rhetoric/persuasion using Gaston Leroux's "The Phantom of the Opera" as the paired text. However, this resource is easily adaptable to suit any text and/or instructional focus.

In this GRASP model performance task, students are asked to step into the role of a genetic researcher and apply their knowledge of transcription and translation to discover the cause, treatment, and possible cure for Sickle Cell Anemia. This task is designed for a high school biology course, but could be modified for other Life Science courses.

This assignment assesses students understanding of transforming an image by translating, reflecting, and dilating. Students plot points and connect the dots to create a pre-image of the Pi symbol to transform.

In this lesson, the students will explore and learn how to translate two step algebraic expressions from words and real-world scenarios.
