Start a chain reaction, or introduce non-radioactive isotopes to prevent one. Control energy production in a nuclear reactor! (Previously part of the Nuclear Physics simulation - now there are separate Alpha Decay and Nuclear Fission sims.)

Students use Library of Congress primary sources to understand the genuine experience of oral history in order to appreciate the process of historiography using the topic of immigration.

This is a fun way for students to create complex math problems thinking about Order of Operations. 

The purpose of the lesson is to provide an orientation for new staff to Indianola Middle School led by both of the building instructional coaches.

In this blended/flipped activity students will be using the "Connect, Extend & Challenge" thinking prompt along with a discussion thread on our LMS, to make connections between what they have already learned and to identify their new learning after going over other Spanish verbs that conjugate like the verb "gustar".  (ACTFL Standards:  Connections - 3.2 & Comparisons - 4.1)

This lesson was created to use for staff professional development related to Google Drive & Docs.

Students will review the parts of speech by following the instructions for this activity.  Students will also learn from each other as they view and listen to what others have created.

Play with one or two pendulums and discover how the period of a simple pendulum depends on the length of the string, the mass of the pendulum bob, and the amplitude of the swing. It's easy to measure the period using the photogate timer. You can vary friction and the strength of gravity. Use the pendulum to find the value of g on planet X. Notice the anharmonic behavior at large amplitude.

Personal Finance by Rachel Siegel and Carol Yacht is a comprehensive Personal Finance text which includes a wide range of pedagogical aids to keep students engaged and instructors on track.

This book is arranged by learning objectives. The headings, summaries, reviews, and problems all link together via the learning objectives. This helps instructors to teach what they want, and to assign the problems that correspond to the learning objectives covered in class.

Personal Finance includes personal finance planning problems with links to solutions, and personal application exercises, with links to their associated worksheet(s) or spreadsheet(s). In addition, the text boasts a large number of links to videos, podcasts, experts' tips or blogs, and magazine articles to illustrate the practical applications for concepts covered in the text.

Students will use a music application to create a personal song. Song should have multiple tracks, instruments and between 2-4 minutes long.

A rubric in student language written for middle school students to self-assess their persuasive writing.

The Persuasion Map is an interactive graphic organizer that enables students to map out their arguments for a persuasive essay or debate.

This interactive Flash animation allows students to explore size estimation in one, two and three dimensions. Multiple levels of difficulty allow for progressive skill improvement. In the simplest level, users estimate the number of small line segments that can fit into a larger line segment. Intermediate and advanced levels offer feature games that explore area of rectangles and circles, and volume of spheres and cubes. Related lesson plans and student guides are available for middle school and high school classroom instruction. Editor's Note: When the linear dimensions of an object change by some factor, its area and volume change disproportionately: area in proportion to the square of the factor and volume in proportion to its cube. This concept is the subject of entrenched misconception among many adults. This game-like simulation allows kids to use spatial reasoning, rather than formulas, to construct geometric sense of area and volume. This is part of a larger collection developed by the Physics Education Technology project (PhET).

SoftChalk lesson geared toward 3rd grade learners on the phases of the moon. Lesson developes student understanding of the relationship between the sun, earth, and the moon, and how together they cause the phenomena of the phases of the moon.

This activity will help the students to understand the adjustment layer in Photoshop
