Kids learn important life strategies while having fun with familiar Sesame Street characters. Kids will identify with each of the five problems, and they'll not only learn to calm down with deliberate deep breathing, they'll also be introduced to three possible strategies for working through each problem.

This unit uses the slinky seismometer as a means of studying physics concepts such as waves, sound and the speed of sound vs speed of light, resonance, electricity and magnetism, Lenz Law and magnetic dampening (backwards engineering). Students experiment with the basic parts of the seismometer and either build or connect the seismometer to the internet to take and upload data.

Designed for older students dealing with academic stress, Smiling Mind guides users through mindfulness activities. Beyond the app, the Smiling Mind website provides additional resources and activities for school counselors to help students.

In this project, students will use knowledge of electricity and electromagnetism to collaboratively design and test a model of a magnetic recycling sorter. They will evaluate the performance of their models and propose further modifications based on the output of their magnetic device measured in mT using a Vernier probe. They will also physically test their magnets on a model of a conveyor belt containing recyclable items. Students will track their data from both tests, with the ultimate goal of creating the strongest and most effective magnet with given materials. Finally, students will present their findings and proposed final design to peers and community partners involved in the recycling industry. The entire process takes about 6 weeks. The unit is a great fit for standards within energy and engineering & design.

In this lesson, ESOL students will record and edit their Digital Story about a challenge they have overcome. This will be towards the end of the unit, and almost towards the final grading of the project. 

This short guide provides a helpful starting point for bringing sustainable fashion into the curriculum and encouraging members of the whole school community to engage with the issue in their daily lives. With signposting to resources and web links to support learning about the impacts of fast fashion, this guide raises awareness of some of the amazing ways in which people around the world are changing things for the better. It also provides some useful background information about the issue, cross-curricular activity ideas and creative suggestions for taking school-based action. The guide is aimed at teachers and educators working with young people aged 9- 16 but may also be helpful for those supporting younger and older learners.
