This activity is about the study of planetary samples. Learners will use samples of crustal material to sort, classify, and make observations about an unknown planet. From their observations, students will interpret the geologic history of their mystery planet and make inferences about past life or the potential for life on the "Mystery" planet. The lesson models scientific inquiry using the 5E instructional model and includes teacher notes and vocabulary.

En el módulo 1, la comprensión de los estudiantes de los patrones en el sistema Base Ten se extiende desde el trabajo de Grado 4 con el valor de lugar de números enteros y decimales de varios dígitos a centésimas hasta el lugar de milésimas. En el grado 5, los estudiantes profundizan su conocimiento a través de una comprensión más generalizada de las relaciones entre y entre los lugares adyacentes en la tabla de valor del lugar, por ejemplo, 1 décimo veces cualquier dígito en la tabla de valor del lugar lo mueve un valor de un lugar a la derecha. Hacia el final del módulo, los estudiantes aplican estos nuevos entendimientos, ya que razonan y realizan operaciones decimales a través del lugar de las centésimas.

English Description:
In Module 1, students’ understanding of the patterns in the base ten system are extended from Grade 4’s work with place value of multi-digit whole numbers and decimals to hundredths to the thousandths place. In Grade 5, students deepen their knowledge through a more generalized understanding of the relationships between and among adjacent places on the place value chart, e.g., 1 tenth times any digit on the place value chart moves it one place value to the right. Toward the module’s end students apply these new understandings as they reason about and perform decimal operations through the hundredths place.

Students research the structure of salt to understand the difference between molecular compounds and ionic compounds

This activity guides students through the process needfinding to identify areas of need for their creation of a technology for the "public good." Students will conduct contextual inquiry to identify the needs of their target audience.

Comments
Although this activity can be used in isolation, it is intended to be part of a series guiding students towards the creation of a front-end of a website. The series (all published as OER) consist of:

a) Needfinding
b) Personas, Scenarios and Storyboards
c) Front-end Website Design and Development
d) Accessibility Evaluation

This activity allows students to figure out how they can negatively impact wildlife without trying.

This activity is a physics lab in which students generate distance vs. time graphs for skateboarders of different masses being pulled with various values of constant force. Students develop procedures, record and graph data, and analyze the data in light of Newton's 2nd law.

This activity is a laboratory experiment where students change the force applied to a lab cart to investigate the relationship between force, mass and acceleration. They create and analyze graphs to see if Newton's second law applies to the experiment.

In the United States, the nineteenth century was a time of tremendous growth and change. The new nation experienced a shift from a farming economy to an industrial one, major westward expansion, displacement of native peoples, rapid advances in technology and transportation, and a civil war. In this lesson, works of art from the nineteenth century are paired with written documents, including literary selections, a letter, and a speech. As budding historians, students can use these primary sources from the nineteenth century to reconstruct the influence of technology, geography, economics, and politics on daily life.
In this lesson students will: Learn about daily life in the United States in the 1800s through visual art and literature; Understand some of the ways in which nineteenth-century life was affected by technology, geography, economics, and politics; Apply critical-thinking skills to consider the various choices artists and writers have made in depicting daily life around them; Make personal connections to the nineteenth century by placing themselves in the contexts of works of art and readings.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach third graders about number riddles (numbers up to 100,000).

NUTR& 101 is a nutrition course designed for science majors. It emphasizes the key nutritional concepts that students going into health care need to learn. It addresses the biochemical underlying causes of heart disease, stroke and diabetes due to lack of appropriate nutrition and exercise. It also details the digestive process, the digestion and absorption of macro and micronutrients including vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. The course also examines the role of cultural factors, biochemical signals and psychological factors such as stress in eating habits. Various diets and overall metabolism are covered in relation to their effect on health. Nutrition for special populations is also discussed.

This is an evolving resource intended to provide inspiration for instructors who use Pressbooks and Open Educational Resources for their teaching.

Open Educational Resources (OER) offer opportunities for increasing equity and access to high-quality K–12 education. Many state education agencies now have offices devoted to identifying and using OERs and other digital resources in their states. To help states, districts, teachers, and other users determine the degree of alignment of OERs to the Common Core State Standards, and to determine aspects of quality of OERs, Achieve has developed eight rubrics in collaboration with leaders from the OER community.

The OWL Testing Software serves many purposes and is useful for oral assessment as it can digitally capture the oral responses of each student. The system facilitates the rating and scoring process. OWL also allows raters to do evaluations online, record comments, and control multiple ratings. Additionally, it allows the opportunity for institutions to build assessments that are tailored to their syllabus and standards of achievements. Exams can be administered to anyone.

This is a lab experiment where students make detailed observations of a candle use them to infer the products of combustion of a candle.

This activity is used to introduce or reinforce in students the importance of differentiating between observations and interpretations and quantitative and qualitative observations during classroom experimentation or demonstrations
