This was created as an assignment for one of my college courses, allowing me to practice making lessons using OER.

This is a set of supplemental materials and worksheets to go with First Year Japanese II Textbook. Source file can be requested by e-mailing Yoko.Sato@mhcc.edu.

This set goes with First Year Japanese I - JPN101 text by Yoko Sato. It includes Kana charts, Kana practice sheets, some lecture notes, drills and activities.

These assignments are intended to accompany or replace the original drills from AlKitaab part I, 3rd ed. textbook. This helps to transition students of Arabic away from the need to purchase or share an expensive textbook and companion website access and also gives the students materials and drills that develop their language skills more methodically, using principles from recent foreign language pedagogy.

Fitness Plan for Middle School students. This plan helps them identify 3 main components of a fitness plan (Cardiovasular Endurance, Strength, and Flexibility). 

To complete this assignment students need to choose a group and decide who will write each section. They should also agree on a timeframe which will allow them to complete the assignment in the time provided. One student is expected to take the lead in assembling the final document. Students are expected to edit themselves the stay within the page limit, as they will find a vast amount of information. Students may work alone or in groups of less than five, but are still required to include all the necessary information.

This exercise will not only teach students the art of flash fiction, but it will allow them to write, to work with their peers, and to publish!  The teacher will have as much fun as the students!

This is my PBL that will require students to come together to figure out different ways Northern California officials could have communicated with residents better about the evacuation notice as well as updates about the flood.

Students apply what they have learned about design to evaluate a floral arrangement based on the principles of balance, scale and proportion, harmony, dominance/focal point, rhythm, and unity, and elements of line, form, texture, color, and value.  Worksheet developed from a document by Nebraska AFNR educator Ashli Weinrich.

This group research project serves as the focus for our introductory Earth Systems Science classes. Each of four to six lab sections of 15-25 students collect discharge, sediment load, and water chemistry data from a different site along a local river, and compare their data to that collected in previous years and at other sites along the river. The project incorporates topographic map reading and graphing as well as collecting and analyzing data, and presenting the results in oral and written form. Labs on rocks and minerals use samples from the project area to encourage students to make connections between the solid Earth and surface processes.

Each component of the Florida River Project is described below, with a link to the activity sheet and related files.

Topographic Maps: Integrated Florida River project
Florida River Project: Minerals in the field
Florida River Project: Sedimentary and metamorphic rocks lab
Florida River Project: Plotting discharge data
Plotting Florida River Data Using Excel
Florida River Project: Measuring discharge, sediment, and water chemistry

The Florida River Project is a semester-long project involving (1) an individual project in which students pose a scientific question and use existing data to test their hypothesis, and (2) a group project in which students collect and present data associated with stream monitoring.

Outcomes of the individual project include:
- Practice applying the process of science
- Graphing and interpreting data
- Making an argument supported by quantitative evidence.
- Communicating a scientific argument in writing.
- Supporting a scientific argument using appropriate formats (especially graphs and tables)

Outcomes of the group project include:
- Collecting field data (discharge, sediment load, water chemistry)
- Presenting data orally.
- Discussing preliminary interpretations of data.

The course "Fluid Flow, Heat and Mass Transfer," course number ta3220, is third-year BSc course in the program of Applied Earth Sciences at Delft University of Technology. Students in this class have already taken a course in "Transport Phenomena" in the second year, and "Fluid Flow Heat and Mass Transfer" is designed as a follow-up to that class, with an emphasis on topics of importance in applied earth sciences, and in particular to Petroleum Engineering, groundwater flow and mining.
In practice, however I start over again with first principles with this class, because the initial concepts of the shell balance are difficult for students to grasp and can always use a second time through. The course covers simple fluid mechanics problems (rectilinear flow) using shell balances, for Newtonian and power-law fluids and Bingham plastics. Turbulence for Newtonian fluids is covered in the context of friction factors for flow in pipes, flow around spheres and flow in packed beds.

Fluid Mechanics problems for the WeBWorK open online homework system. Includes problems from second-year level.

The "tested" problems have been deployed in a class. The "untested" problems have been tested by the creators, but not yet deployed in a class.

These problems need to be uploaded into an instance of WeBWorK to use/assign them.

This exercise is intended to help link the observations of water and sediment
motion that student made in the laboratory flume with the theory discussed in
lecture. Students use the measurements made to ask some basic questions about what happened in the flume as the discharge was varied by a factor of two.

This exercise is intended to give student experience using field data they collected to analyze the fluvial processes that occur in Redwood Creek, and the landforms that result.

Authored by Belal Joundeya, the "Fly with Arabic" full text document is comprised of eight units, and features a variety of language-learning lessons tied together by fun themes, such as weather, sports, travel, school, and other hobbies and activities. The units focus on the acquisition of listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills, as well as knowledge of Arabic cultures and history.

Most units contain several lessons, including fill-in-the-blank exercises, open-ended writing practice, and word-matching games, that seek to reinforce specific learning outcomes, such as oral and written production, writing, and reading. Additionally, brief cultural drills are included in each unit, and are designed to add a cultural dimension to each unit's language activities. All units also contain self- assessment checklists to help monitor and measure the learner's progress during the unit.

In summary, through using a number of drills to produce vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, and speaking skills, including pictures, word-matching games, open-ended writing practice, and fill-in-the-blank exercises, the "Fly with Arabic" series seeks to connect all phases of Arabic-learning into one comprehensive package.
