The Biology of Seashores modular approach makes it ideal for teaching concepts of life science and ecology by focusing on intertidal ecology and the diversity of life found at the seashore.
Imagine an animal with no mouth, no digestive system, no excretory or circulatory organs, no brain nor nervous system, and no movement as an adult. In spite of their simple nature, sponges are actually one of the most fascinating animal phyla, when viewed in developmental, ecological, and evolutionary terms. Through animations and time-lapse microscopy, this program clarifies the structure, function, classification, and ecological roles of sponges.

Sponges, one of the most fascinating animal phyla, when viewed in developmental, ecological, and evolutionary terms, are discussed here in this teacher's guide, intended to accompany the "Branches of Life: The Biology of Sponges" video. Provides valuable background information and study suggestions.
The Biology of Viruses introduces these strange parasitic entities - little more than packages of genetic information that subvert cells into producing more viruses. This program begins with our 1980 film presentation of viruses, which has proven to be an excellent general introduction, presented with all new animation. A new six minute section introduces "retroviruses" and describes the HIV infective cycle.

Students will learn about how companies "brand" themselves to promote/market their goods & services. Grades 3-4.
In this week's UEN Homeroom,we talk with Brandon Jacobsen, the CTE - IT Specialist for the Utah Board of Education, about the changing face of computer science in our schools. We discuss topics like: how is computer science being presented to Utah students, the role of computer science in all curriculums - not just STEM, what the job market looks like for students with a CS background, and more.
After the crushing defeat at Waxhaws, the people of the South Carolina backcountry had a decision to make. Were they “Tories”—loyal to the crown; or would they become “Whigs” or “partisans” and fight the British invaders?
Students become novice lexicographers as they explore recent new entries to the dictionary, learn the process of writing entries for the Oxford English Dictionary, and write a new entry themselves.
This presentation of a digital story (narration, images, and soundtrack in a short video) features the polar regions. The story was produced by the free, online magazine Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears.
This problem introduces children to algebra by looking for a pattern and generalizing with a rule. Students explore in how many different ways can a stick of 6, 7 or 8 different colored interlocking cubes be broken into two parts. The Teachers' Notes page offers rationale, suggestions for implementation, discussion questions, and an idea for support and extension.
Combine engagement, critical thinking skills, and content through breakout rooms with Google! Bring your device to come have a hands-on learning experience. Participants will not only be able to try a Google break-out room for themselves, but walk away with tips & tricks on how to implement these in the classroom, and design their own mini break-out! Bring your google account, a device, and get ready to break-out!
The purpose of this task is to assess a student's ability to explain the meaning of independence in a simple context.

Construct a protein through cereal additions. Model the central dogma of molecular biology by constructing a colorful chain using a simple code (and some delicious cereal).
Through a series of picture book read-alouds, students engage in critical discussion of complex issues of race, class, and gender.
Students match documents with types of civil disobedience and then describe how civil disobedience has been used throughtout American history to inspire political or societal change.
Though teachers usually caution students against using sentence fragments, Edgar Schuster's work demonstrates that professional writers often use fragments effectively. This lesson helps students understand that there are reasons that they can and should use sentence fragments to become effective writers.
In this demonstration of chemical change, the presenter blows breath into a methylene blue solution releasing carbon dioxide which acidifies the water and changes it from a bright blue color to green.
