 This resource will provide college students with the skills necessary to find academic articles in support of a research writing assignment.This resource is written for a college level reader. The exercises are intended to be accomplished by using your college or university library website and the research resources on it.  While this resource can be accomplished independently, it has been written to serve as instruction within a research methods course and assumes that students have an actual research project to which they can apply these strategies.

Life in the City is a speaking lesson designed for beginner students. It uses photos to prompt discussion about where they live, work, study, and have fun.

This content was created as a lab manual to accompany the fully online lab associated with Life Science in a Changing Climate, a non-majors biology course. It contains mainly original content with some figures and images taken from open-resources. Each figure is attributed with the source page in the figure description, in accordance to each respective license. The content covers background information, the setup to the online lab activity, and a climate connection.

Using three images from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission, students measure and analyze infrared light from objects to identify Brown Dwarfs and Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs). The lesson includes a teacher’s guide, student worksheet and PowerPoint presentation (which contains the three images to be analyzed).

In this unit students investigate the cause of sunburns, the function of sunscreen, and the ways in which chemists determine the molecular structure of matter by applying relationships about how light interacts with matter on an atomic or molecular level. 

In this resource, students will be asked to use a graphic organizer in order to identify and track the development of theme and character in a literary text. Students will use evidence from the text to construct an evidence based response.

Los ecosistemas son sistemas complejos en los que se presentan diversas relaciones entre sus componentes bióticos y abióticos. Debido a estas relaciones los ecosistemas no permanecen iguales, cambian con el tiempo por factores como el desarrollo natural de las sucesiones ecológicas y la actividad humana.

Esse produto educacional foi desenvolvido com intuito de elaborar um manual de como construir uma horta sustentável no espaço escolar, contendo a instalação de um sistema de captação de água da chuva e a implantação de uma composteira no solo. A base para a feitura desse produto ancora-se em uma experiência de pesquisa-ação edificada com o desenvolvimento de uma horta orgânica na Escola Municipal Nilza de Oliveira Pipino que, por sua vez, ajudou na confecção dessa proposta de como construir uma horta sustentável para a comunidade escolar sem a utilização de agrotóxicos e adubos químicos. Além disso, busca-se estimular uma alimentação saudável e orgânica para os alunos na merenda escolar. Segundo Lima (2014), o consumo de alimento orgânico no ambiente escolar propicia ao aluno a garantia de uma alimentação saudável, ofertando assim, inúmeros benefícios a saúde. Dessa maneira, a importância em desenvolver o produto educacional voltado para a construção de hortas escolares, dinamizando dessa maneira, desafios possíveis que a escola ou as demais entidades interessadas possam encontrar no processo de implantação de uma horta e na manutenção da mesma em todas as etapas de seu desenvolvimento. De acordo com Gonçalves, Malheiros e Campos (2013), a construção de hortas orgânicas na escola incentiva os professores a trabalharem com diversas temáticas e, ao mesmo tempo, estimula o aluno a uma alimentação saudável. Por fim, observa-se que este produto educacional foi estruturado basicamente com o planejamento de doze etapas; partindo da escolha do local do terreno na escola até o processo de desenvolvimento das hortaliças.
