Offers lesson plans that guide students to understanding the structure of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout the course of the lesson, students will be working on writing their own declaration of grievances relative to issues in their own life.

This lesson plan requires the students to examine past maps from various cultures in order to learn how the people from that time period interacted and understood their world.

Discussing real life heroes and heroines and viewing their pictures will help students learn about reading and writing biographies. A writing rubric assessment is included in this series of activities designed to teach about heroes and comparing and contrasting.

Great lesson plans for grades K-2 on the history of the alphabet. Includes guiding question, objectives, and four lessons with activities and assessments. With links to various websites containing information on alphabet history.

Lesson for teaching young historians to retell the past using timelines and oral accounts.

This classroom activity allows different boundaries for various groups of students to take a quiz. For example, some groups get more time, others may use a book or notes, etc. However, the roles of students will change just prior to the quiz, so students are forced to look for a more even or "fair" distribution of resources. This activity helps students to better understand the role of government in the distribution and protection of resources and opportunities.

Why are some countries very wealthy and others so poor? In this lesson you will learn about the factors that contribute to a nation's standard of living.

Omar helps his parents sell things at the market. Join him while he learns about the relationship of the Sun, Moon, and Earth.

Students are presented with a hypothetical scenario that delivers the unit's Grand Challenge Question: To apply an understanding of nanoparticles to treat, detect and protect against skin cancer. Towards finding a solution, they begin the research phase by investigating the first research question: What is electromagnetic energy? Students learn about the electromagnetic spectrum, ultraviolet radiation (including UVA, UVB and UVC rays), photon energy, the relationship between wave frequency and energy (c = λν), as well as about the Earth's ozone-layer protection and that nanoparticles are being used for medical applications. The lecture material also includes information on photo energy and the dual particle/wave model of light. Students complete a problem set to calculate frequency and energy.

Students learn about current electricity and necessary conditions for the existence of an electric current. Students construct a simple electric circuit and a galvanic cell to help them understand voltage, current and resistance.

It's never too soon to begin teaching basic financial concepts, such as human capital, decision-making, saving, and using credit, to young students. Ella's Adventures allow your students to follow young Ella as she learns important life lessons.

See potential energy convert to kinetic energy in this interactive activity from WGBH that shows a roller coaster in action.

Students build small-sized prototypes of mountain rescue litters rescue baskets for use in hard-to-get-to places, such as mountainous terrain to evacuate an injured person (modeled by a potato) from the backcountry. Groups design their litters within constraints: they must be stable, lightweight, low-cost, portable and quick to assemble. Students demonstrate their designs in a timed test during which they assemble the litter and transport the rescued person (potato) over a set distance.

Imagining themselves arriving at the Olympic gold medal soccer game in Beijing, students begin to think about how engineering is involved in sports. After a discussion of kinetic and potential energy, an associated hands-on activity gives students an opportunity to explore energy absorbing materials as they try to protect an egg from being crushed.
