Restitution Teacher Resources

Here's a handy worksheet applicable to any study of epic heroes, including those in epic poetry. Readers record examples from their text that identify the quest, the tests, helpers and companions, as well as the low point, the...

When punishment is given in a society when a member breaks its rules, what is it meant to accomplish? After summarizing the significant categories of punishment (rehabilitation, restitution, incapacitation, deterrence, and retribution),...

When a car crashes into a wall, does it just stop or does it bounce or roll backwards? A simulation relates velocity, kinetic energy, momentum, and restitution to answer this question. Scholars apply their knowledge through...

Students discover how the coefficient of restitution is applied to sports by measuring the bounciness of a ball. After examining the mathematical equation that applies to coefficient of restitution, students go to the gym, measure the...

Sixth graders study restorative justice. In this government activity, 6th graders discuss restorative justice, examine the ways restitution can be made when a crime occurs, and write about a conflict at home or school and describe how it...

Students investigate variables that influence the bouncing of balls.  In this exploratory lesson students observe how the manipulated and control variable are correlated by graphing the data.

Young scholars examine several primary source documents related to the Japanese internment camp at Heart Mountain, Wyoming. They write an essay about Heart Mountain and explore the concept of restitution to Japanese-Americans.

High schoolers conduct a mock Congressional Hearing to decide whether or not Japanese Americans who were sent to internment camps during World War II should be provided financial restitution. They research and create a time line of...

Young scholars study disposition and offense. They learn what types of consequences and penalties that a juvenile may receive from a judge, and how it relates to Washington State.

Do your pupils need extra practice with sentence completion? Learners will have to employ a variety of strategies to answer correctly the six multiple-choice prompts on the worksheet. A richly detailed answer/explanation key is included....

In this online interactive reading comprehension activity, students respond to 15 multiple choice questions about Shakespeare's Richard III. Students may submit their answers to be scored.

Ninth graders experiment with bouncing balls to investigate the elasticity coefficient of different sizes and types of balls. In this superball physics lesson, 9th graders bounce various types of balls from differing heights. They...

The Hellenic Ministry of Culture's site on the controversy surrounding Lord Elgin's removal of the Parthenon sculptures from 1801-1811. The Sculptures are now located in the British Museum.

Students determine the coefficient of restitution (or the elasticity) for super balls. Working in pairs, they drop balls from a meter height and determine how high they bounce. They measure, record and repeat the process to gather data...

This lesson is provided to introduce students to the geography and people of the Sahel region and to have them discover the challenges and conflicts faced by the inhabitants. They learn about desertification and what farmers are doing to...
