Have you ever been traveling down a highway when you see one or both of these signs?

In some cases, the road simply loses a lane as it enters a less traveled section. In other cases, the road narrows because of construction or roadwork. When this happens on a fairly busy highway, it may be a recipe for road rage*.

This is the plan for a printing press simulation. This simulation requires a customizable stamp. Students will need lots of small pieces of paper. This is a race and the teach also participates: Have each student write positive affirmations to each of the other 30 kids in the class and write their name on each piece of paper because they are writing the same thing 30 times this should take a while. Teacher enters the competition a few minutes into the simulation with the customized stamp and then stamps the same message to each of the 30 students. The stamp is much faster than writing and shows why the printing press was such an marvelous invention.

Learn how to create a progress bar for Google Slides using coding in Google.

In this lesson, students will learn how Benjamin Franklin purposefully tried to be virtuous throughout his life.

This is Day 1 of a 5 day unit teaching students strong research skills for a "white paper" style research paper (can be modified for any pro-con research assignment).For the purpose of this assignment, the white paper is an argumentative piece which introduces a problem and argues a solution to that problem.In this team­-taught unit of 5 lessons, students will learn that researching is not a linear process. They will use "pre­search" to help them test, adjust, or even abandon viable topics from their brainstorming. They will learn to narrow ideas to smaller, researchable concepts.

Students will examine, explain, and evaluate a variety of literary and visual primary sources that describe and depict the development and impact of railroads on sectional relationships, national unity, and economic growth during the nineteenth century; analyze and assess eyewitness accounts, a notable photograph, and two maps of railway routes; read, discuss, and draw conclusions about the text and major concepts; make a sound response to one of several possible "essential questions."

Share some great Google Jamboard practices with your students through this amazing post from Control Alt Achieve.

Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun provides a compelling and honest look into one family's aspirations to move to another Chicago neighborhood and the thunderous crash of a reality that raises questions about for whom the "American Dream" is accessible.

In athletics, one of the possible distances to run is 15,000 meters or 15k (in the picture you see the leader in an annual 15k - race in the Netherlands. Please see Wikipedia article below). For this type of run, 15k on a street track, there is a world record, as there are records for all other distances that are run in athletics (e.g. the marathon). In such a race, the organizing committee will usually pay a significant amount of money as a bonus to the winner if he or she succeeds in setting a new world record. These amounts of money can get quite large in order to attract top runners: in the race shown in the picture there was a 25,000 euro bonus if the winner succeeded in improving the 15k world record – which, by the way, he (un)fortunately did not achieve. Had he done so, there would have been a major financial problem for the organizing committee, since they had not purchased any insurance.

This lesson is about Reform Movements in US History, what led to them, and the outcome of their fight for reform. It includes Women's Suffrage, The Progressive Movement, The Rise of the Temperance Movement, and the 1800s-1920s.This lesson will be presented in a primarily synchronous, face-to-face manner. It could possibly span a week in length.

In this lesson, students will learn about the actions of Paul Revere during his midnight ride in April of 1775. They will study how his diligence in working towards American independence helped to advance the cause and use this example to better understand how they can be diligent in their own lives.

By conducting an interview, students can develop research, speaking, and active listening skills. This assignment helps them prepare by rehearsing with a chatbot.

Students learn how to research and develop a topic for a student choice project.

A study of the resettlement of Japanese Americans after WWII and the ongoing hardships and discrimination they experienced in the postwar years. This project was made possible through generous support from the National Parks Service Japanese American Confinement Sites program.

In this Google Applied Digital Skills lesson, students will learn how to respond to questions in Google Classroom.

In this lesson, students learn about responsibility and apply the concept to segments of the U.S. Constitution.

This phenomenon uses a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate. Clicking the metal disc releases a small number of crystals of sodium acetate which act as nucleation sites for the crystallization of the sodium acetate into a hydrated salt. Energy is released from the crystal lattice. The heating pack can be placed in boiling water and the sodium acetate can be dissolved again. This phenomenon shows how bond energy can be released. It also shows the importance of chemical engineering and could lead to a section where students design a device (or application) of their own.

Logan physicist, professor, and climate disruption activist and communicator Rob Davies tells his story about our current climate crisis. To convey the urgency that each of us needs to “pick something and make it ours,” to help the planet, he works with artists.
