Choose Your Own Adventure: Dividing Fractions

(View Complete Item Description)

 Students will be given a division model, mathematical sentence, or practical problem to solve. After solving a problem, they will enter their answer into the Google Form and it will tell them if they got the correct solution.  If they answered incorrectly, they will need to try again to move on.  If they answer correctly, they choose which problem they want to solve next.  This activity is designed so that students will complete 5 problems.

Let's Go Shopping

(View Complete Item Description)

In this activity, students will visit six stores by clicking on each store name. Each store will have a different scenario in which students will have to calculate an amount based on the question. Students will first estimate the answer, then give the actual solution. Students are to round answers to the nearest cent.

Spinning Integers: Multiplying

(View Complete Item Description)

In this activity, students will spin a spinner with the number -5 to 5 (including zero.) They are to spin the spinner twice and record the two numbers. Then, students will use the two numbers to create a true equation. Once students create the two solutions, they will then determine if it will yield a positive, negative, or neither result?

Create Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

(View Complete Item Description)

It is suggested that this activity be used once students have a deep understanding of parallel and perpendicular lines. Students will be given the equation of a line in various forms and based on that information, must drag points on a graph to create parallel and perpendicular lines. Initially students will not be shown the graph of the original line, but can obtain that hint if necessary. Once students submit their solutions on the graph, they can reveal the answer, but will no longer be able to adjust their work. This could be used as an assessment, especially during distance learning.

Pythagorean Theorem Word Problems

(View Complete Item Description)

Students will complete a variety of Pythagorean Theorem word problems:ones where they must find a legones where they must find a hypotenuseones where they must find a perimeterones where they must find 2 legs.The activity is created so that the graph animates their solution to help them determine whethere the distance they found was too short, too long, or just right.

Modeling DNA and RNA 5E Lesson

(View Complete Item Description)

Students will participate in a 5E lesson. To ENGAGE, students will connect their understanding of the characteristics of life to the fundamental molecule of life: DNA. To EXPLORE, students will extract DNA from fruit in a hands on (or video of a) lab, and then, students will act as Watson and Crick and use clues to discover the structure of DNA. In the EXPLAIN section, students will use slides to fill out guided notes on the structure of DNA and RNA. To ELABORATE on their understanding of DNA, students can participate in the CRISPR-Cas9 interactive and the Regulation of the Lactase Gene click and learn. Formative evaluations of students's ability to model DNA include (1) using an online interactive, (2) using their bodies as a class, and (3) using a cut and paste model. Finally, the summative EVALUATE is a DNA Model FlipGrid in which students use various materials to construct and explain the structure of DNA.

The Central Dogma: Replication, Transcription, and Translation 5E Lesson

(View Complete Item Description)

Students will participate in a 5E lesson. To ENGAGE, students will connect their understanding of similarities between parent and offspring to the fundamental molecule of life: DNA. To EXPLORE, students will participate in interactives to observe, analyze and summarize how genes are used to create proteins and traits. In the EXPLAIN section, students will take notes on DNA replication and the Central Dogma. To ELABORATE on their understanding of DNA, students will participate in a protein synthesis race (game) to practice transcription and translation. Formative evaluations of students's ability to explain the process of protein synthesis include (1) a protein synthesis and codon practice sheet, (2) a labeling activity, and (3) making a recording that models and explain the process. As an extension, students can apply their understanding of mRNA to explain how the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines work. Finally, int summative EVALUATE, students model replication, transcription, and translation as they build an organism!
