Learn about a study in which participants discovered contaminants in their homes, and how green chemistry may provide alternatives to such everyday toxins, in this video adapted from Contaminated Without Consent.

This lesson plan about green transportation for kids will help you teach them to be mindful of the impact that transportation has on the environment!

Open Education Week is an ideal time to hear from our community members who are leading open education initiatives on their campuses and across their states to reduce costs for students and empower faculty to enhance learning in their classrooms. We will hear from two OER librarians and a faculty member who are successfully growing awareness and adoption of open educational resources. They will share the successes and challenges of coordinating statewide efforts and influencing their colleagues to adopt OER in their courses.

Instructions from the Father of Fast Plants (written by Dr. Paul Williams) about growing Rapid-cycling Brassica rapa (RBR) sucessfully in a Four Cell System (4CS). This file is one of the mini-booklets from "Paul's Sandbox"--it is made Xerox-ready, containing two sheets that together make four copies of two mini information booklets(each booklet measures 8x12cm).The two pages describe the construction, resourcing of materials, and usage of the 4CS, an alternative growing system to the Film Can System described in the Small Booklet titled "Growing Rapid Cycling Brassica rapa sucessfully, Film Can Growing System (FCS)."

This document provides extensive background information about how Fast Plants grow and develop. The distinction between growth and development is explained. Also discussed is how genetics plus interactions with the environment produce variation during growth and development.

In this activity, students explore the web of connections among living and non-living things by mapping an ecosystem. Flashcards and yarn help students see the interconnectedness of an ecosystem, and how cutting one of the connections (for example, by applying pesticides) impacts the entire web.

This is a variety of resources for teaching Habitats. There is an interactive website activity, a PowerPoint with notes sheet, and a lab.

Students further develop close reading skills as they
examine Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The
tragedy of Hamlet develops many
central ideas, including revenge, mortality, madness, and the tension between
action and inaction. Students analyze the play through the close study of
Hamlet’s soliloquies and other key scenes to determine how Shakespeare’s
language and choices about how to structure the play impact character
development and central ideas. The showing of a filmed version of the play in
select lessons supplements students’ understanding of plot and background
points and encourages them to consider actors’ interpretations of the text.

Students will learn about the four pillars of Drug Strategies our society uses to prevent, reduce the number of addicts, and the harm they place on our society; from deaths, disease transmission, crime, cost, etc.  Once students understand each pillar and how these steps help prevent addictions they will focus on the forth pillar which is "Harm Reduction".  Harm Reduction is very contraversal and fairly new in our society, especially with the Heroin Epidemic we are facing in our society.  Harm reduction programs and practices aim to reduce the harms associated with the use of drugs in people unable or unwilling to stop.  Harm reduction programs focus on limiting the risks and harms associated with unsafe drug use (HIV transmission, viral hepatitis, and death from overdose), decrease the cost on society and petty crime.  Students will form personal opinions on three different types of Harm Reduction practices around the world and they work as a group to debate their view point. 

This course focuses on Shakespeare's later plays beginning with Measure for Measure and ending with The Tempest. Building on the discussions of individual plays in Marjorie Garber's book Shakespeare After All, this course takes note of key themes, issues, and interpretations of the plays, focusing on questions of genre, gender, politics, family relations, silence and speech, and cultural power from both above and below (royalty, nobility, and the court; clowns and fools). Designed as part lecture-presentation and part discussion, this is a course that is meant to be interactive, taking up topics generated by students as well as by the instructor. We discuss a play each week, along with the relevant critical reading.
