This is a lesson about the Genesis mission. Learners are provided background information about the Genesis mission and the three basic types of solar wind that are being detected by the Genesis Ion Monitor (GIM) and Genesis Electron Monitor (GEM).
A Learning Plan is an instructional resource used to record students' proficiency of a standard and gives students' choice of how they will learn the content. The use of this resource also enables students to learn at their own pace. The data will inform the teacher whether or not a student needs more direct instruction. Students who master the standard may be allowed to complete enrichment activities connected to the standard or advance to a new standard.This resource was developed as part of a professional learning opportunity funded by the NCDPI Digital Learning Initiative Planning Grant.
This editable google slide can be used by students to track their assessment data and standards progression in Civic Literacy. This resource was developed as part of a professional learning opportunity funded by the NCDPI Digital Learning Initiative Planning Grant.
This google slide provides teachers and students with a chunking of the new Civic Literacy standards by unit and section. Students can change the color of each standard as they master it.This resource was developed as part of a professional learning opportunity funded by the NCDPI Digital Learning Initiative Planning Grant.
This two-page handout details the elements of an argumentative essay.
This lesson is about cleanroom technology and accompanies the Genesis mission cleanroom video, Cleanroom Technology: NASA Genesis Mission, available on the Genesis outreach Web site. Learners will understand the conditions that are necessary for the assembly of the spacecraft scientific payload. Includes a teacher's guide and students handouts. Video and audio clips are provided. This lesson 2 of 10 from the Dynamic Design: The Cleanroom module - although it can also serve as a stand-alone lesson.

The Family Letters are intended to be sent home at the beginning and middle of Cluster 2. They explain big ideas of the cluster using family-friendly language. Families can also find tips for working with their children at home, digital games, videos, and books. This file contains both English and Spanish versions of the Cluster 2 Family Letters.
This activity gives students the opportunity to look closely at the connotation in Countee Cullen's poem "Any Human to Another." There are three versions with varying levels of support.
This site takes you through the process of building a major scale, the essential building block of all key signatures and music. Audio examples of major scales are included with visual examples of how to build a scale. Very useful for beginning instrumental and vocal students.
This resource walks students through the outlining process and gives suggestions for structuring their papers.
This resource contains a large number of creative writing prompts to encourage the flow of ideas.
Learners will build an open spectrograph to calculate the angle the light is transmitted through a holographic diffraction grating. After finding the desired angles, the students will design their own spectrograph using the information learned. The activity is part of Project Spectra, a science and engineering program for middle-high school students, focusing on how light is used to explore the Solar System.
This lesson branches out into diatonic seventh chord labeling and construction. Major and minor keys are discussed, and visual and keyboard representation is given. Essential for advancing theory and composition students.
This lesson site introduces diatonic triads within a scale. Essential in intermediate and advancing theory and composition. Audio and visual examples are given.
Google Sheets platform for small groups of students to record/share their discussions as they evolve their understanding of any topic, along with a Google Slides slideshow that teaches how to use the Google Sheets Group Discussion Form while small groups of students explore/discover how to generate each next row of Pascal's Triangle.

This interactive game allows the listener to identify chords aurally. Customizable for classroom assessments and self practice. Very useful for musicians of all grade leves, vocalists or instrumentalists.
This is an activity about planetary sizes and distances. Learners will construct a scale model of the Earth, Earth’s Moon and Mars in relation to each other using balloons. They will use this model to predict distances and reflect on how scientists use models to construct explanations through the scientific process. The lesson models scientific inquiry using the 5E instructional model and includes teacher notesand vocabulary.
The “Einstein Project” is a framework that is designed to help you find a solution to an everyday problem that makes you passionate in your thinking and designing. This project is designed to make you think outside of the box as active learners and create solutions in uncommon ways, forget about failing or succeeding and take chances.
This is a lesson that applys occultations to Saturn's Moon Enceladus. Learners will establish whether Saturn’s small moon, Enceladus, has an atmosphere, whether that atmosphere is over the entire planet, and what creates Saturn’s E-ring. The activity is part of Project Spectra, a science and engineering program for middle-high school students, focusing on how light is used to explore the Solar System.
