When surveyed, 31% of potential job seekers across the state cite lack of training as an obstacle to improving their employment situation. However, many employers throughout the state are willing to upskill and train incoming workers to be proficient at their job duties.

Site provides information for job seekers, including labor market information, occupations in Nebraska, career resources, and emplyee benefits data.

In this engaging unit, students will design and plant a square-foot garden that will be their central tool. Through the growing season, they will explore nutrition content in their everyday lives and see how it relates to what they are growing.

The NOAA Sea Level Trends map illustrates U.S. regional and some international trends in sea level, with arrows representing the direction and magnitude of change. Students can investigate sea level changes around the U.S. and some worldwide using an interactive map interface with supporting data plots and tables.

This video describes why tropical ice cores are important and provide different information than polar ice cores, why getting them now is important (they are disappearing), and how scientists get them. The work of glaciologist Lonnie Thompson is featured, with a focus on his work collecting cores of ice from high mountain glaciers that contain significant data about past climate change.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Nanotechnology has enabled numerous advances in communications, medicine, energy, and agriculture. But as the proliferation of nanomaterials ramps up, unintended consequences are becoming increasingly visible. A recent study examined the effects of silver nanoparticles on soils supporting the growth of maize. Findings revealed a 30% decrease in the relative abundance of members of the archaea community, which are important for nitrogen cycling in soil, vital for plant growth. Nanosilver also increased the abundance of certain possibly phytopathogenic fungi, possibly by eliminating bacteria that normally keep these harmful fungi in check. Finally, increased root growth seems unsustainable because it is probably caused by these stress factors, and not by beneficial effects. While this study was limited to relatively small, pot experiments, the findings suggest that the microbiome is an essential inclusion for studying the long-term effects of nanomaterials on the environment..."

Access and explore large datasets from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2003). Working with large datasets that emphasize exploration, finding patterns, and modeling is an essential first step in becoming fluent with data. This activity is a great place for students to start, since the dataset is straightforward and students can decide on the data they want to explore, including height, age, weight, and many other health-related attributes. Students begin by selecting and then investigating subsets of the dataset, for example, to find the cholesterol level of U.S. citizens. Then, working with their classmates or individually, students can try their own data science challenges, such as finding health trends in a subset of Americans by their household income, age, or marital status, etc.

This is a extensive collection of maps, data, and tools that students can use to research drought and its impacts on agriculture, wildfires, water supply, vegetation, soil moisture, temperature and precipitation.

This online directory focuses on national parks throughout the country that offer educational opportunities. Where possible, it includes the following information for each: the type of support offered, including educational materials, access to a naturalist or specialists, and classes/workshops; and mailing address and contact information. In addition, a link to the National Park Service's Web site is included.

A large, color campaign poster for Grant and Colfax. Bust portraits of the two candidates are framed in ovals emblazoned with stars. Flanking them are standing allegorical figures Justice (left), blindfolded and holding scales, and Wisdom (right), wearing a helmet. At Justice's feet, near Grant's portrait, are implements of war. At Wisdom's feet are symbols of agriculture, including a sheath of wheat, a rake, and a scythe. Above, an American eagle with arrows and an olive branch alights on a pedestal from which radiate four staffs with American flags. |Entered . . . 1868 by M.B. Brown & Co. . . .

This lesson discusses the differences between common representations of Native Americans within the U.S. and a more differentiated view of historical and contemporary cultures of five American Indian tribes living in different geographical areas. Students will learn about customs and traditions such as housing, agriculture, and ceremonial dress for the Tlingit, Dinè, Lakota, Muscogee, and Iroquois peoples.

In accordance with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal #2: “Zero Hunger” which promotes sustainable agriculture, students are asked to help support the local pollinator population. Seedballs can be prepared with seeds of plants that provide food and nesting opportunities for pollinating bees, butterflies, other insects, bats, and birds. Thus, students are supporting the very beings that ensure the success of our food chain and 1 out of every 3 bites that we take. In this lesson students make seedballs and a model of a catapult for distributing the seedballs using Strawbees, a micro:bit, and the Robotic Inventions kit.

In this video segment adapted from Haskell Indian Nations University, student filmmakers explain why it is important to them to make a video about climate change.
