This new version of the CCK adds capacitors, inductors and AC voltage sources to your toolbox! Now you can graph the current and voltage as a function of time.

Build circuits with capacitors, inductors, resistors and AC or DC voltage sources, and inspect them using lab instruments such as voltmeters and ammeters.

Build circuits with resistors, light bulbs, batteries, and switches and take measurements with laboratory equipment like the realistic ammeter and voltmeter.

This lesson is designed to further student understanding of what it looks like to be a good Digital Citizen in their community. Students will use the medium of filmmaking to share their understanding of digital citizenship and to either portray a fictional scenario involving a digital citizenship principle or a documentary-style clip sharing information about digital citizenship.Event Photographer and Videographer Icon courtesy of canva for education wichaiwi from WiStudio

This is a week-long, school-wide lesson to help Elementary Schools teach internet safety. The Lessons were designed with power statements in mind and then student challenges are given.  Along with individual challenges, a button-making contest was integrated and the winning image was made into a school-wide button for all the students.These lessons were collaboratively designed by a committee of teachers and the school community council for Eagle Valley.

This is a digital citizenship lesson geared towards a fourth grade class. The text Nerdy Birdy Tweets by Aaron Reynolds is used to open a discussion about positing positive, kind things online. 

This lesson has students practice having polite and postive online interactions with eachother. It is specifically done through Canvas, so any teacher who uses this lesson will want to be familiar with using Canvas, specifically Canvas Discussions.
