Great supplemental resource to support teaching caption writing for teachers of journalism or advisors of yearbooks.
This is a hands on demonstration of how a lever works. It give tangible evidence of how moving the fulcrum changes the force needed to liff the load. The demonstration is very clear, and would be easy to duplicate in the classroom with some basic supplies. This would be a good introduction to how a lever works. It would be wonderful to have students replicate what the video shows in their classroom. The video could be stopped periodically to allow students to explore what happens when they move the fulcrum. Then watch the end of the video to view the summary.

This lesson considers how slavery shaped the family life of the enslaved in the American South. America in Class Lessons are tailored to meet the Common Core State Standards. The Lessons present challenging primary resources in a classroom-ready format, with background information and analytical strategies that enable teachers and students to subject texts and images to the close reading called for in the Standards.

This will teach you how to shelter build, hypothermia, treatment, survival gear, fire starting, snow shoeing 101, parts of snow shoes, defitions of snow shoeing, and skills needed.
This map shows 15 general soil regions of Wisconsin. On the landscape, many of these regions appear distinctly different from each other because differences in land form and use are often related to the characteristics of the soils. Map is available from ~ University of Wisconsin-Extension, GNHC, and Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey. F.w. Madison, Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey H.F.

Big Ideas: Rounding is an appropriate strategy for solving problems and estimating. Numbers can be decomposed and recomposed to add and subtract.
This lesson builds on student knowledge of place value of whole numbers less than or equal to 1000. This task uses a range of weights for endangered animals for students to apply rounding principles to make totals of 1000 and 2000 using addition and subtraction strategies. This builds conceptual understanding of rounding to build upon for practical use for problem solving using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Vocabulary: base-ten, expanded form, place value, accurate, complements, commutative property, partial sums
This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to solve quadratics in one variable. In particular, the lesson will help you identify and help students who have the following difficulties:
Making sense of a real life situation and deciding on the math to apply to the problem.Solving quadratic equations by taking square roots, completing the square, using the quadratic formula, and factoring.Interpreting results in the context of a real life situation.
This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to solve real-life mathematical problems. In particular, students will develop their abilities in the following areas:
- Using proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems.
- Drawing inferences about a population from a random sample of data.
- Making and stating assumptions based on real-life situations.
The lesson unit is structured in the following way:
- Before the lesson, students attempt the Selling Soup task individually. You review their solutions and formulate questions that will help students to improve their work.
- At the start of the lesson, students respond individually to the questions set.
- In groups, students combine their thinking and work together to produce a collaborative solution in the form of a poster.
- In the same small groups, students evaluate and comment on some sample responses. They evaluate these responses and compare them with their own work.
- In a whole-class discussion, students explain and compare solution strategies.
- Finally, students reflect on their work and their learning.
This lesson builds on student understanding of basic two-dimentional shapes having curved and/or straight lines. This is a foundational kindergarten concept and provides experience with concrete and manipulative representation. Â Student are asked to explain their thinking and justify their reasoning when sorting.
Explore the United States space race. By exploring websites, videos and photos, students will learn about the competition between the Soviet Union and the United States.
This is an activity about space weather. Learners will use the Internet, print, video, CDROM, or other sources of information to research the answers to questions specifically related to solar wind and its impact on Earth. This is Activity 10 of the Space Weather Forecast curriculum.
These animal cards can be used to help students learn more about various species, animal vocabulary, and how plants/animals survive. The lesson plan lays out several possible activities.
Students are able to make meaninful connections to vocabulary words by using word endings by creating their own word books to form new books.
"I'd like to suggest the educational technology resource: SpinnerWheel.com
Spinner Wheel is a free online tool that allows for a flexible and engaging approach to learning. It has many use-cases for any subject.
All entries on wheels are fully editable and one of the main things that makes it so useful is the ability to create multiple wheels for use at one time.
An example use of Spinner Wheel for mathematics: https://spinnerwheel.com/mental-mathematics-quiz
and for creative writing: https://spinnerwheel.com/short-burst-writing-ideas-generator
From creating multiple random number generators to equitably selecting students from a group, the possibilities for using this resource in a learning environment are practically endless."
