This is a remix of Animal Research by Amy Hartman.This Remix was modified for a remote learning platform. It contains the research of an animal, completion of a graphic organizer, writing an informative story/paragrpah OR creating a slide presentation.It doe include enrchment activities, as well as differentiated story frames.The attached documents & slide presentation were created on the Google platform. To upload them to this platform they had to be downloaded into Word & Powerpoint. Some changes and alterations may be necessary.

Students will research an African American person based on set questions. The students will present their person in an interview format - Guess Who.This resource has been remixed to add a digital presentation option.

This is a remix of Historical Figures Research Project / Wax Museum by Lisa VanOmmen.This remix focuses on second grade standards. It takes the learner through a series of lessons so they understand a timeline, the correct sequence of events, and how timelines are important when learning about historical figures.

In this lesson, students will be determining the central idea of a text about the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. They will also examine how quotes help to develop a central idea. Next, they will be writing an objective summary. Students will then research information from NASA about becoming an astronaut, as well as quotes that support why someone should become an astronaut. Finally, students will plan and write an argumentative essay about why someone should apply to become an astronaut using claims, evidence, and commentary. To enhance this lesson with a digital focus, instead of the traditional essay format in the origial plan, students can be given the choice of several digital mediums to present their findings. This digital foucs allows for student choice, selection and/or creation of visuals to support student thinking and arguments, and customization of content for the stuent's specific audience.

This lesson intertwines fictional writing with policy research and teamwork to engage students in an examination of these issues. The lesson uses clips from The Return - a film about people who have returned to normal life after being released from prison.

This multimedia resource, part of the NC Science Now series, describes how researchers at the UNC Coastal Studies Institute are studying how melting Antarctic glaciers will affect the Atlantic Ocean and the state"™s coastal resources. The world"™s oceans, the creatures that live within, and the climate influenced by those oceans are all connected. Components of this resource include a video and a related blog article. Links to these components are provided on the page under the heading "UNC-TV Media."

This article features children's literature about scientists and scientific research in the Arctic and in Antarctica.

This multimedia resource, part of the NC Science Now series, describes how biomedical engineers at Duke University have been able to grow living skeletal muscles in the lab that look and act like the real thing. Researchers use stem cells to grow muscle outside of a body and then transplant it into a mouse. Components of this resource include a video, a related blog article, and discussion questions. Links to these components are provided on the page under the heading "UNC-TV Media."

This multimedia resource, part of the NC Science Now series, describes how agricultural researchers at NC State University and local NC farmers have developed and implemented technologies to help strawberries bloom and produce fruit in a less than ideal climate.

This module explores modern day apathy, specifically in middle schools. This PBL challenges students to be introspective and reflect on What they value What they are concerned with What they are passionate about and then see how it can be changed.Students collaborate with oneother to discover shared ideas, research their value or issue, and develop a Public Service Announcement (PSA) to communicate what they want to improve. In a culminating activity, students participate in a gallery/exhibition to share their PSAs.Standards:CCSS English Language Arts (Grade 8) Ohio Standards for Technology

Summary: Students will receive a choice board of different activities and will have to choose one.  After choosing their activity, students can be placed into small groups to work collaboratively or can work independently. Each team/student will be presenting to either the whole class or their small group.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers."Launch, Explore, Discuss" is a research-based lesson framework where students grapple with a task and then come together to share strategies used.  The introduction of new strategies is delayed until after grappling.  This is the primary lesson framework for the Tools4Teachers lessons. This resource serves as a professional development tool, explaining the benefits of this lesson framework and outlining each component.

This multimedia resource, part of the NC Science Now series, shows how researchers at the Textile Performance and Comfort Center at NC State University test safety clothing on PyroMan, a life-size mannequin with sensors. Researchers and students test fabrics for breathability, fire retardation, and heat resistance in order to ensure the health and safety of first responders, red zone workers, and military units.
