Science Phenomena: HS Physical Science - Chemical Reactions - This video shows a chemical reaction of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), calcium chloride (road salt), and an indicator phenol red. The chemicals react to form calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, and carbon dioxide gas. This changes the pH inside the bag resulting in a color change in the phenol red. As much air as possible should be removed from the bag as possible to show the production of the gas. This could be used as an example of chemical reaction that releases energy (exothermic). Since the bag is sealed it could be massed before and after to show the conservation of mass (atoms). This phenomenon was submitted by Brian Babulic.

This is a lesson plan that introduces rotational and reflectional symmetry with geometric shapes, focusing on regular polygons. Notes (two copies: a student version and also an answer key, both as a Word doc and a PDF), assignment, and cut-out shapes are provided. There is a final project, with both instructions and an example included. Cover image: Christensen, K., 2022. Reflectional Symmetry of an Atom [screenshot] (Keynote presentation, Rotational and Reflectional Symmetry Assignment).

This infographic provides questions that parents can ask schools about their child's reading skills.

An infographic that shows all of the benefits of sharing materials for teachers who are not sure if they want to share

This slide deck demonstrates how teachers can use the Seesaw platform to document student learning. The presentation will walk teachers through the process of developing digital learning and capture student learning over time.

Science Phenomena: HS Physical Science - Forces and Interactions (Phys 1.3, 2.3, 2.4) - In this dramatic slow motion video a golf ball collides with a piece of steel showing a large amount of compression. Different golf balls are designed to have varying amounts of compression based on the desired behavior of the ball. In a kindergarten class golf balls or baseballs are great examples of pushes causing changes in the motion of an object. In the upper grades this could be a great example of a collision. Students could investigate the behavior of different golf balls (or clubs) and even do some designing themselves.

This resource is from the "Winter Feels Good" CD-ROM developed by SnowSports Industries America and its partners. It includes a template for creating a snowboarding field trip flyer.

The Four Social Revolutions refers to the indentification of social change through modes of subsitance. Examines hunter-gatherers, pastoral, horticultura, agrarian, industrial, and post-industrial.

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.

Have you ever wondered what happens to the different stars in the night sky as they get older? The Star in a Box application lets you explore the life cycle of stars. It animates stars with different starting masses as they change during their lives. Some stars live fast-paced, dramatic lives; others change very little for billions of years. The app visualises the changes in mass, size, brightness and temperature for all these different stages.

This lesson teaches students how to summarize argumenative articles and find connections in the authors' arguments and purposes.

Science Phenomena: HS Physical Science - Energy (Phys 2.1, 2.2) - Supercooling occurs when the temperature of a liquid is lowered below the freezing point without forming a solid. In the case of water it needs a seed crystal or a nucleation site to start forming ice. If the water has been filtered through reverse osmosis or chemical demineralization it can be safely cooled below the freezing point. Simply shaking the bottle forms solid ice.

This infographic outlines three common types of election disinformation that are likely to circulate on social media during election cycles in the United States. It also includes tools and tips for locating credible information in your state or district.

This printable rubric is for teachers, administrators, field instructors and other educators who are evaluating the connection between the technology in a lesson plan and the learning goals of the lesson plan. This PDF includes details on reading the results and instructional moves to foster authentic learning through technology tools.

This webpage includes graphic models that help educators understand the Tripple E Framework and how to apply it.

This webpage includes three planning tools to help educators utilize the Tripple E Framework: the Triple E Walk Through Administrator Observation Tool, the Triple E Lesson Planning Template, and the Triple E Coaching Tool.

This resource includes a pdf file of an infographic. The infographic displays a quick overview of web resources and productions provided by the Utah Education Network (UEN) professional development team. These resources were the focus of UEN's presentations at UCET 2021.

This graphic describes each of the 3 principles of Universal Design for Learning as well as a description for how to access, build, and internalize each principle when designing instruction.

This resource image , I use to present the DLI pathway in my district. in the DLI parents meeting.
As a second grade teacher I felt that parents need to listen again this info after they listen when their children go to Kinder.
