This lesson will ask students to think themselves as 'joy' dispersers, likening themselves to the different ways that seeds are dispersed. They will model both and reflect on how they 'spread' joy. One of the pursuits the people in these black literary societies worked towards was intellectualism. This means that they learn something but what they learned doesn't just sit there. It is used to change things, to see things differently or to get to know others and themselves. Another pursuit was joy. In this lesson, they will discuss how to spread joy from one person to the next so it will grow.

Students will read and evaluate different perspectives related to the Green Revolution and analyze how different perspectives can shape the public´s perception of agriculture and biotechnology. Students read different articles written about the Green Revolution and answer questions to encourage them to interpret the meaning behind each article. I use small and large group discussions after students read the articles to also stimuate discussion in my classroom about perceptions of the public. You can extend this activity by having students conduct surveys or additional reseach about more recent topics related to biotechnology and find other articles that showcase different sides of an issue.

Agriculture/environmental science unit for high school students focuses on the make-up of soil, the critters that live in it, and how farmers help to protect the soil through different management practices. The five-lesson unit continues with the physiology of plants and different types of both typical and specialty crops grown in Wisconsin. Plants were also grown in the classroom for a semester-long project with a hydroponic system.

This rubric is intended for use as an assets-based tool for finding High Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) for use as or within storylines adapted for use by Wisconsin educators and students. The tool is comprehensive and aspirational, combining standards from EQuiP and OpenSciEd, but most of the materials vetted within this space will not meet all criteria because they are not full units. Those using this tool are NOT conducting exhaustive reviews of materials, but providing their opinion on the strengths of the materials in these categories. The intent in developing this rubric was to find Wisconsin-relevant resources to swap in and out of a full HQIM storyline. Please review the open-ended comments to read what we believe to be the strengths of the materials and suggestions for how to use them within HQIM storylines.

How can we Design Cattle to Better Meet Human Needs?
In this high school Storyline unit on genetics and heredity, students are introduced to ‘SuperCows’. As they explore the vast variety of cattle breeds, students discover that cattle are specialized for different purposes and while similar, the ‘SuperCows’ are clearly unique. Students wonder what caused this diversity and specificity which leads to investigations about the role of inheritance, DNA and proteins.

This layer is hosted by Wisconsin DNR, and reflects Ice Age Trail updates received from the Ice Age Trail Alliance on December 21st, 2023. This layer is typically updated approximately every two months and is primarily for the purpose of DNR staff use and public download from DNR's Open Data Portal. For more current trail data contact Tiffany Stram (tiffany@iceagetrail.org) GIS/Technology Specialist at Ice Age Trail Alliance. For the official depiction of Ice Age Trails in Wisconsin, see Ice Age Trail Alliance's Ice Age National Scenic Trail Existing Sections - Official Layer: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=735b25ad50e74520b7396d9168f53cfc.
This data layer includes lines representing existing sections of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. This layer is a combination of GPS and digitized data, merged to represent one complete data layer for the IAT. The data was developed by the Ice Age Trail Alliance (IATA) in cooperation with the National Park Service's Ice Age Trail Office.

Virtual lab to demonstrate the process and rationale of the steps of the ELISA Test. ELISA Test is an antibody detection test to help doctors and veterinarians diagnose diseases based on if the animal or person has the antibodies for that disease found in their blood. This lab is great at showing all the steps required to conduct an ELISA Test, as well as provide reasons behind the different steps. The resource attached contains questions for students to answer before, during and after the lab.

Objectives Students will (1) learn to recognize their everyday decisions have an impact on the environment and (2) come to understand why clean air, land and water is important. Students will (3) learn about how they can help the environment at home and school and (4) how industry is doing its part to help prevent pollution. They will also learn how to (5) become good stewards of their environment and (6) how they can make a difference at home and in their community.
"All of our inheritable traits are stored in these nifty things called …
"All of our inheritable traits are stored in these nifty things called genes . You get half of a gene, called an allele , from each of your parents, and it is the way your two alleles interact that determines what kind of a trait you will get from that gene! Alleles tend to be either ""dominant"" or ""recessive."" This means that usually one allele in a pair is bossier than the other and will override it altogether. Therefore, when we show a dominant allele in writing it will have a capital letter. A recessive allele gets a timid lower case one. On a grander scale, genes can fight with one another in the same way that alleles do. One gene can tell another to change how it behaves! Sometimes a bossy gene will hide the effects of other genes. So to tell what the meek genes are doing, you may need to keep a particularly bossy gene out of the picture. On the other hand, if a gene only likes to boss around certain other genes, you'll never know what it's doing unless those other genes are active! For example , if I like to force all red hair genes into making blonde hair instead, but there are no red hair genes around, then I'm not going to be doing much of anything, am I? Now then, are you ready to start exploring the way genes change a horse's color?
