Two of the core competencies designated for The First Year Seminar Liberal Arts Math and Science (LMF 101) course are Integrative Learning and Global Learning along with oral communication. These abilities are exercised by students in the Career/Interview Presentation project. The main goal of the assignment is to promote student networking within the scientific community through interviews with an expert in the field. Also the FYS students will conduct background research about their career choices and use their findings to determine if they can be realized when interviewing a professional. The assignment is scaffolded whereby students will learn to use on-line resources to search for information about the profession and use on-line tools to material in preparation for the interview. Students will learn how to write professional emails, network and create PowerPoint slides. After the class presentation, students are asked to write a reflection in their ePortfolio on their career choice and interview experiences. The time dedicated for this project is on the order of weeks and counts for 20% (15% oral presentation and 5 % reflection) of the final grade.

Students will explore the periodic table by using clues from Mendeleev to decipher which element each room is made of. A basic understanding of the periodic table is needed including atomic number, atomic weight, periods, rows, and groups. An embedded periodic table is included to help students solve the riddles. The element's symbol is the password that unlocks each of the 12 rooms.

In this activity, students will learn the location of the following categories on the periodic table while creating their own version including a key.Categories Included:Alkali MetalsAlkaline Earth MetalsHalogensNoble GasesMetalsNonmetalsMetalloidsTransition MetalsInner Transition MetalsThe Soft Chalk Activity includes interactive checks throughout and includes information on valence electrons and determining groups and periods for elements.This activity also includes a formative assessment that students could take when they are done.  

This kit provides teachers and other educators with the materials and guidance to help fourth grade students understand the reasons that the British colonists elected to declare their independence from King George III between the years 1763-1776.

DescriptionThe lesson focuses on the causes and effects of the Great Depression. When the stock market crashed on October 29, 1929, it led to the beginning of the Great Depression that affected many businesses and Americans economically. The crash caused businesses to close and people to lose their jobs and become homeless. As the depression worsened, people became desperate for the government to assist them. President Herbert Hoover decided to implement government policies that would help improve conditions for Americans, but were they enough?

For this "Celebrating Diversity" project students are required to write a short research paper and create an oral presentation on one or two aspects of their culture. The purpose of the project is to broaden perspectives, challenge stereotypes and promote tolerance as students learn more about other cultures and religions.  This project encourages a global perspective thus preparing students to successfully compete in a diverse and increasingly global marketplace.  It also promotes greater cross-cultural understanding and collaboration within the students leading to improved retention in the classroom. And finally, I hope this project inspires our students to become  “civically responsible global citizens,” in keeping with our college mission.

The activities here work on analysis and synthesis skills. They take canonized text that are often taught at different times in the school year due to their placement in U.S. and world history and ask students to pair them together. A variety of activities and assessments are described or suggested throughout this resource to help students explore the boundaries surrounding certainty and doubt and lived experience.
