Students use a tension-compression machine (or an alternative bone-breaking setup) to see how different bones fracture differently and with different amounts of force, depending on their body locations. Teams determine bone mass and volume, calculate bone density, and predict fracture force. Then they each test a small animal bone (chicken, turkey, cat) to failure, examining the break to analyze the fracture type. Groups conduct research about biomedical challenges, materials and repair methods, and design repair treatment plans specific to their bones and fracture types, presenting their design recommendations to the class.

This art history video discussion looks at Rosa Bonheur's "Plowing in the Nivernais (or The First Dressing)", oil on canvas, 1849 (Musee d'Orsay, Paris).

This art history video discussion looks at Rosa Bonheur "Sheep in the Highlands", 1857, oil on canvas (Wallace Collection, London). The Wallace Collection suggests that this painting is likely the result of a trip that the artist made to Scotland the previous year.

Book Adventure is an interactive reading assessment, management and rewards program. And the NEW Book Adventure is much more than just our 15,000 book quizzes! Since not all students learn the same, Book Adventure strives to be inclusive of the different student learning styles and offers a variety of alternative assessment options for those students who might not be great test takers. This online program encourages, assesses and rewards independent reading.

Students create a personalized biography for their reading buddy, and each child is the author, illustrator, and editor.

This lesson describes how small groups of students can plan meetings to discuss what they've read in a "just for fun" book club they've organized - and that they control.

The Book Cover Creator is designed to allow users to type and illustrate front book covers, front and back covers, and full dust jackets. Students can use the tool to create new covers for books that they read as well as to create covers for books they write individually or as a class.

Explore the parts of book covers and dust jackets with this online guide, designed to to allow users to review the content that appears on each portion of these artifacts.

Comic adventures

Students were encouraged to use their creativity to show their understanding and report on a book given the following three choices. All students presented their book reports and gave a book talk in front of the class.

Students write a persuasive letter to the editor of a newspaper from a selected fictional character's perspective, focusing on a specific issue or situation explored in the novel.

Students respond to a book they have read by thinking symbolically to create a business card for one of the characters.

In this alternative to the traditional book report, students respond to a play they have read by creating a resume for one of its characters.

Students must think critically to create comic strips highlighting six important scenes from a book they have read.

In this alternative to the traditional book report, students create book trailers using Microsoft Photo Story 3, a free downloadable software program for digital storytelling.

Students explore familiar literary characters, usually first encountered as adults, but whose childhood stories are only told later. Students then create childhoods for adult characters from books of their choice.

Students explore book covers of a variety of books then create a new cover for a book they have read.

Comic frames are traditionally used to illustrate a story in a short, concise format. In this lesson, students use a six-paneled comic strip frame to create a story map, summarizing a book or story that they've read. Each panel retells a particular detail or explains a literary element (such as setting or character) from the story.
