In "The Metric System" students will learn to: identify the common metric units of measurement for length, mass/weight, and fluid volume, state numeric equivalents of metric prefixes in both decimal and fraction form and convert between metric units by cancellation and by moving decimals.

In "The Number Line" students will learn to: construct a number line, graph whole numbers on a number line, find the coordinate of a point on a number line, decide which of two points represents the smaller (or larger) whole number and use the < and > symbols to compare whole numbers.

In "Triangles" students will learn to: identify scalene, equilateral, isosceles and right triangles, apply the properties of triangles to find the measure of unknown angles, use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of one side of a right triangle when two sides are given and solve practical problems using the properties of triangles.

In "Understanding Decimal Fractions" students will learn to: write decimals in expanded notation, read decimals, change decimals to fractions, change a fraction to a decimal, provided the denominator is a power of ten and recognize the meaning of zeros to the right of a decimal point.

In "Weight and Temperature" students will learn to: state the relationship between the U.S. units of weight, convert between units of weight in the U.S. system, state the relationship between metric units of mass, convert between U.S. and metric units for weight/mass and convert degrees of temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, and from Celsius to Fahrenheit.

In "Word Problems" students will learn to: express word problems as number sentences, solve word problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers.

UEN Homeroom continues along with our Back to School series as Utah prepares for the return of teachers and students to our buildings. This week we connect with Moe Hickey, CEO of Voices for Utah Children. Our conversation focuses on the fiver key areas of healthy development for kids: health, school readiness, safety, economic stability, and diversity. We also learn what Voices is doing to advocate for Utah students with the state legislature and local school districts.

The normal heart is a muscle about the size of a fist. With every beat it drives three ounces of blood through its intricate chambers and around five quarts throughout the entire body. Though we know much about how it operates, the heart is, nonetheless, a miraculous organ that has baffled the generations of scientists who have tried to mechanically replicate its power and efficiency. Endlessly Beating examines the heart as a muscle - pumping almost 100,000 times a day, pushing approximately five quarts of blood in an endless course to deliver oxygen to every cell of the human body. This hour tells the story of the normal heart through the histories of three people with end-stage heart failure, where a pump may be a temporary remedy, but in the long term, a transplant is almost always necessary. The three patients profiled live on the edge of life, existing in a compromised state that will inevitably need drastic intervention. Of the three individuals this hour follows, one will eventually receive the life-saving gift of a transplant; another must depend on an experimental new device to stay alive until a new heart can be found; and the third recovers with the aid of a heart pump, which lets his once-failed heart return to normal.

The past 50 years have brought enormous advances in our ability to understand the precisely timed dance that squeezes the heart muscle and pushes out blood to the lungs and the rest of the body. Dramatic new treatments have been developed to help sustain its vital rhythm and to prolong life. These treatments, in turn, have inspired new, very modern dilemmas for patients and doctors alike. Even with advances, arrhythmias lead to 300,000 cases of sudden cardiac death in America each year. In this hour, learn how the body's internal electrical system synchronizes the four chambers of the heart pushing blood throughout the entire body - once a second, 100,000 times a day, three billion times over a lifetime.

A heart attack can strike at any time and without warning. In minutes it can irreparably damage our hardest working muscle - the heart. And for many, a heart attack is the first sign of heart disease - the world's number one killer. This hour of THE MYSTERIOUS HUMAN HEART explores the causes of heart disease. How does cholesterol affect the heart? Obesity? Smoking? High blood pressure? How does stress affect the heart? Genetics? The program examines the causes behind the growing epidemic and what the world's leading scientists are doing to fight it.

Teacher's Guide to accompany the video "NASA Connect. Better Health from Space to Earth." Guide includes teaching strategies and lesson plan ideas. Video description: In Better Health From Space to Earth, students will learn about the importance of good nutrition and exercise. They will investigate what we can learn in space about our bodies here on Earth. Students will see how researchers and scientists apply the mathematics concepts of measurement and estimation to study the loss of calcium in bones and the loss of muscle mass while astronauts are living and working in space.

Teacher's Guide to accompany the video "NASA Connect. Geometry of Exploration: Eyes Over Mars." Guide includes teaching strategies and lesson plan ideas. Video description: Students examine how the principles of geometry and linear and angular measurements are used to survey and map the Earth and other planets. A surveyor explains how locations like football or soccer fields and describes the tools and techniques used.

Teacher's Guide to accompany the video "NASA Connect. Virtual Earth." Guide includes teaching strategies and lesson plan ideas. Video description: In Virtual Earth, students will be introduced to Earth system science. They will learn what a system is and how to apply the concept of systems to learn more about how the Earth functions. Students will understand the only way to really comprehend the workings of our planet is to look at the Earth as a whole system.
