Scientists who are working to discover new medicines often use robots to prepare samples of cells, allowing them to test chemicals to identify those that might be used to treat diseases. Students will meet a scientist who works to identify new medicines. She created free software that ''looks'' at images of cells and determines which images show cells that have responded to the potential medicines. Students will learn about how this technology is currently enabling research to identify new antibiotics to treat tuberculosis. Students will complete hands-on activities that demonstrate how new medicines can be discovered using robots and computer software, starring the student as ''the computer.'' In the process, the students learn about experimental design, including positive and negative controls.

Middle and High School educators across Lebanon County, Pennsylvania developed lesson plans to integrate the Pennsylvania Career Education and Work Standards with the content they teach. This work was made possible through a partnership between the South Central PA Workforce Investment Board (SCPa Works) and Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13 (IU13) and was funded by a Teacher in the Workplace Grant Award from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry. This lesson plan was developed by one of the talented educators who participated in this project during the 2019-2020 school year.

Assignments matter. Task predicts performance. The rigor of a task sets students up for engagement with texts and with their peers.

Based on the cognitive demands of college-and-career-readiness standards, LDC "task templates"—a set of fill-in-the-blank assignment shells that support cognitive demands such as analysis, synthesis, comparison, and evaluation—help teachers, coaches, and curriculum designers create well aligned tasks.

These templates are used to design assignments that ask students to write in response to reading—assignments that teachers use to center and frame the type of work they do in class.
