This is one possible method for using the area model for division.

With this division strategy, students divide by breaking the dividend into its expanded form. Then, students use familiar multiplication facts to divide. It is suggested that this would be the first of three strategies for division (preceding partial quotients and the standard algorithm.

In this video, a student explains how to use the area model for multiplication. The area model is a multiplication strategy based on decomposing numbers basedon place value.

This game board is a supplemental resource to be used with the lesson "Astrobiobound!" In this fun, interactive card simulation, students experience the fundamentals of the engineering design process, with a hands-on, critical-thinking, authentic approach. Using collaboration and problem-solving skills, they develop a mission to search for life in the Solar System that meets constraints (budget, mass, power) and criteria (significant science return).

This handout provides the game cards and is a supplemental resource to be used with the lesson "Astrobiobound!"

This informational text explore adaptations that allow penguins, whales, walruses, seals, and fish to live in the cold water of the Arctic and Southern Oceans. The text is at a reading level appropriate for second through third grade. This version is a full-color pdf file that can be printed, cut, and folded to form a book. Each book contains color photographs and illustrations.

This resource includes a page of images for each cloud type and four simple hands-on activities. In "Heat Up, Rise Up," students will create a basic thermometer from a straw and investigate the temperature differences as air expands and contracts. In "Rise Above It All," students will model cloud formation by observing how hot water/air rises through cold water/air. In "How Wet is the Air?" students will explore relative humidity. In "How Cold is Enough?" students will continue to investigate cloud formation by inducing condensation on a container of water.

Part of NCSSM CORE collection: This animation shows how the volume of a gas changes with the number of moles of gas at constant temperature and pressure.

This illustration shows a close-up of a section of the band of stability and shows the types of decay a radioactive isotope might undergo to become stable.

This diagram shows the relationship between the nuclear binding energy of an isotope and its atomic mass.

This content resource provides the user with a visual representation of enzyme-substrate interactions resulting in a specific product. This is not a complete lesson, but would be beneficial for students as a review prior to an assessment or for teachers as a quick refresher on enzyme-substrate interactions.

Birth of a Colony explores the history of North Carolina from the time of European exploration through the Tuscarora War. Presented in five acts, the video combines primary sources and expert commentary to bring this period of our history to life. Act II of Birth of a Colony focuses on the Spanish exploration and exploitation of the New World and the attempt to find a new route to Zacatecas. Vast wealth from silver enabled Spain to finance more exploration and expand its empire. In an effort to defend Spanish trade and protect Spain?s investment in the mines, King Philip II launched an attempt to establish a colony in North America. This teacher's guide contains 2 SS lessons plans: Finding a Lost Spanish Fort; Mapping Juan Pardo. Additional suggested resources are also included.

Birth of a Colony explores the history of North Carolina from the time of European exploration through the Tuscarora War. Presented in five acts, the video combines primary sources and expert commentary to bring this period of our history to life. The final segment of Birth of a Colony discusses the Tuscarora War, the Barnwell Expedition, and the Moore Expedition. ELA extension activities included: writing letters, diary entries, oral histories. The Birth of a Colony video can be accessed at the following link: http://video.unctv.org/video/2149619983/

This lithograph shows the break-off of a large iceberg from the Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica. This event occurred between November 4th and 12th, 2001, and provides powerful evidence of rapid changes underway in this area of Antarctica. The images were acquired by the MISR instrument onboard NASA's Terra spacecraft.

These porcelains from the collections of the Freer Gallery are part of a 1,500-year-old tradition of making porcelains in Jingdezhen, China. Porcelain production during the Kangxi period (1662–1722) expanded China’s export trade with Europe, sparked the Chinamania craze in the nineteenth century, and bolstered the East-West exchange that endures to this day.

The Smithsonian 3D Program is a small group of technologists working within the Smithsonian Institution's Digitization Program Office. We focus on developing solutions to further the Smithsonian's mission of “the increase and diffusion of knowledge” through the use of three-dimensional scanning technology, analysis tools, and our distribution platform.

This work is already transforming core functions of our museums. Researchers in the field can now come back not only with specimens, but also 3D data documenting entire sites. Curators and educators are using 3D data as the basis for telling stories and sending students on quests of discovery. Conservators are using 3D data to track the condition of a collection item over time using 3D deviation analysis tools, showing exactly what changes have occurred to an object.

If you build it carefully, this crazy contraption demonstrates one of the basic laws of nature.

In this German-language website, students can see what Burger King products are sold in Germany and learn their names in German. Products are pictured and described in detail.

This resource is a colorful inforgraphic stating the facts about the earth's resources and what is needed of it to feed the population in the future.
