Students learn about psychology, beginning with a brief history of psychologists and their experimental methods. They then examine psychological concepts, such as personality theories, human development, and consciousness, including sleep, dreams, and psychoactive substances. Students also investigate social psychology and psychological disorders. They demonstrate their understanding by completing projects in which they play roles like teacher, parent, and psychologist.
Students perform and create rhythmic patterns using their bodies.
This is a project that generally follows the PBL framework that can be used to help students master the concept of qudratics in their study of intermediate algebra. Specifically, it was designed to help students master the concept of quadratic functions, equations, and inequalities, including the parts of both standard & vertex equations, as well as how to identify the domain & range of a quadratic function; how to apply quadratics as the square of binomials; how to make decisions about a specific quadratic problem or application relative to the significance of the vertex and roots; and how to transform a quadratic by manipulating its parent equation. Note that the project was designed and delivered per the North Carolina Math 2 curriculum and it can be customized to meet your own specific curriculum needs and resources.
A short quiz on CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.9-10.5, featuring quotes from Margaret Atwood's book, The Robber Bride; Harper Lee's book, To Kill a Mockingbird; Leo Tolstoi's short story, "The Confessed Crime"; Anne Sexton's poem, "The Starry Night"; and, the TV Show, "Ben 10: Alien Force".

A set of lessons that introduces the concepts of radiometric dating through lab, mini-lesson, and practice.
This activity was created to assist students in identifying various locations in the library by reading library call numbers. Understanding is demonstrated by investing the library organization and creation of their own riddle search with answer key utilizing Google Doc or Sheets.
In this lesson, students analyze primary sources in an effort to answer the central historical question: Why did Teddy Roosevelt oppose the segregation of San FranciscoŰŞs public schools? The teacher first informs students of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the resultant attempted segregation of Japanese students. Students then read 4 source documentsŰÓletters and public speechesŰÓin which President Roosevelt discusses his reasons for opposing the law, as well as a political cartoon addressing the issue. For each, students answer questions on a graphic organizer: Why do you think TR opposed the issue? What can you infer about the U.S. in 1906? Finally, the class goes over a timeline of relevant events, enabling the teacher to show how reading contextually lets students learn historical context from documents. Students then respond in writing, using all evidence to reach a conclusion of their own.
In this lesson, students investigate and answer the central historical question: What caused the Salem Witch Crisis of 1692? After brainstorming and learning some background context for the witch trials, pairs of students read and answer sourcing questions for 2 primary sources: a Cotten Mather speech and the testimony of Abigail Hobbs, a teenager accused of witchcraft. After they draw preliminary conclusions, students are then given 2 more documentsŰÓa chart and a mapŰÓwhich ground the witch trials in an economic and geographic context. Students ultimately draw on all 4 documents to explain the witch trialsŰŞ cause in writing, and then share their conclusions with the class.
This is a lesson to reinforce reading one syllable words. Teacher shares a video to review short vowel sounds, models making words using letter tiles and reading the words. The students practice making words using an app and are assessed within their digital portfolio.
This activity will help students to connect the numeral (symbol) to the number (quantity in a set).
This activity is an investigation where students experiment with reflection using plane mirrors.
