Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy: Accessibility Awareness [Pdf]
Micro-Module covering relevant information on Accessibility Awareness and Section 508, the American Disabilities Act for the Internet. The thorough and informative article addresses applications of Section 508, WC3, website compliance,...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Chemical Reactions
This web-based activity gives students an opportunity to write chemical reactions, balance chemical equations, and explain what is happening during a given chemical reaction. Also addressed is the effects of concentration and temperature...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Atomic Structure
Introduces learners to atomic models of the past and present, focusing on the orbital model and an explanation of its basis. Learners then have the opportunity to "make an atom" and contrast it with an ion, followed by an isotope. The...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Atoms and Energy
Online activity walks learner through exploration of kinetic and potential energy using animations. Through graphs, a quantitative connection is made between the movement and the energy involved. This information is then related to the...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Cellular Respiration
Web-based activity provides an opportunity for students to study cellular respiration in an up-close and personal way. By following atoms and molecules through an interactive animation, they will be able to see the changes that take...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Chemical Bonds
By working through this web-based activity, students differentiate between ionic, non-polar covalent, and polar covalent bonds. Specifically, distinctions are made between bonding types based on orbital shapes and electronegativity...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Beginning Clouds Unit
Explore how clouds are formed with the computer-based model in these interactive activities. Also learn about clouds part in the water cycle. Activity includes pre- and post-tests which can be saved and graded by the teacher.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Molecular Geometry
Students work through animated models showing the effects that electron repulsions have on the shape of a molecule in this web-based activity. In addition, shared and unshared electron pairs are demonstrated to define a molecule's shape....
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Phase Changes
This activity reviews of states of matter, then relates them to atomic movement as it is affected by attractions between atoms and the addition of energy. Latent heat and evaporative cooling are also topics covered. Multiple-choice and...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Solubility
Learners can use this web-based activity to study solutions, as far as the intermolecular attractive forces that allow or do not allow a solvent to dissolve in a solute. Also discussed includes the solubility rule "like dissolves like"...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Spectroscopy
Web-based activity walks learners through the use of spectroscopy in determining the identity of atoms and molecules by defining the excited state of atoms, the frequencies of emitted photons, and atoms' ability to absorb them....

Fcat Express: Story Mapping
Site provides extensive assistance in preparing 4th grade students for Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. This section focuses on story mapping, which helps students put events of a story in sequential order.
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Making a T Interval for Paired Data
In some studies, we make two observations on the same individual. For instance, we might look at each student's pre-test and post-test scores in a course. In other studies, we might make an observation on each of two similar individuals.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Photosynthesis
This activity introduces the concept of plant color being determined by pigments, which interactive with light. The idea that chlorophyll is used by plants for energy is then discussed, along with the first step of the photosynthetic...
