Explore energy concepts with Energy Ant, a student-friendly U.S. government resource. Energy Kids offers more than 100 pages covering energy basics, renewable and nonrenewable sources, electricity, energy use and conservation, environmental connections, energy history, careers, and current statistics. Students can also explore riddles, puzzles, quizzes, science fair ideas, virtual field-trip photo journals, a glossary, and other activities. Teachers will find a substantial collection of curriculum-based lesson plans organized for primary, elementary, intermediate, and secondary levels, along with a teacher guide containing extensions in science, math, language arts, performing arts, and social studies.

tag(s): conservation (98), energy (139), nuclear energy (20), science fairs (21), solar energy (36)

In the Classroom

Have students work in small groups to complete one of the site's hands-on investigations, such as solar, circuits, friction, or energy surveys, then compare their observations and evidence with the expected results. Assign students an inquiry challenge using the site's energy information and recent statistics, then have groups post claims, supporting evidence, questions, and source links on Padlet, reviewed here, for a class-wide evidence board.
 This resource requires PDF reader software like Adobe Acrobat.

The Slope-Intercept Form of a Line Gizmo helps students explore the relationship between a linear equation written in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) and its graph. By adjusting the slope and y-intercept using interactive controls, students immediately see how each value affects the line's position and steepness on the coordinate plane. The simulation encourages students to make connections between equations, tables, and graphs while developing a deeper understanding of linear functions through hands-on exploration. It is well-suited for middle school algebra, Algebra 1, and introductory high school mathematics classes.

Created by a university consortium, this site offers a wealth of graphs, charts, and data that students can use to analyze America's demographics. There are a number of prefabricated analyses available, and there is also enough data to create exercises or activities that let students explore on their own. There are a number of possibilities for social studies, math, or statistics in this one.

tag(s): census (12), demographics (13), population (51)

Turn an Earth Day cleanup into a real-world math and civic-action project with this four-part unit centered on collecting, organizing, and interpreting trash data. Students participate in a cleanup, tally the types of litter they find, combine results into class statistics, develop a survey for other classrooms or schools, analyze responses, and use their findings to recommend an action plan to reduce trash in the community. The unit emphasizes data analysis, inference, argument, and community problem-solving and includes objectives, materials, lesson outlines, standards connections, and suggestions for classrooms with either one computer or several. Some technology directions reflect the era in which the resource was created, including references to e-mail surveys, Web-page forms, modems, and saving files to disks, so teachers will likely want to update the digital workflow while preserving the core investigation.

tag(s): conservation (98), earth day (61), ecology (113), pollution (57)

In the Classroom

Have students participate in a school or neighborhood cleanup, tally each type of litter they collect, and combine the class results into categories and percentages before discussing which kinds of waste are most common. Students can work in pairs to design a short litter survey for classmates or other classes using Google Forms, reviewed here, then compare the survey responses with the cleanup data.

There's information ranging from politics, global news, business, technology - even pop culture. This would be useful in any classroom where a knowledge of the now was focused on.

tag(s): news (223), newspapers (87)

In the Classroom

Use this site as a resource for current events projects - assign students various weeks throughout the semester in which they are to be the class news reporter, keeping their peers up to date and informed. Have students research what's going on via this news site and present a small presentation at the beginning of class every day during their week. Students can either orally present, or for the technologically inclined, create a short video summarizing the same information. Have students create news briefs and share them using a tool such as SchoolTube.
