These sets were created and reviewed by the teachers on the DPLA's Education Advisory Committee.

With the increase of free satellite data combined with scientific algorithms and cloud computing capacity, developing affordable operational monitoring systems for irrigation management in Asia is now feasible. The use of virtual field sensors can help farmers improve irrigation management for increased water savings and better crop production. Drone measurements are used to verify the satellite images. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is currently using a mobile application called IrriWatch for irrigation scheduling on select corn, sugar beet, and potato fields in Kazakhstan.

Contains plans for two lessons that teach about rhyming words using the song "A-Hunting We Will Go." In addition to objectives and standards, this instructional plan contains links to sites used in the lessons as well as assessment and reflection activities.

In this lesson, students will learn how to make sense of conflicting viewpoints from credible sources. They will first read two articles on the same topic (ocean plastic), but with differing viewpoints on the severity of the problem. Then, using a Venn Diagram created in Adobe Spark and a set of critical thinking questions, students will analyze where the sources agree and disagree, and begin to understand why it is a normal part of the scientific method for scientists to not always agree when they do not have enough information.

Estimated time required: 2-3 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: Design Software, Laptop/Desktop, Tablet.

In this lesson, students will learn what the term “ethics” means, and then apply it to the growing field of artificial intelligence. First, students will evaluate a series of scenarios and consider the ethical dilemmas presented in each. Then, after watching two videos on the topic of artificial intelligence (the AlterEgo technology) and reading an article, students will create a persuasive presentation answering this question: “What rules should we create to make sure artificial intelligence continues to expand in an ethical manner?”

Estimated time required: 2-3 class periods.
