1st or 2nd grade students will review the basic rhythms using quarter notes, eighth notes, and a quarter rest. They will clap and speak the rhythms and then perform the rhythms with their feet and unpitched instruments. 

This unit includes 10 lessons that culminate in a student created final product presentation on the factors that influence climate change through the lens of chemistry and oceanography using literacy strategies to conduct inquiry level research.

Using inquiry-based reading, student will examine an anchor text to formulate a question to guide their research and development of student driven projects. Throughout the unit, students will use a variety of texts, websites, and other resources to develop a product and presentation that exhibits their literacy and inquiry skills. Using inquiry-based reading, students will explore an anchor text and then develop their own essential and supporting questions to guide their research. Over the course of the unit, students will explore a variety of texts and grow in their knowledge of cellular organelles and in their ability to use informational text to support their inquiry and research.

Les scolioses neuromusculairesdes sont des scolioses dont l’origine est liée à un défaut de soutien du rachis par l’enveloppe musculaire. Le manque de contraintes (hypotonie) ou l’excès de contraintes asymétriques (hypertonie, spasticité asymétrique) sont à l’origine de la déformation du rachis. Les causes sont multiples : musculaires propres, neurologiques centrales, neurologiques périphériques, et ce, d’origine primitive ou secondaire. Ce chapitre s’attachera à décrire la prise en charge multidisciplinaire indispensable qui prévaut pour ces patients. La Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) a séparé les scolioses neuromusculaires en affections neurologiques, avec deux groupes qui touchent soit le motoneurone central soit le motoneurone périphérique, et affections myopathiques.

Searching as Information Literacy: Unpacking the ACRL Frame of Searching as Strategic Exploration is an OER that includes a podcast, blog and associated exercise. Three University of Ottawa librarians are interviewed on search challenges they have encountered and their proposed search strategies as it relates to the ACRL framework: Searching as Strategic Exploration.

Interview 1: Thinking Outside the Box

Interview 2: Selecting Appropriate and Relevant Search Terms

Interview 3: Rethinking the Value of Google

Created by students in ISI 6372 Information Literacy at the University of Ottawa, Winter 2020.

Students will investigate sediment and depositional environments utilizing several different research tools. They will utilize a "Sedimentator" settling tube to investigate energy influences in a depositional environment. Students will investigate hand samples of a coal suite to connect their observations to an understanding of its depositional environment. They will utilize the a USGS web site to make observations concerning Hurricane Katrina sediment transport and deposition. Students will utilize microscopes to make comparisons of different kinds of beach sand, their sources and ultimately the resultant rock types.

In this lesson, based on the documentary Through My Eyes: The Charlie Kelman Story, students learn about the history and state-of-the-art of one of the world's most commonly performed surgical procedures--eye cataract removal and replacement.

This activity introduces students to using real-time data about earthquakes to make decisions.

Experienced researchers “get” inquiry - that is, they have an ongoing internalized self-talk process that evaluates, draws connections, and creates next steps for the information-gathering process. But, they may not know that or how they do it.Along with the steps of inquiry, we need to help learners understand the metacognitive "self-talk" that guides their decisions which drive the inquiry. What researchers think is more important than what they do. So how can we help researchers recognize and utilize their metacognitive processes that guide their research? In order to prepare information-age learners, librarians need tools to teach the thinking that lies behind the inquiry.In this module, librarian candidates will learn to make the internalized reflective process overt. Candidates will create metacognitive awareness of the reflection process that accompanies inquiry. They will demonstrate understanding by creating concrete reflection scaffolding tool for emerging researchers.The skills and understandings gained from this module will help school librarians build instruction in support of CCSS.ELA-Literacy. CCRA.R.7, 9, 10.

This course is designed to acquaint students with a variety of approaches to the past used by historians writing in the twentieth century. The books we read have all made significant contributions to their respective sub-fields and have been selected to give as wide a coverage in both field and methodology as possible in one semester’s worth of reading. We examine how historians conceive of their object of study, how they use primary sources as a basis for their accounts, how they structure the narrative and analytic discussion of their topic, and what are the advantages and drawbacks of their various approaches.

This course explores photography as a disciplined way of seeing, as a research method, and as a medium of inquiry and of expressing ideas. Readings, observations, and photographs form the basis of discussions on landscape, light, significant detail, place, narrative, and how photography can inform research, design, and planning, among other issues. The class is highly recommended for students who want to employ visual methods in their thesis or dissertation.

This course explores photography as a disciplined way of seeing or investigating urban landscapes, and expressing ideas. Readings, observations, and photographs form the basis of discussions on light, detail, place, poetics, narrative, and how photography can inform design and planning.
The current version of the class website for the course can be found here: Sensing Place: Photography as Inquiry.

This activity uses simplified paleontological and stratigraphic data. Students receive instructions, basic location map, biostratigraphic range charts. Involves cutting out section data in columns, constructing a cross-section, also plotting biostratigraphic data according to time. This exercise develops understanding of the time-stratigraphic significance of graptolites, the sedimentologic and paleoecologic interpretations of environment of deposition and water depth. The activity connects to stratigraphy, sedimentology and obliquely to structural geology.

Students learn about the skeletal system, what it needs to function, how it changes as we grow, what parts make up the stystem, and what problems affect the system.  The students will then use this knowledge to create a skeleton using the material available to them in the classroom.

This project is unique because English teachers and other faculty volunteered their time over two
years to create this comprehensive and free textbook for students and instructors. This textbook is
an English teacher’s version of a love letter to our students. We love the written word and strive to
infect our students with that shared love and appreciation of language. Also, we have dedicated our
professional lives to help others reach their academic goals, and this textbook is a testament to our
ongoing commitment to help our students succeed and flourish in college and beyond.

Students will examine various primary source images and documents to develop research questions and make connections.  They will then research historical figures to learn about contributions and significance they had to the movement.  As they research, students will also learn about what individual slaves did before and after the Civil War and if emancipation changed their lives.  The students will then examine various primary source documents and record their findings on the Analyzing a Written Document worksheet.  They will then paraphrase what the document was about and explain why they believe it is important to history.

This article includes ideas for effectively teaching students with autism spectrum disorders, including the visual presentation of information and teaching social skills.

Soziale Kipp-Punkte sind eine Form des sozialen Wandels, die durch ihren nichtlinearen Verlauf zu einer schnellen Veränderung von Gesellschaftssystemen führen kann. In der Klimawandel-Debatte gewinnen sie zunehmend an Bedeutung. Die sozialen Kipp-Punkte weisen unterschiedliche zeitliche und räumliche Skalen auf, was ihre Wirkdynamiken beeinflusst.
