This is a 4 day series of lessons designed to familiarize students with 3D design and computer aided design using Google SketchUp.
As an activity related to FOSS unit Magnetism and Electricity, 4th grade science students use a computer download to explore electrical circuits and to generate illustrations of electrical circuits for physical models built in class
This CTE sample lesson plan incorporates the WIDA Key Language Uses to support English language development in conjuction with content instruction.
This book, Basics of Fluid Mechanics, describes the fundamentals of fluid mechanics phenomena for engineers and others. This book is designed to replace all introductory textbook(s) or instructors notes for the fluid mechanics in undergraduate classes for engineering/science students but also for technical peoples. It is hoped that the book could be used as a reference book for people who have at least some basics knowledge of science areas such as calculus, physics, etc.
Use this at the beginning of school to teach call numbers. Edit the slides for your library-specific call numbers.
Learn more about how to find a career – or volunteer job! – in the vastly varied field of wildlife, as we highlight a wide range of backgrounds and education paths that can lead people to work with wildlife. The range of career paths that lead to working with wildlife is about as varied as the actual wildlife all around us. This episode features several different people working with or for wildlife, highlighting a collection of stories from their daily lives. Learn more about how to find a career – or volunteer job! – in this field, including the range of backgrounds and education paths that can lead people to work with wildlife. Even with a diversity of people, organizations, and agencies, roles, and responsibilities, a number of these professionals work together for a common goal of helping protect wildlife and the environment.
This module is designed for adult learners. It is part of a series of learning modules that encourage them to learn about a topic, consider how to integrate it into K-12 curriculum, and then create or apply their knowledge in some way. This module focuses on making and makerspaces.

This is an online activity for students to compare and constrast settings,characters, and plot events.Students will design a storyboard using four to eight panels that will include digital props, characters, background settings, and character speech bubbles. Upon completion of comic story, students may print projects to share with others.
This webinar is from February 23, 2023, featuring Keisha Tennessee and Calypso Gilstrap from VDOE's Office of STEM and Innovation. Objectives: Ensure understanding of the Computer Science (CS) and Digital Learning Integration (DLI) Standards of LearningProvide educators with a lesson example that addresses CS and DLI standardsDefine the instructional practice of integration and provide examples of CS and DLi integration Examples are related to Advanced AI and ChatGPT
This activity involves an investigation into whether items in a classroom are conductors or insulators. The students predict and then test the items using a complete circuit they have built.
This activity aims to engage middle-school students with cyberbiosecurity topics through a murder mystery-style puzzle. As the narrator, you will set the cybercrime scene and provide breadcrumbs along the way. Your students will serve as investigators, drawing connections between agricultural and computer science topics while they solve the crime. This educational resource is part of a project to support formal and non-formal agricultural educators in integrating cyberbiosecurity topics and research-based strategies for engaging middle-school aged girls in STEM into their educational programs. Cyberbiosecurity is an emerging field that focuses on creating security measures for digital aspects of our food and agriculture systems, creating a structure and opportunity for a safe food system that can meet the large needs of a growing population and world. Our long-term aim is to use this novel disciplinary space to spark STEM career interest of middle school-aged youth in rural communities, with an emphasis on girls, to build new pipelines into cyberbiosecurity careers.This work is supported by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Women and Minorities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Fields (WAMS) Grants Program, award #2020-38503-31950.

Teachers will need to make a copy of the digital activity prior to using it.Students will complete a slide that will describe them and show a photo.
This is a series of lab activities where students complete experiments for open, closed, series and parallel circuits.
This course looks at all forms that energy exists. It explains how energy is used in: transport, agriculture, industry, commerce and households. It describes how energy is stored using storage systems such as: battery, flywheels, compressed air, chemical energy systems and pumped storage. This course explains the problem of depletion of energy resources. It describes the environmental damage associated with the use of fossil fuels, acid rains, dangers posed by leaded fuels, oil spills, gas leaks and explosions, water pollution caused by poorly managed coal mines, and air pollution. It describes the environmental damage associated with the use of fuelwood, uranium, hydro-power plants and wind. It also explains possible solutions to the energy-related problems.

This activity is a lab where the students try to make a lightbulb light up using two wires, a battery and a lightbulb.
Attached is the instructor powerpoint and guide. The idea is that the individual training teachers can pick these resources up and begin training. Much of what you will find are Norfolk Public Schools related, but resources can be revised to reflect your district.
