401(k)s (and how they compare to IRAs). Created by Sal Khan.
On Triton, Neptune's largest moon, seasons last an average of 40 years, complete with nitrogen snow. Here's how Triton's summer solstice compares to Earth's.

Coders will solve four different maze challenges that focus on a combination of vertical and horizontal movement, then create their own unique mazes that peers will solve. The purpose of this project is to reinforce understanding of predicting and sequencing a sprite’s movement using the motion blocks.
Contains blank organizer and student samples.
Poster showing a heroic military statuary group, beneath flags and the legend, "United for liberty." Cigars United.
Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create an interactive story about giving a gift to an alien visiting Earth. The purpose of this project is to reinforce understanding of message blocks.
Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to animate a mini research project about creatures that fly. The purpose of this project is to reinforce the concept of parallelism by simultaneously triggering two or more algorithms that simulate flight.
Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create a mult-ipage story with a moral. The purpose of this project is to apply previously learned concepts in a new context. Although the example project is about lessons learned while playing tag, this project can be adapted to any story with a moral.
An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the properties of a 45-45-90 isosceles right triangle. The applet shows a right triangle that can be resized by dragging any vertex. As it is dragged, the remaining vertices change so that the triangle's angles remain 45 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees The text on the page points out that the sides of a 45-45-90 triangle are always in the ratio of 1 : 2 : root 2 Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.
These are recordings for grades 4-5 for listening comprehension. They were developed by ELPA and correlate with the ELP standards.
Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create a story about a wizard who either helps people or plays pranks on them. The purpose of this project is to reinforce understanding of message blocks to give the appearance of switching costumes.
This two-part lesson on 'The Amazing Adaptations of Earth’s Organisms' that aligns with Texas Essential Knowledge & Skills Standards for 4-5th Grade Science and Art. It includes a first lesson where students read a scientific article from Frontiers for Young Minds, then work in expert teams to summarize the article using the jigsaw strategy. Then, in a second lesson, students learn about earth's biomes and a broader range of adaptations of organisms to various environmental challenges, then draw and describe their own organism with "superpower adaptations".
Now it's time for a really meaty problem! How can we count the number of possible casts when given a large set of robots to choose from?
