On-line interactive, video, and practice activities and accompanying hands-on collaborative activity are designed to teach fourth graders an overview of simple figure patterns.  

Students learn information on how to reduce it, reuse it, recycle it and enjoy it, as well as, a quiz to test their knowledge on how to be green. What does it mean to be green? "Green" is more than just a color. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment; the water, the land, and the air we breathe. Why green? Plants are green, and without them the Earth wouldn't be such a lovely home for us human beings.

This lesson will help students visualize barycenter and the relationship between the sun and the earth.  Students will use a solar system model to demonstrate barycenter and see the effects of adding other planets into the mix.

Day 1:
In this lesson, students will…
Use Bee-bots to trace the perimeter of a rectangle. They will then prove their findings with equations that match the path that they coded.

Day 2:
In this lesson, students will…
Use Bee-bots to “drive” the area of a rectangle. They will then prove their findings with equations that match the path that they coded.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach third graders about before and after problems.

This is a chart used to document student behavior to determine when the behavior is likely to occur, what might be a trigger, and which method of response works best.

This format can also be used for documentation of behaviours to best manage a classroom.

A reflection was added to discuss with the student after behavior to help develop a plan the next time they are triggered by something or someone

Susie is organizing the printing of tickets for a show. She has collected prices from several printers. Your task is to use a table and algebra to advise Susie on how to choose the best printer.

Students must design a cylindrical drink can that uses the least aluminum for a given volume of drink. (This task is very similar to Funsize Cans, but with less step-by-step guidance.)

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders about bills and coins - word problems.

In this task you will user a scatter graph to investigate a possible connection between the length and width of bird’s eggs.

 In this lesson, students will work interactively through the Hyperdoc using the story Birth of an Anthem in  their Wonders Literature Anthology. The lesson will begin with discussion about what an anthem is and how it could represent a country, place, etc while providing students with background knowledge of the Star Spangled Banner by watching the youtube link below.   As students complete both readings of Birth of an Anthem, students will work through a hyperdoc focusing on various reading skills; identifying key ideas and details, summarizing, analyzing text structure (cause and effect).  

This lesson is designed to help students prepare to read a historical novel. Students are required to complete research pertaining to the work's setting, time-period or decade. Afterwards, students use the online site and software, Prezi, to communicate and share their findings.

This assessment resource probes for student mastery of concepts associated with chemical bonding.

This lesson is remixed with at student view that can be used virtually/distance learning. In this lesson, students will listen to examples of love songs from several musical styles and historical moments. The activities are designed to explore how music and lyrics work together to express different sentiments toward love and relationships.

This remix includes a student view that can be used virtually/distance learning. The repercussions of the Great Migration are far-reaching. Today, much of the restlessness and struggle that the Blues helped to articulate in the Migration era remains central in other forms of American music, including Hip Hop. In this lesson, students look to Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf as case studies that illustrate why African Americans left the South in record numbers and how communities came together in new urban environments, often around the sound of the Blues.

This remix includes a student view that can be used in virtually/distance learning situations. In this lesson, students will investigate how Elvis' first single offers a window onto the complex race relations of 1954, and how it fits into the broader narrative of Brown v.

This lesson remix contain a unique student view that can be used for virtual/distance learning situations. Doo Wop's musical and social roots point to a long history of vocal harmony in American culture, particularly in African-American communities. Social singing provided entertainment in barbershops, bars, schools, churches, theaters, and other communal spaces. Some of the musical precedents students will consider in this lesson include the barbershop quartets that flourished from the 1890s through World War I; the Pop vocal groups such as the Mills Brothers that topped the charts in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s; and the Gospel singers who made harmonizing a spiritual practice throughout the early twentieth century.
