This chemistry activity was created to enhance student learning around determining the molarity of solutions. It guides students through Phet simulations and then asks comprehension questions thereafter.
This chemistry activity was created to enhance student learning about molecular structure. It guides students through Phet simulations and then asks comprehension questions thereafter.
This article profiles Gerrit Vyn and Martha Fischer, sound recordists with the Macaulay Library, Cornell University, and their expedition to Nunavut, Canada, to record male sanderling vocalizations.
This collection of links to museum collections, societies, and general paleontological resources put together by the University of California Museum of Paleontology (UCMP) is one of the most comprehensive available. Users are guided to a variety of different areas, or can choose to view the rest of the UCMP website, which is also extensive.
This chemistry activity was created to enhance student learning about periodic trends. The activity utilizes a dynamic visualization tool for the periodic table and elements enabling exploration of trends based on atomic size, ionization energy, covalent radius, and many more.
This activity can be used after reading Chapter 5 of The Great Gatsby. Listening and watching the video for Lana Del Rey's song, and title track for the film, students will dig deep into the lyrics of the song identifying figurative language, draw connections between the lyrics of the song and direct quotes from the text, and have meaningful discussion about point-of-view and symbolism in the video. Guaranteed to engage students and make valuable text to text connections!
This is an opening activity to introduce students to group work
Here are a few ideas for small group projects
This chemistry activity was created to enhance student learning around solutions. It guides students through Phet simulations and then asks comprehension questions thereafter.
This evaluation should be completed by students AFTER they have completed a group project. This will help them remember the various roles people play in groups, and it will help them learn to think critically as they must justify their answers.
This evaluation will help students actually "see" how they worked together (as a team instead of just a group) or not!
Here are some tips to ensure successful small group work in your classroom!
Students will complete a series of tasks to build skills in preparation of writing a descritpive/narrative essay.
