This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach third graders about subtraction: completing the subtraction sentence.

This is a video and interactive assessment activity designed to help first graders learn about subtraction word problems up to twenty.

This video and accompanying interactive assessment practice was designed to teach Two-step Subtraction (Numbers to 100) - Word Problems to first graders.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders an overview of subtraction (numbers up to 10).

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders about subtracting by counting backward with pictures.

This course features a video review and an assessment practice of subtracting by crossing out with pictures for word problems. It is aimed at first grade math students.

This awesome science video explores how engineers discover solutions to their problems by identifying the parts of the solution that fail (failure points) and using that information to design better solutions that won't fail.

This site offers several online decodable books covering different letter sounds while introducing phonetic and sight words. Reading prompts and discussion points are imbedded throughout the book, with discussion questions at the end.

This site offers activities and strategies for teaching French. Very useful for the Core French classroom. Some of the categories include:

French Musique
Increasing Oral Proficiency
Interpretive Reading
Performance-Based Grading

Students culture cells in order to find out which type of surfactant (in this case, soap) is best at removing bacteria. Groups culture cells from unwashed hands and add regular bar soap, regular liquid soap, anti-bacterial soap, dishwasher soap, and hand sanitizer to the cultures. The cultures are allowed to grow for two days and then the students assess which type of soap design did the best job of removing bacteria cells from unwashed hands. Students extend their knowledge of engineering and surfactants for different environmental applications.

In this activity, students act as environmental engineers involved with the clean up of a toxic spill. Using bioremediation as the process, students select which bacteria they will use to eat up the pollutant spilled. Students learn how engineers use bioremediation to make organism degrade harmful chemicals. Engineers must make sure bacteria have everything they need to live and degrade contaminants for bioremediation to happen. Students learn about the needs of living things by setting up an experiment with yeast. The scientific method is reinforced as students must design the experiment themselves making sure they include a control and complete parts of a formal lab report.

This task provides a familiar context allowing students to visualize multiplication of a fraction by a whole number. This task could form part of a very rich activity which includes studying soda can labels.

Students learn about providing healthcare in a global setting and the importance of wearing protective equipment when treating patients with infectious diseases like Ebola. They learn about biohazard suits, heat transfer through conduction and convection and the engineering design cycle. Student teams design, create and test (and improve) their own Ebola biohazard suit prototypes that cover one arm and hand, including a ventilation system to cool the inside of the suit.

This is a well-known Japanese recipe. A delicious mixture of beef, noodles, Chinese cabbage, spinach, and tofu, sukiyaki is easy to make.

Students are introduced to static equilibrium by learning how forces and torques are balanced in a well-designed engineering structure. A tower crane is presented as a simplified two-dimensional case. Using Popsicle sticks and hot glue, student teams design, build and test a simple tower crane model according to these principles, ending with a team competition.

"This printable is super simple (my favorite). It’s a summarizing graphic organizer with space for students to write notes about characters (“somebody”), conflict (“wanted” and “but”), rising action, climax and resolution (“so” and “then”). I’ve found that some of my students have a hard time condensing a story. They want to tell more than they need to for a summary. Encouraging them to follow this kind of statement helps limit them to only the most important ideas."
