A sample of 1,014 parents of 8 to 14 year olds nationally and their kids, analyzed parent attitudes and behaviors that were associated with kids' financial habits. The survey found that positive money behaviors and expectations among kids are often associated with parents' decision to let their kids decide how to save and spend their money on their own. as well as modeling good financial habits. Conversely, troubling financial habits among kids were more frequently seen when parents have a troubling history with money.

Artifact: From Tracey Uhrich at RCHS for Outcome WA10.1 (Workplace and Apprenticeship Math 10)

Artifact Description: Students need to gather data from grocery store and make decisions on best to purchase. They must work together to put their findings into a PowerPoint to share with their peers.

Students learn more about how muscles work and how biomedical engineers can help keep the muscular system healthy. Following the engineering design process, they create their own biomedical device to aid in the recovery of a strained bicep. They discover the importance of rest to muscle recovery and that muscles (just like engineers!) work together to achieve a common goal.

Students are presented with a hypothetical scenario in which they are biomedical engineers asked to design artificial hearts. Using the engineering design process as a guide, the challenge is established and students brainstorm to list everything they might need to know about the heart in order to create a complete mechanical replacement (size, how it functions, path of blood etc.). They conduct research to learn the information and organize it through various activities. They research artificial heart models that have already been used and rate their performance in clinical trials. Finally, they analyze the data to identify the artificial heart features and properties they think work best and document their findings in essay form.

Students learn how forces are used in the creation of art. They come to understand that it is not just bridge and airplane designers who are concerned about how forces interact with objects, but artists as well. As "paper engineers," students create their own mobiles and pop-up books, and identify and use the forces (air currents, gravity, hand movement) acting upon them.

In this art history video Beth Harris and Steven Zucker discuss Paul Troost's House of (German) Art (1933-37) in relation to the Great Exhibition of German Art and the Entartete Kunst (Degenerate Art) Exhibitions of 1937 in Munich.

The House of German Art now exhibits international contemporary art in direct opposition to original National Socialist intent.

This is a fun website that leads the viewer by step by step instructions to complete the art project. There are a variety of materials they use from pencils, crayons, markers, water colors, and pastels. They draw, do origami, and use different styles to complete the projects. They also have a printable version that can be used if there is no internet access.
This site requires a membership but you can also find a lot of their older videos on YouTube.
There are free lessons available.

These interactive videos are meant to stimulate creativity and a hands-on activity at home.
