This content resource builds students' knowledge and conceptual understanding about plants through interactive activities, printable worksheets, and hands-on explorations. There are six investigation cases for students to complete; each case examines a different aspect of plant life, including plant structures, life cycles and reproduction, proper environmental conditions for growth, and ecological importance. Supplemental background information and a teacher's guide with suggestions for using the materials in the classroom are also provided. A Spanish version of the web site is available.

This high school teacher's guide is filled with lessons and activities that explore the educational barriers Black North Carolinians have faced throughout history, while also elevating the ways in which they tackled such barriers to form their own opportunities for learning, sometimes with white allies, and often completely on their own. The span of history this guide supplements is vast and includes the period of enslavement, Reconstruction, the Jim Crow Era, and desegregation. There are also many entry points for connecting how this history impacts our world today.

This is an introductory lesson for any unit/text on the Holocaust. Students will first gallery walk various pictures, terms, and quotes about the Holocaust to connect with any previous knowledge and engage curiosity. The second activity asks the students to watch the National Holocaust Museum's movie about the events leading to the Holocaust. Finally students look closely at a text about the events leading up to Holocaust.

Ecology is the study of the relationships between living organisms, including humans, and their physical environment; it seeks to understand the vital connections between plants and animals and the world around them. Ecology also provides information about the benefits of ecosystems and how we can use Earth’s resources in ways that leave the environment healthy for future generations. The many specialties within ecology provide us with information to better understand the world around us. This information also can help us improve our environment, manage our natural resources, and protect human health.

Students will improve their writing skills by studying these videos, the slide presentation and/ or printed exercise sheet on the importance of sentence structure. A number of videos are available under the "Free Video" section. Students will learn that writers might need to repair sentence fragments, or else combine choppy statements into compound sentences in order to improve sentence structures.

Students will complete a word map for building vocabulary by following the eight perscribed steps. Students will also increase their retention of selected vocabulary by making a personal connection to each word. In addition, students will demonstrate internalization of vocabulary by writing an original sentence using the chosen word. Finally, students will generate a journal response by reflecting to this way of learning vocabulary words.
