The 6th graders study social issues and many tend to choose environmental issues. The National Science Foundation OER would provide a source of information for students to narrow their topics during the research process. It provides current, up-to-date articles surrounding issues and discoveries scientists and researchers have recently discovered about various environmental issues of concern. Students are also required to write their opinion about their topic at the end of the research unit. I feel this OER resource would help students gain critical thinking and problem-solving skills they need to write an opinion on an environmental topic.

I really like this site. I collaborate with the 5th grade teacher in my district to teach a similar lesson. This OER resource you found is something I will probably refer to in the future. Thanks!

The University of Wisconsin-Madison has jumped into the MOOC marketplace. Their new courses for fall highlight Wisconsin and the University.

I loved exploring HippoCampus. The educational video, test prep, and simulations were amazing. I am exploring the topic English, specifically "Crafting an Effective Writer" and have found this video on being a successful online learner. The videos are informative and I could see my English teacher using them and it even applies to this course right now.

I think I would start here instead of Khan Academy because this resource includes Khan Academy along with 7 other collections that focus on math.

Great resource for students needing extra support and supplemental materials. Will be shared with English teachers as the videos and outlines for essay writing are quite helpful.

What is Pressure? Very interesting simulation for students.

This arcade is a portal to games and interactive activities focused on ocean and air themes. It highlights the science and the activities of the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other agencies and organizations promoting environmental stewardship. I would use this site to supplement Science curriculum and lessons at the Elementary level. All content can be shared.
