This resource is a teachers physical education webpage.  On his webpage he has 30 instructional videos of different jump rope skills.  The skills vary in difficulty so every student can find success and challenge.  This allows students to work at their own level and pace to complete skills.

This blog was started in 2011 as a venue for book reviews and thematic booklists. Gradually, the focus began to shift to lesson ideas and managment tips for librarians and classroom teachers. According to Mrs. Readerpants,
"...there is a huge need for librarians to share ideas with one another. New librarians are especially "on their own" in their schools, and many new librarians look to websites like this one for ideas, direction, and a much-needed sense of community. I am honored to be a part of that community and encourage all librarians to reach out and help one another."
Areas users can explore include: New Releases, Reviews, Book Lists, Booktalks, Genre-Fication, Using Picture Books with Older Readers, Library Lessons and Printables, and Running the Library.

This instructional video presents multi-digit subtraction. The presentor begins with basics such as setting up the problem and keeping columns alligned.

This is a video that demonstrates the steps of multiplying fractions. It includes both mixed number multiplication and regular fractions. The video is made by students and other school workers. The music is Drop It Like It's Hot by Snoop Dogg, so is very catchy and motivating. It is a song, with lyrics, that students remember. Once it gets in your head it will not get out.

As we all know not all students learn the same way. The video on this website demonstrates another way for students to do their work. It literally shows a student who has visual/spatial problems walking and talking his way through a math problem.

The Mystery Cube activity is a great way to teach students about inquiry, the nature of science, and constructing/communicating evidence-based claims. The students are given a paper cube, and without touching or lifting it, they must use observations about what is visible on the other faces of the cube to reason about what is on the bottom. There are three cube activities (a simple, primer-to-the-task cube; a more complex cube; a create-your-own cube) that can be used separately, used subsequently, or adapted as needed to match the intended grade level.

When scientists discover a new fossil skull, they compare it to skulls that have already been identified as particular early human species. In this activity, you get the chance to be the scientist!

This two-hour special from PBS discussed atoms and elements, including the development and use of the periodic table of the elements.  Periodic Table discussion begins around the 32:00 mark and includes Theo Gray, author of The Elements.  Appropriate and meaningful modern supplement to chemistry classrooms.

The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center (NURFC) is a beacon of hope that sits in downtown Cincinnati just a few steps from the banks of the Ohio River, the great natural barrier that separated the slave states of the South from the free states of the North. Since opening in 2004, the NURFC has filled a substantial void in our nation’s cultural heritage. Rooted in the stories of the Underground Railroad, the NURFC illuminates the true meaning of inclusive freedom by presenting permanent and special exhibits that inspire, public programming that provoke dialogue and action, and educational resources that equip modern abolitionists. It's vision is to be the preeminent cultural learning center for inclusive freedom — locally, nationally and globally.

This lesson focuses on Native doll makers and how their work is keeping old traditions and developing new ones.  Students are encouraged to examine photographs of dolls from the museum's collections and to connect them to the diverse cultures, communities, and environments they represent.

This lesson serves as an extension to the Howard Hughes Medical Institute short film The Making of the Fittest: Natural Selection and Adaptation. It provides an opportunity for students to analyze amino acid data and draw conclusions about the evolution of coat-color phenotypes in the rock pocket mouse. Students review key concepts and mechanisms of evolution, including mutation, gene flow (or migration), genetic drift, and natural selection. Students should come to understand that evolution can and does repeat itself.

The National Humanities center presents this collection of essays by leading scholars on the topic ŇNature Transformed: The Environment in American HistoryÓ.

Do art and math have anything in common? How do artists and architects use math to create their works? In these lessons, students will explore the intersection of math and art in the works of two artists and one architect for whom mathematical concepts (lines, angles, two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional polyhedra, fractions, ratios, and permutations) and geometric forms were fundamental.

Infrastructures for energy, water, transport, information and communications services create the conditions for livability and economic development. They are the backbone of our society. Similar to our arteries and neural systems that sustain our human bodies, most people however take infrastructures for granted. That is, until they break down or service levels go down.

In many countries around the globe infrastructures are ageing. They require substantial investments to meet the challenges of increasing population, urbanization, resource scarcity, congestion, pollution, and so on. Infrastructures are vulnerable to extreme weather events, and therewith to climate change.
Technological innovations, such as new technologies to harvest renewable energy, are one part of the solution. The other part comes from infrastructure restructuring. Market design and regulation, for example, have a high impact on the functioning and performance of infrastructures.
