After playing a video clip of the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz, just after he was 'given brains' and he mentions how the Pythagorean Theorem works have students look for precision in his statement.  This site helps you challenge students to be critical mathematicians and make the Scarecrow's statement more precise.  A link to the video clip is embedded on the page.

This is an activity about comparing images of the Sun in different wavelengths of light. Learners will examine solar images taken by the SOHO spacecraft to look for differences in the features that are visible in the various wavelengths of light. This activity requires access to the internet to view or print images of the Sun. This is Activity 7 of the Sun As a Star afterschool curriculum.

Students will analyze documents from the War Department’s Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands — better known as the Freedmen’s Bureau — that Congress established on March 3, 1865, as the Civil War was coming to an end. Using the scale in Weighing the Evidence, students will evaluate the effectiveness of the Freedmen’s Bureau in assisting formerly enslaved persons. Learning Objectives: Students will be able to identify and draw conclusions about the roles of the Freedmen’s Bureau (Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands), critically analyze primary sources, formulate opinions about the effectiveness of the Bureau, and back up their opinions verbally or in writing.

This is a video that describes how science is a non-linear process in real life and not the linear process termed as the scientific method in traditional textbooks.

When wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park in the United States after being absent nearly 70 years, the most remarkable "trophic cascade" occurred. What is a trophic cascade and how exactly do wolves change rivers? 
Students will watch this video as an example for how populations can change an ecosystem.

Displayed is an outline of the many steps in our Federal lawmaking process from the introduction of a bill by
any Member through passage by the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate and approval by the
President of the United States. Since the large majority of laws originate in the House, the example shown
below starts with that body

This is a short video that explains germs and why some germs are harmful and others are not. A great addition to any lesson on infectious diseases or how germs spread.

In this lesson students will learn how to create the setting for a narrative story.

Students watch the short film The Biology of Skin Color, pausing at specific points. After watching a particular segment of the film, they analyze data presented in a scientific figure and make evidence-based claims using the data and information from the film. The lesson involves graph interpretation and analysis. It was designed to be completed in one 90-minute class period, depending on the amount of class discussion. The lesson brings together many science practices and is appropriate for all levels of high school biology and introductory college courses. 
This lesson was adapted from the case study “The Evolution of Human Skin Color” by Dr. Annie Prud'homme-Généreux published by the National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science (http://sciencecases.lib.buffalo.edu/cs/files/skin_pigmentation.pdf).

This is an activity about using what you can see to identify what you cannot see. Learners will use the criteria they developed in the previous activity in this sequence and analyze whole Sun magnetic map data sets in order to find suspected sunspots on the far side of the Sun. This is Activity 7 of the Space Weather Forecast curriculum.

IWitness includes features for teachers, including guidelines for using Holocaust survivor and witness testimony in education. The guidelines offer practical information and tips about how to integrate video testimony into classroom lessons and projects.   Students have the opportunity to use technology to become more active learners while encountering survivors and other eyewitnesses talking about their experiences before, during and after the Holocaust.

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.

Digital Literacy and Responsibility. The student will learn new skills for using technology in productive, creative, and responsible ways. They will use the skills to help themselves and others in their world to make good decisions about technology. (Description taken from site, retrieved on May,3, 2016)

Students will create a drawing from a written description and examine and discuss how European artists from the past created images of China that combined imagination with written descriptions and limited visual imagery.
