You Pour, I Choose presents students with a real-world application of which cylindrical container holds more soda. Students will find the volume of soda in two different sized cylinders.

Dane County's abundant surface water resources are monitored and assessed primarily by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR). Major streams and lakes are classified into categories based on the aquatic organisms present. These classifications provide an indication of water quality and fishery conditions.

Agricultural and urban land uses contribute to nutrient rich runoff reaching surface waters. Impervious surfaces and removal of wetlands also increases the flow of stormwater to local waterways. Explore issues facing our surface water and see maps of degraded water resources.

Effective water quality planning depends on long-term assessment and monitoring. The Capital Area Regional Planning Commission uses long-term datasets to evaluate regional trends.

Learn about practices meant to protect the region's streams, shorelands, and lakes.

The Debit Credit Theory Accounting Song is a catchy tune that intrduces students to the foundation of accounting which is the debits and credit theory. It would be most effective to introduce to intro level accounting students to demonstrate how debits and credits work.

The video models a 6th-grade teacher, Viet-ly Nguyen, using student talk to analyze and interpret characters' actions in a selection from One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia.  During the student talk, the teacher adds criteria to the discussion to guide students as a participation protocol.

The teacher's process is interspersed throughout the video, explaining her purpose behind each of the steps.

Democracy in America is a unique 15-part course for high school teachers to provide a deeper understanding of the principles and workings of American democracy. By combining compelling video stories of individuals interacting with American government, theoretical discussions of the meaning of democracy, and problem-solving, hands-on exercises, the course gives life to the workings of American democracy.

Drag the red marker along the x axis to move the point and tangent line. Choose among polynomial, trigonometric, and logarithmic functions.

Students divide a parking lot into evenly spaced sections based on various widths of the dividers. Students will generalize the experience to write equations to help evenly space any size parking lot with any size dividers and any number of dividers.

This interactive web tool and lesson helps students count large numbers of things by using the mathematical structures of area and proportionality. Students use a ratio table to keep track of their work as they count the number of tiles required to cover a floor, and the time required to put those tiles in place.

The activity is a two-part activity. The first part is a short 2 minute video that goes through the four different types of slopes: positive, negative, undefined, and zero. The video discusses all four types and gives an example of a line.

The second part has students using this knowledge to identify different types of slopes of each letter of the alphabet.

The purpose of this task is to develop spatial structuring by showing the student that a rectangle can be partitioned into unit squares. I used it in addition to the "Partitioning a Rectangle into Unit Squares"https://www.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/2063, for those students who were not able to complete the first activity of drawing a grid on the rectangle by connecting each mark. On the rectangle worksheets you may need to scaffold through the rectangles, starting with placing unit tiles or squares on the rectangle. Then proceed through the rectangles scaffolding as needed.

Developing a Vision for and with Your Child is a self-paced training for educators and families which covers:

What do we mean by vision?
Why is vision important as an advocacy tool?
How can a vision statement support my child at school and in the community?
How do we develop a vision statement?

The goal of the training is to enable families, teachers and students to have a vision of a future. The vision is a work in progress that will develop over time, but sets goals and directions for students with disabilities.

Students utilize resumes, cover letters, and examples of their best work to develop an online portfolio. The goal of the portfolio is for students to use during the employment search process.

This activity demonstrates diffusion, osmosis, and active transport through 12 interactive models. Start by following the path of a molecule of dye in water, create concentration gradients on either side of a cell membrane and watch the movement of substances in and out of a cell, and monitor the movement of oxygen into red blood cells with and without hemoglobin.

This lesson is an exploratory station activity to assist students in building a model of diffusion, as cellular transport.

Genius.com is a crowd-sourced, living-document website in which users annotate all types of texts, including poems, novels, song lyrics, and plays. In this resource, users see annotations of "Stopping By Woods On a Snowy Evening." This resource could be used in a variety of ways: as a model for annotation, as a tool for deep analysis of Frost's poem, or as a spring board into collaborative annotation (either on this website under an educator log-in or on a collaborative Google Document).

The lesson is 23 pages and about the Pythagorean Theorem.  It starts off with the mathematical goals and standards for the lesson. The resource is laid out with easy to  follow instructions.   There are various bolded titles starting with an introduction, materials needed, it gives a suggested lesson outline, along with practice examples. The lesson is about discovering for understanding the Pythagorean Theorem.  The resource uses black and red text to show the difference between what the teacher needs to do/say and wha the student needs to do.

This virtual textbook on Public Health teaches strategies for disease prevention. The website explains disease prevention using three categories - primary, secondary, and tertiary. In the description of each one, the website includes several examples like vaccination, regular tooth brushing, screening, environmental modifications, and check-ups. The website also provides a chart with three medical conditions and the stages of disease prevention. As an interactive activity, teachers can print out this chart for students, leaving the stages of disease prevention boxes blank. Students can brainstorm what methods of disease prevention would fall under each category of each medical condition. At the end, the teacher can review some correct examples, using the key provided on the website. The goals of this activity are for students to identify methods of disease prevention; identify if the method is primary, secondary, or tertiary; gain an understanding of what primary, secondary, and tertiary mean; and be able to list some strategies of disease prevention for example medical conditions.

Disney's Inside Out is a movie celebrating the feelings, trials and tribulations of young preteens. The supplemental resources included in the link will help students think about feelings and how they deal with their own feelings. This is the opening video shown in developing positive employablity behaviors and asking students to reflect on how they cope and deal with their feelings.

This website provides an icebreaker, presentation/video, and classroom research/discussion activity to teach students about diverse beliefs that impact medical care delivery. The resource provides a lesson plan for teachers which includes learning objectives, lesson format, vocabulary, and materials needed. Through the optional icebreaker, students can reflect on their identities and learn about diversity in the classroom. Through the Cultural Competence presentation and video, students can learn about diversity and culture in general. And through the research/discussion activity, students can understand a certain culture/country and their beliefs on medical care. They can share their findings with a small group and answer some provided discussion questions. Not only does this activity teach students that diversity can impact beliefs and behaviors about medicine, but it also teaches respect for other cultures AND it teaches what specific countries/cultures believe about medicine.
