In this interactive activity from the Building Big Web site, use your knowledge of bridge design to match the right bridge to the right location in a fictitious city.

In this unit of study students learn about different types of bridges and how to design and build their own bridge. This unit integrates nine STEM attributes and was developed as part of the South Metro-Salem STEM Partnership's Teacher Leadership Team. Any instructional materials are included within this unit of study.

During interactive read-aloud sessions, students identify how an author conveys mathematical information about animals' sizes and abilities. They then conduct research projects focusing on the same mathematical concepts.

This short text is designed more for self-study or review than for classroom use; full solutions are given for nearly all the end-of-chapter problems. For a more traditional text designed for classroom use, see Fundamentals of Calculus (http://www.lightandmatter.com/fund/). The focus is mainly on integration and differentiation of functions of a single variable, although iterated integrals are discussed. Infinitesimals are used when appropriate, and are treated more rigorously than in old books like Thompson's Calculus Made Easy, but in less detail than in Keisler's Elementary Calculus: An Approach Using Infinitesimals. Numerical examples are given using the open-source computer algebra system Yacas, and Yacas is also used sometimes to cut down on the drudgery of symbolic techniques such as partial fractions. Proofs are given for all important results, but are often relegated to the back of the book, and the emphasis is on teaching the techniques of calculus rather than on abstract results.

This brief article describes the historical methods of marking and measuring time. Among the instruments and methods discussed are sundials, water clocks, celestial motions, and mechanical clocks. Included are descriptions of the sources of inaccuracies of these methods. Links to related resources and a separate page of pedagogical notes are provided.

As a culminating activity for "Slaughterhouse-Five", students make a compilation album (a CD with 6-8 tracks) that reflects their analysis, understanding, and reaction to the ideas in the novel "Slaughterhouse-Five".

This three-act math task utilizes videos and questioning to help students explore addition and subtraction within 100.

This website has a daily math challenges. Teachers, parents, and students may sign up for an account. The daily challenges range in difficulty, but would be appropriate for middle school students.

Imagine if vocabulary could come alive with the click of a button! Students create video posters to demonstrate knowledge of new economics vocabulary.

Microsoft is reimagining the future of education with AI. AI can empower everyone to focus on what matters most. With tools like Copilot, educators can save time, amplify creativity, and support students in the ways that work best for them. And schools can transform education experiences through their own copilots, with safety and responsibility built-in from the very beginning.

Gemini is your AI-powered assistant for education. Bring presentations to life with original images and designs using Gemini in Slides. In this video, an instructional coach uses Gemini in Slides to create a unique, eye-catching visual to promote a new science program using his school's colors.

Science Phenomena: HS Physical Science - Energy - As ocean water freezes into solid ice the remaining saltwater forms into icy "stalactites" that descend into the ocean. This can be used as a phenomenon in an elementary class to show changes in state. In middle and high school the chemistry can be explored more deeply.

This may be a helpful resource to support teachers in developing artifacts of learning about human reproductive anatomy and physiology.

This first year Geography textbook takes a holistic approach to Geography by incorporating elements of physical, human and regional geography, as well as bringing in methods and perspectives from spatial information science.. This textbook applies a fundamental geographical approach to understanding our globally changing world by looking at local processes which are linked to larger global processes and events. For example mining and its effects are a global issue and we can see how these unfold in BC. A further example is the recent apology to First Nation peoples on the residential school treatment, as similar events occur in the US, Ireland and Australia. Processes of urbanization, a phenomenon which people all over the globe are experiencing, can be seen in Vancouver with our discussion of the city’s development. Geography students, indeed all first year students, need to be able to critically assess their own contexts and environments in order to properly engage with our continually globalizing world.

How does news get from the front lines to your feed? Let’s take a look behind the curtain... Students will gain an understanding of what constitutes broadcast news and how it’s produced. They will use this knowledge to work backwards, investigating and critically analyzing news stories they’ve recently encountered. Click on the Activities Tab to complete the lesson.

Join UEN PDTV as we travel to Vernal, Utah, to meet with CTE teacher Kami Elison, who has developed a broadcast journalism program at Uintah High School where students learn and grow outside the classroom. Discover how she integrates state-licensed tools and real-world experiences to equip students with the skills they need to succeed in post-secondary education and beyond.

Students create brochures on the same topic as another piece of writing they have done, highlighting how shifting purposes and audiences creates changes in their strategies as writers.
