Dani and Jared are pleased to welcome Bri DeLeon and Richard Thomas, from Latinos in Action, into the Homeroom this week. During this powerful episode we discuss topics such as: How do we talk to students about racism? What does systemic racism look like in the education system? How do we encourage schools to celebrate diversity? How do we include parents and families into conversations about racism? And what are some strategies that can help create a more inclusive environment for faculty and students?

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.

In this episode of UEN Homeroom,Dani and Matt are joined by ULEAD program director McKell Withers and the 6th grade teachers at Greenwood Elementary. Listen to learn more about the ULEAD education initiative and how these successful educators and their students have become "Bright Spots" in their school district.

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.

In this activity, students will learn about the life cycle of a brine fly.

In this activity, students will learn about the life cycle of a brine shrimp.

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.
