In this assignment, students will evaluate the case of Henry Molaison, also known as H.M., who had his hippocampi removed, resulting in significant memory impairment. After viewing an informative TED Talk on this subject matter and completing a worksheet, students will gain more insight into H.M.’s pattern of impairment and the distinctions in memory systems. The completed worksheet will then be uploaded for submission, or submitted in class. 

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. As a part of these lessons students will be encouraged to consider the intent and impact of media documents from a variety of points of view including those of the colonists, King George, patriots, loyalists, slaves and Native Americans.

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. 

Within this collection you will find lessons, videos, handouts, and teacher guides you can use in your classroom.  You will also find a brief summary of each resource with the source sited for further exploration, appropriate grade level, approximate lesson length, and learning standards.
