The disappearance of bees will have tremendous impact upon the way we live according to scientists in this segment from Nature.
This lesson is intended to be used as part of a unit on Disc Golf taught in an online Physical Education Course (Participation and Skills for Secondary Students). It is meant to demonstrate the students’ participation and assess their competency of motor skills and movement patterns, as well as to refine specific movement patterns. The students will be using digital photography/videography to demonstrate their participation, competency and analysis.

This microcredential represents educators' ability to appropriately use disciplinary core ideas to support student sensemaking. This stack of microcredentials fulfills one of the requirements of the pathway for the Secondary Science Endorsement.
This is a brief summary of the difference between content area reading and disciplinary literacy.
This purpose of this task is to help students see two different ways to look at percentages both as a decrease and an increase of an original amount. In addition, students have to turn a verbal description of several operations into mathematical symbols.
Artifical intelligence is becoming a larger part of daily life; this lesson helps users to explore it and its place in daily life.
Kindergarten teachers can meet education standards for Math, Science, English Language Arts, and Health using the 6 ready-to-go and interactive lessons.
This activity will help students understand the existence of air pressure on earth.
In this video module, students learn how scientists use genetic information from dogs to find out which gene (out of all 20,000 dog genes) is associated with any specific trait or disease of interest. This method involves comparing hundreds of dogs with the trait to hundreds of dogs not displaying the trait, and examining which position on the dog DNA is correlated with the trait (i.e. has one DNA sequence in dogs with the trait but another DNA sequence in dogs not displaying the trait). Students will also learn something about the history of dog breeds and how this history helps us find genes.
This lesson is a fun and engaging way for students to learn about idioms. There are activities that incorporate group work, as well as independent work. Students will illustrate their chosen idiom with the literal meaning and then explain the intended meaning in small groups.
Scientists who are working to discover new medicines often use robots to prepare samples of cells, allowing them to test chemicals to identify those that might be used to treat diseases. Students will meet a scientist who works to identify new medicines. She created free software that ''looks'' at images of cells and determines which images show cells that have responded to the potential medicines. Students will learn about how this technology is currently enabling research to identify new antibiotics to treat tuberculosis. Students will complete hands-on activities that demonstrate how new medicines can be discovered using robots and computer software, starring the student as ''the computer.'' In the process, the students learn about experimental design, including positive and negative controls.
Students learn about memory by doing a memory-writing exercise, studying the brain to understand how it affects memory, reading Li-Young Lee's poem "Mnemonic," and creating projects to demonstrate their understanding.
This article describes how to use art projects to help students learn science concepts and how this integration helps students with language-based learning disabilities.
In this lesson students will use geogebra and other tools to discover how to calculate the slope of a line. They will also recognize lines that have 0 and undefined slope.
Technology can be something that has been created to help make things easier. Technology can also be a robot that helps manufacture vehicles. Look around the environment and discuss how this technology can affect the way people live, work, travel, communicate, or play.
Students read sonnets, charting the poems' characteristics and using their observations to deduce traditional sonnet forms. They then write original sonnets, using a poem they have analyzed as a model.
Through a study of Langston Hughes' poetry, students connect his writing to his place in history.
This is a lesson plan designed to help students construct the concept of a square root in relation to the area and side length of a square. Students will also connect the square root as the undoing of a number that has been squared. A key mathematical concept.
In this episode of UEN's PDTV, we explore strategies to discover high-quality digital resources aligned with Utah Core Standards beyond basic Google searches and expensive educational websites. Join host Katie Blunt as she chats with Lindsey Henderson, a Mathematics Specialist with the Utah State Board of Education, and Jennifer Burt, a Mathematics teacher at Syracuse Jr. High, to learn effective strategies for finding, organizing and curating the perfect digital resources for your students using UEN’s eMedia platform.
With the Flipgrid Discovery Library educators can find great topics for discovery prompts. Educators also create and share their own quality topics for others.
