Students will participate in a 5E lesson on classification. To ENGAGE, students will think about common vs scientific names and interpret relatedness between four species. To EXPLORE, students will watch a clip of their choice from Our Planet and document organisms' defining characteristics. Students create a hierarchy to predict the relatedness of the species. To then learn about classification systems, students will participate in the EXPLAIN activities. Three videos and guided notes are available for students to document their learning. An EVALUATIVE formative assignment Candy Cladogram Drag and Drop is available for students to practice their understanding of phylogenetics. Then, students will ELABORATE on their knowledge by researching the scientific names of the organisms they observed in the Our Planet clip (explore section). Students will evaluate the accuracy of their orginial hierarchy and explain how scientific developments have impacted classification. Additional cladograms are included for students to interpret.

The students will visualize how the properties of Quadrilaterals can help them determine the exact shape of the figure. The students will create a model of the properties and compare them to the results the students have from data they have found

This resource introduces, suggests, and proposes multiple approaches for making Joan Didion's essay more accessible while trying not to oversimplify it.

This set of slides can be used to lead early elementary students in a conversation about how we communicate with others.

By the end of this course the students should be able to: Identify the root of Community Health Nursing; identify supportive organizations; differentiate between Public Health Nurse and Community Health Nurse; explain Community Health Nursing; describe the qualities of the Community Health Nurse; describe the different types of community; differentiate between urban and rural communities and outline community profile; explain community entry; describe the preparations made before a community is entered; identify critical actions in community entry; list the advantages of community entry; explain community study; list at least four reasons for community study; explain the various types community study; give two explanation to each data collected; define a community need; identify types of needs; identify the process community needs assessment and list the uses of needs assessment.

In this lesson, students will use manipulatives to prove that when comparing fractions, the larger the denominator the larger the piece.  Also, when pieces are the same size (the denominator), the numerator denotes how many pieces of that size we have.

In this lesson, students will use manipulatives to prove that when comparing fractions, the larger the denominator the larger the piece.  Also, when pieces are the same size (the denominator), the numerator denotes how many pieces of that size.  Students will be able to sort fractions quickly by adding the fraction by itself to determine if it is smaller, equal, or larger than ½. 

This is a remix of "Comparing Speeds in Graphs and Equations" by Illustrative Mathematics. The activity can be used to introduce the characteristics of direct variations. There is also a link to a direct and inverse variation foldable.

Explore a NetLogo model of populations of rabbits, grass, and weeds. First, adjust the model to start with a different rabbit population size. Then adjust model variables, such as how fast the plants or weeds grow, to get more grass than weeds. Change the amount of energy the grass or weeds provide to the rabbits and the food preference. Use line graphs to monitor the effects of changes you make to the model, and determine which settings affect the proportion of grass to weeds when rabbits eat both.

This course introduces the compilation process, presenting foundational topics on formal languages and outline each of the essential compiler steps: scanning, parsing, translation and semantic analysis, code generation, and optimization. Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: describe the compilation process and explain the function of the components that comprise the structure of a compiler; apply concepts of formal languages and finite-state machines to the translation of computer languages; identify the compiler techniques, methods, and tools that are applicable to other software applications; describe the challenges and state-of-the-practice of compiler theory and practice. This free course may be completed online at any time. (Computer Science 304)

This resources is for students to take notes about LAN and WAN computer networks so they can compare and contrast the two.

Supplemental teaching resources for the 6th grade Standards of Learning for Computer Science.  These teaching resources include video lessons, practice activities and assessments organized by standard.These resources were not developed as a curriculumfor 6thgrade Computer Science, but asa collection of organized resourcesthat educators can choose from and adapt to their learning environments.Teachers can choose what they like or use the resources in a linear learning progression.

This 90-minute activity features six interactive molecular models to explore the relationships among voltage, current, and resistance. Students start at the atomic level to explore how voltage and resistance affect the flow of electrons. Next, they use a model to investigate how temperature can affect conductivity and resistivity. Finally, they explore how electricity can be converted to other forms of energy. The activity was developed for introductory physics courses, but the first half could be appropriate for physical science and Physics First. The formula for Ohm's Law is introduced, but calculations are not required.

The Concord Consortium develops deeply digital learning innovations for science, mathematics, and engineering.

This concept-building activity contains a set of sequenced simulations for investigating how atoms can be excited to give off radiation (photons). Students explore 3-dimensional models to learn about the nature of photons as "wave packets" of light, how photons are emitted, and the connection between an atom's electron configuration and how it absorbs light. Registered users are able to use free data capture tools to take snapshots, drag thumbnails, and submit responses.

Elementary grade students investigate heat transfer in this activity to design and build a solar oven, then test its effectiveness using a temperature sensor. It blends the hands-on activity with digital graphing tools that allow kids to easily plot and share their data. Included in the package are illustrated procedures and extension activities. Note Requirements: This lesson requires a "VernierGo" temperature sensing device, available for ~ $40.

Explore how populations change over time in a NetLogo model of sheep and grass. Experiment with the initial number of sheep, the sheep birthrate, the amount of energy sheep gain from the grass, and the rate at which the grass re-grows. Remove sheep that have a particular trait (better teeth) from the population, then watch what happens to the sheep teeth trait in the population as a whole. Consider conflicting selection pressures to make predictions about other instances of natural selection.

Lecture notes on a discussion of climate change and its impact on agriculture as well as overall human health concerns. Climate change is placed in a historical context and speculated on ways in which future human existence may be altered as a result of a changing climate.

Students use gesture to describe the bulk deformation and local deformation apparent in images of a contractional analog experiment. Students then calculate bulk shortening and bulk thickening for the experiment and describe the structures accommodating that strain.

This is a set of Google Slides or PowerPoint slides intended to facilitate presenters who are developing presentations and want to share those slides with an open license.  Each slide offers information about creative commons as well as a footer that can be copied, edited, and used to indicate the presenters willingness to share their work as OER.

Learn the basics of designing your own creativity-boosting challenge for learners of all types.
