Three lessons comprise the NewseumEd unit module. For the first lesson, young reporters have an opportunity to craft a news story about a topic that interests them. They select a topic, research it, and write their story for a class...

Finding tests that assess global history and geography knowledge can be challenging, but here's a resource that solves the problem. Last updated in January 2018, the exams ask scholars to analyze charts, primary sources, and graphic...

Seven resources make up the Bozeman Science: Statistics and Graphing collection. The series begins with a video that introduces the concepts of hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, and degrees of freedom. The video also covers the...

The two lessons in the Latinx Rights in 1960s California unit module examine two protests: The East LA school walkouts and the California grape workers strike of 1965-66. The East LA School walkouts lesson plan looks at the importance of...

As part of a social, economic, and legal/political civil rights study, class members brainstorm a list of current civil rights issues that affect their community and then select one issue that they think they could work to change as a...

Six lessons comprise the Geometry Unit 7: Right Triangles unit module. In the first lesson, pupils review the Pythagorean Theorem and determine how to use the converse to determine whether a triangle is right, obtuse, or acute. Next,...

Similar figures are the topic of Geometry Unit 6. Each of the four resources in the unit module contains a video, teacher reference, practice packets, solutions, and corrective assignments. In the first lesson, pupils learn the...

One's knowledge of angles should measure up to expectations. Scholars watch a video to learn about angles in polygons. They first see how to partition a polygon into triangles to find the sum of the interior angle measures. They then...

The Geometry Unit 4: Triangle Congruence unit module contains five lessons—each with a video, teacher reference, practice packets, solutions, and corrective assignments. To begin, scholars review the types of triangles, then investigate...

The Geometry Unit 3: Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Unit Module contains seven lessons, each with a video, teacher reference, practice packets and solutions, and corrective assignments. In the first lesson, pupils learn eight...

The four lessons in the Geometry Unit 2 module are all about reasoning and proof. In the first lesson pupils watch a video introducing conditional statements and their related statements. Learners find out how to identify the hypothesis...

A three-lesson curriculum unit examines the history and conventions in the American literary humor of Mark Twain, George Washington Harris, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. In Lesson One, scholars read “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras...

Why do some objects sink while others float? That’s the question young engineers tackle in a unit module of two lessons and three activities. With some help from Archimedes (and his principle) and the principle of buoyancy, scholars...

Maybe young wizards shouldn’t tickle sleeping dragons; but, three lessons and two activities are sure to tickle young science wizards as they study the science and engineering behind the Harry Potter series. Through interactive, hands-on...

Seven activities make up the TeachEngineering: Earthquakes Living Lab Collection. Activities designed for grades K-8 include “Geology and the 1906 San Francisco Quake,” “Designing for Disaster,” and “The Theory of Plate Tectonics.”...

Class members use the online resources provided through the Earthquakes Living Lab to investigate why large earthquakes occur in Japan. Pairs work together to research tectonic plates and fault lines and determine whether other locations...

Using the Internet, pupils research what causes earthquakes, how scientists measure them, their locations, and their effects.

Pairs research current earthquakes to see if there are any patterns. They determine the mean, median, and mode of the earthquake data, along with the maximum and minimum. Using that information, they make earthquake predictions for a year.

Pairs use an online simulation to determine the epicenter and magnitude of an earthquake. Using actual data about the earthquake's maximum S wave amplitudes, they then determine the magnitude.

Four units make up the Vaccine Makers Project. The Human Immune System unit module, the first in the curriculum set, teaches young scientists how viruses attack and reproduce and how the immune system works to protect the body. The...

High schoolers arm themselves with information about infectious diseases and how they spread to boost disease prevention. Scholars research the causes, prevention techniques and identify high-risk groups especially vulnerable to...

The two lessons in Biomedical Research and Animals ask scholars to use various resources to research questions about animal research. Teams investigate one disease to find out how a vaccine was developed, how animals played a role in the...

Five lessons in Unit 2, Disease and Vaccination, examine the different ways the immune system protects the body from pathogens. In the first lesson, scholars develop an understanding of how the immune system and pathogens react to each...

It's virus-fighting time! The three lessons in the Human Immune system unit module teach young scientists how viruses attack and reproduce and how the immune system protects the body. Pupils first identify unfamiliar terms and tissues...
