Students use Concord Consortium's interactive activity to learn how to graph quadratic equations by identifying the vertex and x-intercepts of a parabola. Students explore how changes in a quadratic equation affect its graph and investigate the relationship between algebraic equations and graphical representations. The activity focuses on graphing parabolas, locating vertices, and identifying x-intercepts.

Students investigate diffusion using Concord Consortium's interactive simulations. Through observation and experimentation, students explore how molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration due to random motion. Students use the simulations to examine factors that affect diffusion, including concentration, temperature, molecular mass, and membrane transport.

Civic Action Project (CAP) is a project-based learning model for civics and government courses. It offers a practicum for high school students in effective and engaged citizenship and uses blended learning to engage students in civic activities both in and out of the traditional U.S. government classroom. By using Web-based technology and civics-based instruction and activities, students exercise important 21st-century skills in digital literacy, critical thinking, collaboration, self-direction, and learning to be an engaged and effective citizen in a democracy.

Students also see how the content of a government course can apply to the real world. By taking civic actions, they practice what real citizens do when they go about trying to solve a real policy-related problem. CAP fulfills best practices in service learning with an emphasis on public policy.

In this activity, students learn about the Silk Road and Ancient Trade. This video is part of a series of very fast-paced, engaging videos (found on YouTube) on various aspects of World History. Currently, there are 42 videos on World History but over 250 including other topics such as US History, Chemistry, Biology, Literature, and Ecology. They might be just the ticket to engage your high school diploma students to learn their world history.

 

 

Educators can use Mentimeter to create fun and engaging interactive lessons. In this example, a Mentimeter will be used to introduce a job hunting unit to an Intermediate Low ESL class.
