Share this project with your students, they will learn about research and how to do it correctly, how to write texts and also learn about Black pioneers in medicine.
In this interactive image, students view four paintings and drawings, with accompanying commentary, to learn about Black soldiers in the Revolutionary War, including the 1st Rhode Island Regiment, Peter Salem, James Armistead Lafayette, and Black Loyalists who responded to Lord Dunmore’s Proclamation.

How does the blackbody spectrum of the sun compare to visible light? Learn about the blackbody spectrum of Sirius A, the sun, a light bulb, and the earth. Adjust the temperature to see the wavelength and intensity of the spectrum change. View the color of the peak of the spectral curve. (Phys 3.3)
In this problem students explore the concept of proportion by comparing the relative strengths of different mixes of juice flavor and water in a visual context. Given four mixtures represented by purple and white rectangles, students order the drinks from strongest to weakest flavor and explain their reasoning. The Teachers' Notes page offers suggestions for implementation, discussion questions, and ideas for extension and support.
In this video adapted from NASA, two members of a NASA research team working to produce carbon nanotubes share some background behind this new technology, show examples of how it will be useful, and explain the various tests being performed to ensure readiness for spaceflight.

3, 2, 1... Blast off! Students learn new vocabulary by taking a virtual field trip to the moon, read-alouds, creating a picture dictionary, and completing a final writing activity.
Children will learn simple hand gestures to break words into syllables, show the beginning sound and the rest of the word as they blend and segment each word. They will practice with 5 new words per activity.
This learning path focuses on using Microsoft Teams to engage with students in remote and hybrid learning environments. Discover ways to utilize Teams to support all learners in different types of learning environments. Educators will find the best ways to connect with their students no matter the learning model.
This blended learning lesson plan is a hyperdoc that students can work through individually to learn what a prefix is, practice identifying prefixess in words, understand the meaning and how it changes the word to mean something new. Students will work through this hyperdoc with required assignments/ tasks, these include instruction through videos and practice. The rest of the hyperdoc students can pick and choose what they want to do with a required limit of acitivites. They will be assessed throughout the hyperdoc to check their understanding and at the end they will complete a worksheet based on their level of understanding to turn in for the teacher to have as evidence of their understanding.

This episode focuses on phonological awareness. Reading expert Linda Farrell helps kindergartener Autumn learn to blend two parts of a syllable (onset and rime). Watch how Ms. Farrell gives Autumn explicit practice with onset and rime — a core phonological awareness skill that helps kids recognize and blend sound chunks within syllables
Students tend to be fascinated by colors and patterns of organisms, and by thinking and learning about these and other adaptive strategies. Colors and patterns in nature are a great entry point to understand adaptations. This activity focuses on how organisms’ patterns and colors help them stand out or blend in with their environment, and how this helps them survive. Students observe the main colors in the landscape, then search for plastic animals hidden there, noticing which blend in with their surroundings and which stand out. Then, students discuss what made the animals blend in or stand out, construct explanations for how this could help the animals survive, and learn four categories for color and pattern adaptations: camouflage, mimicry, warning, and attraction. Students apply these concepts as they search for real organisms in the area, then discuss how patterns and coloration might help the organisms survive in their habitat.
To prepare for literature circles featuring historical novels, students research the decades of the 1930s to the 1990s and share their information using Prezi, a web application for creating multimedia presentations.
Chicana poet, publisher and educator Maria Miranda Maloney honors her ancestors through her poem “Blessed." This video is one of the 2021 Dead Poets Open Mic Series created by the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino in collaboration with Mouthfeel Press.
The eye’s retina receives and reacts to incoming light and sends signals to the brain, allowing you to see. One part of the retina, however, doesn't give you visual information—this is your eye’s “blind spot.”
In this task, output is given from a computer-generated simulation, generating size-100 samples of data from an assumed school population of 2000 students under hypotheses about the true distribution of yes/no voters.
Help early education students explore simple block coding through interactive games.
Many teachers and schools are leveraging chromebooks in classrooms, allowing teachers and students to explore learning in new and powerful ways. However, managing a classroom full of students on chromebooks can be a headache. In this over-the-shoulder session, we will share how Alpine School District has implemented Blocksi, a tool that helps teachers keep students safe while enhancing the learning environment. We will demonstrate how Blocksi helps teachers manage a classroom and share teacher perceptions of using Blocksi.
