Site provides lessons, tutorials, interactive games, and resources to teach and learn personal financial concepts such as credit, budgeting, purchasing, and personal goal setting

The resource is a video and a web quest to introduce students to keystone species and trophic cascades. I use both activities after students learn about food chains & webs and energy pyramids. The students work individually or in small groups to complete the web quest. I show the video before the activity to the entire class. The video can be viewed at home. Teachers can extend the activity by having students share the keystone species they researched in small groups or whole class.

Through research and categorization students learn about the materials used in making modern electronics and why it is important to recycle them. This small-group activity helps students understand the economic and environmental impact of common electronic devices and why it is important to recycle them.

This lesson is designed to help students connect learning about chemical reactions to future careers. Students will look at a career of interest and link it to a specific chemical reaction.

This website provides a collection of submitted puzzles for math students and their teachers. For each puzzle, students work to determine how each of the numbers, shapes, or graphs & equations are unlike the other three in the puzzle. There are many different, correct ways of choosing which one doesn't belong, and no answer keys are provided.

This webquest has students find out who represents them in federal , state and local levels of government and how they can contact them as an active, informed citizen.

Instructor Notes: Teachers can assign this content to their students in iCivics account and then Clicking the Assign button on this activity. Teachers will then have the option to add a Class into iCivics OR Sync a roster from Google Classroom. This will allow teachers to see student's responses. There are also Downloadable Resources available to support this learning activity.

The resource was developed as an introductory activity to a Shakespeare unit within a 9th grade English class . Using the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Guidelines, students have the choice to listen to one (or more) of four TED Talks exploring the relevancy of Shakespeare in our current time. Students are working toward answering the question, "Why are Shakespeare and his works still important?" The lesson learning targets are:
1. I can understand how Shakespeare’s works are still relevant today.
2. I can activate my background knowledge about who Shakespeare was and why he is important.
3. I can analyze a speaker’s message about Shakespeare and make connections to it.

Wild Kratts PBS Kids is a website that supports the Wild Kratts PBS Kids television show.  This Wild Kratts PBS Kids website features games, habitats, videos, creaturepedia, and biology.  Assessments are not included with Wild Kratts PBS Kids.  Educators will be explected to resources because of the size of the collection.

The winter severity index (WSI) is a measurement to help gauge the effects of the winter weather on
deer survival. The index was developed in the early 1970’s and is calculated by adding the number of
days with 18 inches or more of snow on the ground to the number of days when the minimum
temperatures were 0◦
F or below. In general, the severity of the winter is based on the total number of
points accumulated over the collection period. A winter with an index of less than 50 is considered mild,
50 to 79 is moderate, 80 to 99 is severe, and over 100 is very severe.

This resource was created as part of the CESA #1 EL OER Project to help EL students access social studies curriculum and/or texts related to Wisconsin history (fur trade and early settlement). The first page can be used as a vocabulary reference during the unit. Students can use this page to help understand text about this unit or to write related sentences. The matching activity can be used to introduce/pre-teach vocabulary, or it could also be used as an assessment tool (for level 1 & 2 ELs) to see if students understand vocabulary related to Wisconsin and this time period.

These slides provide the mathematical modeling routines, "If I knew...then I could" and "Mathematizing the World," also know as Notice and Wonder, using sites from all over the state of Wisconsin. This Wisconsin resource was inspired by math modeling information and resources found on the www.eqstemm.org website.

The Surface Water Data Viewer is a mapping tool for the State of Wisconsin. It provides interactive web mapping tools for a variety of datasets, including chemistry, physical, and biological data. The data managed in layers that can be turned on and off as needed. The Homepage of the Surface Water Data Viewer (SWDV) has many commonly used features labeled. Descriptions of the features are as follows:

Toolbars: There are a variety of toolbars with different themes to help complete tasks using the SWDV. The toolbars can be used to display the layers available to the map, add or remove shapes, text, or measurement features, identify points, print maps, and more!

Search Bar: Using the search bar, you can search monitoring stations by number, locations by keyword, and waterbodies by WBIC. Be careful when using the search bar, partial matches do not always appear in the results.

Navigation Pane: The navigation pane is where results will appear from searches, where you are able to select layers for the map, and features for printing. You will be able to refine the data that is shown here, if desired. You can hide the navigation pane by clicking the left-facing arrow at the top.

Coordinates and Coordinate System: The coordinates will display for any point moused-over on the map. Click the black triangle to select your preferred method for displaying lat/long (DD, DMS, DDM, Mercator). The right-most option in this pane allows you to manually manage thescale of the map. Click on the scale tool, and selected the desired scale at which you wish to view the map. Select Go to implement changes.

Scale Bar: The scale bar shows the current extent of the map.

Whole State View: This view describes what is being shown on the main map relative to the entire state. A blue rectangle will cover the region of the state being shown on the map. You can also navigate the map by moving the blue square around the state-view map. If you print a map, this whole state view will print in the corner as a reference. You can minimize this view by clicking the corner-facing arrow in the top left edge of the box.

Show/Hide Toolbar: Use this button to hide the toolbar for a larger view of the map. If you have hidden the toolbar, you can also use this button to show it again.

Teach students about life cycles by learning about worms and the ways they benefit the garden and farms.
Through reading literature and completing hands-on activities, the class will conduct a worm investigation and
observe that the organisms (and other animals) need food, air and space to grow.

The video helps students turn an essay prompt into an introduction for an essay through the use of manipulatives.

This independent training module by the Health Workforce Initiative teaches written communication for producing professional quality healthcare documents. After explaining the importance of written communication in healthcare, the module provides two main activities. I would recommend just the first activity as that aligns with the standard, and the second one does not. For the first activity, students will receive a “Discharge Instructions” document, and the students will rewrite this document using professional words that a patient without a healthcare background would understand. The goals of this activity are for students to practice professional writing for healthcare documents, identify terminology they should use to communicate with patients in healthcare documents, and practice some English Language Arts skills.

Math in Three Acts by Dan Meyers are three part math tasks that engage students through thought provoking videos. The main question students engage with is "What's the probability of getting a yellow starburst in a package of starburst?" Students will think about what they information they need to determine this in Act 2. Student then predict the experimental probability based on the theoretical probability in Act 3.

While funded programs in Missouri exist to guide families whose teens with disabilities enter young adulthood, families still struggle to find what they need because of barriers such as time, income and paperwork. Kansas City parents say programs are hard to find and systems are confusing. In this episode, families and disability experts outline challenges they face and what they wish existed.
