Check out how a Science 6 CLT from Arlington, Virginia partnered with the school librarian, resource teacher for the gifted (RTG), SPED teacher, and English Learner (EL) teachers to engage and support all students in a personal research project...remotely!  We are sharing our project resources, experiences, and how this project personalizes distance learning.

Driving Laws Comparison is a collaborative Driver Education project designed by the PHS Drivers Education department. Created By: Pam Spotts of Powhatan County Public Schools Essential Understanding:  What are the laws that govern licensing, drinking and driving, and cellphone use. Essential Knowledge, Skills, and Processes:  Understanding the steps to get your license, laws for drinking and driving, and laws for cell phone use in the state you live in and then comparing that to another state and another country. Looking for similarities and differences.

In this activity, students will develop an idea for a new website they will create to practice their new web accessibility knowledge & development skills. Students will assess what sorts of websites they might create to serve as a platform for information sharing, serving the needs of a particular user group in their school or community, or curating resources around a particular topic.

Students will create an informational poster, collage, slide show, cartoon, or video clip of a specific ecosystem in our watershed. Requirements are as follows:pick a specific tributary, estuary, or wetland. show at least 4 abiotic and 4 biotic factors plus the location that you choseinclude 4 or more pictures to help show the parts of the ecosystem.  cite the sources with the website, title of the site, author, and publishing dateA rubric is included

There are currently three million Indigenous people, from more than five hundred federally recognized Indigenous nations, living in the United States. Since 1492 and the arrival of the first European explorers, Indigenous people's land has been violently seized, leading to a devastating decline in population and the striping away of key aspects of Indigenous culture. It is impossible to synthesize the diverse history and culture of Indigenous people into one unit, but it is important for students to understand that Indigenous people have been, and still are, an important part of our country's history and future. Therefore, this unit has a few focuses. The first focus is on providing students with an overarching understanding of Indigenous people and their history, using the book The People Shall Continue as a guide. After reading the text, students will participate in a guided research project to learn more about an Indigenous nation near where they live. The second part of the unit focuses on different Indigenous people who have worked hard and overcome hardships to create equal opportunities and experiences for Indigenous people today. After reading a few biographies as a class, students will research additional Indigenous heroes to learn more about their achievements, sacrifices, and passions. The goal of the second part of the unit is to shine a light on key Indigenous figures and emphasize the idea that Indigenous people have been and always will be an important part of our country.

In this lesson sequence, students will work in teams to learn the MakeCode and Micro:Bit Development platform. They’ll develop basic programming skills, implementing input, output, variables, and conditional control structures. At the end of the sequence, students will compete in a “puzzle box” challenge, attempting to create a puzzle using their Micro:Bit, code, and craft supplies and earning points based on how challenging their puzzle is to solve.

Create a museum exhibit that will explore a specific historical time period or event through the display and analysis of historical artifacts and primary sources.

In this lesson, students learn the basics of coding for the Micro:Bit using the MakeCode development tool. Students will engage in PRIMM cycles, pair programming, and will begin working on the puzzle box they’ll finish in later lessons by building an “unlocking” animation using display output blocks.This lesson is part of the Micro:Bit Puzzle Box four-lesson sequence. Read about the sequence in the sequence overview, linked here.

Unit is completely in Spanish. Unit includes a Prezi presentation that provides images, videos and a Powerpoint that takes students through what graffiti looks like in Spanish speaking countries as well as its purpose. Artists are interviewed as well as citizens and experts in related fields that study the use of graffiti.
The Unit begins with guiding questions, continues with the presentation and then sets students up to create a final work. Students research graffiti in a country of their choice, answering essential questions. Students then present their findings and are graded by the included rubric.

What is Random? Through this project, students will discover what makes an outcome random. Emphasis will be placed on the difference between deterministic and nondeterministic outcomes.  The project starts out with a discovery activity where students will see the difference between creating data with a coin toss where they just make up the data and creating data through actually tossing a coin.Students will end the project by studying pseudorandom number generators, specifically the Middle Squared Algorithm. They will even create a program that uses this algorithm.  Enjoy!
