By studying paintings from the Cave of Lascaux (France) and the Blombos Cave (South Africa), students will discover that pictures can be a way of communicating beliefs and ideas and can give us clues today about what life was like long ago.

This interactive resource adapted from the National Park Service presents the key concepts of cave and karst systems, including how and where they form, different types, and various cave environments.

Inesired by Peter H. Reynolds’s book, The Dot, Marc Faulder encourages his young learners to use drawings, photos, and voice recordings to share their ideas about how they can create positive change in the world.

Learn about and celebrate the accomplishments of famous women in this lesson from Google's Applied Digital Skills.

Particularly applicable when teaching first semester government classes, discuss with students Constitution Day and the importance of recognizing and celebrating it. Students can virtually sign a Constitution and the page also links to various resources, including a playlist of videos on different aspects of the Constitution and Constitution Day. Students and teachers can find a transcript of the Constitution, as well as a great overview of the document through "America's Founding Documents: Constitution." In addition, teachers will find a variety of teaching resources, all of which are free.

Students will learn about different family traditions and holiday celebrations from around the world.

Learn about Lunar New Year and how various cultures around the world celebrate it.

It's elementary that this tour would share the most amazing real world locations connected with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional sleuth.

This interactive feature describes some of the most important structures and functions of the cell membrane.

Use your cell phone to explore the mini-scopic world. Open your eyes to the amazing world of the ultra-tiny when you convert your cell phone into a portable, picture-taking Miniscope using a simple plastic lens from a laser pointer.

This task presents a real-world problem requiring the students to write linear equations to model different cell phone plans. Looking at the graphs of the lines in the context of the cell phone plans allows the students to connect the meaning of the intersection points of two lines with the simultaneous solution of two linear equations.

After reviewing the positives and negatives of cell phones and cell phone usage safety tips, students will explore a scenario in which a friendly relationship turns to a bullying one involving cell phones and computers.

This simple task assesses whether students can interpret function notation. The four parts of the task provide a logical progression of exercises for advancing understanding of function notation and how to interpret it in terms of a given context.

Once upon a time, 300 years ago, a beautiful cello was created by a master craftsman. This wonderful instrument eventually ended up in the gifted hands of one of the greatest cellists in history, Pablo Casals. Soon, the cello became known as Pablo, too. This is the story of A Cello Named Pablo. Listen as modern musician Amit Peled tells how he came to play Casals' favorite instrument. It's the latest episode of YourClassical Storytime, featuring an original story written by Marni Fogelson and illustrations by Avi Katz.

This resource includes a Google Slides presentation teachers can use to teach a lesson on cellular respiration. The Slides presentation can be converted into a Nearpod presentation using the Nearpod add-on. Accompanying this resource is a video explanation of how to use the resource and how technology has been strategically added to the lesson to engage students. I took an "old" lesson on cellular respiration that was simply comprised of a PowerPoint Presentation with a worksheet of fill-in-the-blank notes and a crossword puzzle for early finishers and enhanced it using Nearpod. I also used the new Utah Science and Engineering (SEEd) standards to have students compare the phenomena of how fast can Usain Bolt run, and how many world records he could actually have at the Olympics.  Students take a poll to assess whether they think Mr. Bolt deserves the title, "The fastest man alive!"  When we look at the mathematical chart data using a collaborative board in Nearpod, students can see that glycolysis is different than cellular respiration and that every human has a metabolic threshold.  Students then explore sugar burning through a Nearpod sticky-note discussion and get direct instruction on the chemistry of cellular respiration by using Nearpod fill-in-the-blank cards that automatically score responses.  Resource Author: Shannon Mower

Every cell in your body needs to take in nutrients, oxygen, and raw materials and export wastes and other substances—but it’s not just a random traffic jam! A cell membrane (also called a plasma membrane) regulates what comes in and what goes out. Explore the properties of soap films and relate them to the properties of plasma membranes and the mechanics of transport across membranes.
