The activities are designed to meet a variety of grade specific outcomes that align with state learning standards.Lesson adaptations are suggested that incorporate inclusionary activities and meet the needs of students with disabilities.

This is a great way to get students to be creative with their own workout.  The addition of sidewalk chalk as a material to use makes it different and fun.  Students also like that this lesson is done outside.  There are so many variations of this that can be developed the possibilities are endless.  Would be a great tool if your school is in a virtual or at home learning setting.

This soccer unit from SHAPE Washington provides a ten-lesson unit plan for Soccer. The activities are designed for grades 3-5 and meet a variety of grade specific outcomes that align with state learning standards.Lesson adaptations are suggested that incorporate inclusionary activities and meet the needs of students with disabilities.

This inquiry leads students through an investigation of how human and physical features of India influenced the development of Ancient India’s culture. Students will investigate the role geography played in the development of trade, cuisine and religious beliefs. Resource created by Dee Ann Roy, Arcadia Public Schools, as part of the Nebraska ESUCC Social Studies Special Projects 2023 - Inquiry Design Model (IDM).

This course, is designed to be a descriptive and analytical overview of water organs, availability, location and flow. It will be examined in the light of problems, possibilities and policy and consider historical perspectives.

In Mechanics and Relativity, the reader is taken on a tour through time and space. Starting from the basic axioms formulated by Newton and Einstein, the theory of motion at both the everyday and the highly relativistic level is developed without the need of prior knowledge. The relevant mathematics is provided in an appendix. The text contains various worked examples and a large number of original problems to help the reader develop an intuition for the physics. Applications covered in the book span a wide range of physical phenomena, including rocket motion, spinning tennis rackets and high-energy particle collisions.

This lesson explores the concepts of personal and cultural identity and asks students to reflect on how their own sense of identity might impact their health. The lesson provides a holistic look at the different types of health people experience.  While the lesson acknowledges that discrimination based on identity is an unfortunate fact of life for many people, identity can also be used as a springboard to better health. This concept is explored in the second activity. The lesson also draws on examples from Native American culture to show how survivance and physical identity expression can support a positive experience of health.

This tchoukball unit is for middle school (grades 6, 7, 8) and meets a variety of grade specific outcomes in standards 1, 2, 4, and 5. 

This Remote Learning Plan was created by (Aaron Leibel) in collaboration with (Lori Broady) as part of the 2020 ESU-NDE Remote Learning Plan Project. Educators worked with coaches to create Remote Learning Plans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.The attached Remote Learning Plan is designed for (10th Grade) (Social Studies) students. Students will (Create a law of supply chart for a concession stand item). This Remote Learning Plan addresses the following NDE Standard: (NDE Standard)Geography 7.3.3.a Explain the impact of natural processes on human and physical environments.Economics 7.2.5.a Define the government’s role in various economic systems. It is expected that this Remote Learning Plan will take students (45 minutes) to complete.Here is the direct link to the Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1MCc6jnB8hb9NslpjmMpNIy6kMHyGDPKcnWBsnsZYRyQ/edit?usp=sharing

This lesson covers the topic of muscles. Students learn about the three different types of muscles in the human body and the effects of microgravity on muscles. Students also learn how astronauts need to exercise in order to lessen muscle atrophy in space. Students discover what types of equipment engineers design to help the astronauts exercise while in space.

Fitness activity using a deck of cards. For shorter time frame you can use only part of the deck.  Can be done as a group or individually. Can be used at all grade levels.

Overview:

On this webpage you will find OER Chemistry textbooks along with supplemental materials and a few lecture videos.
The purpose of these discipline-specific pages is to display content that might be of interest to faculty who are considering adopting open educational resources for use in their classes. This list of content is by no means exhaustive. The nature of open educational resources is very collaborative and it is in that spirit that we encourage any comments about the content featured on this page or recommendations of content that are not already listed here.

K-1st lesson designed to develop class routines and procedures while providing students the opportunity to develop locomotor skills as well as build social emotional skills.

This course is a one-term self-contained subject in quantum field theory. Concepts and basic techniques are developed through applications in elementary particle physics and condensed matter physics.

This example shows how Newton's laws of motion apply to aircraft carriers and introduces the lift equation: the amount of lift depends on the air density, the wind velocity, and the surface area of the wings. The problems stress the importance of units of measure. This resource is from PUMAS - Practical Uses of Math and Science - a collection of brief examples created by scientists and engineers showing how math and science topics taught in K-12 classes have real world applications.

This is a hands-on lab activity about the chemical composition and conductivity of water. Working in groups, learners will: conduct an experiment involving the process of electrolysis, prepare an experiment to better understand the process of ion exchange, discuss and research the "softness" and "hardness" of water, and use the periodic table to identify elements and learn their characteristics. Background information, a glossary and more is included. Materials needed for each student group include a 9-volt battery, two electrodes (e.g. copper strips, or two #2 pencils sharpened at both ends), electrical wire and glass beakers or ceramic saucers. This activity is part of the Aquarius Hands-on Laboratory Activities.

Students will create and participate in their own Tabata workout. They will evaluate their success using their heart rate.
