A Celebration of Black Geographers & Their Accomplishments!

Geography seeks to study our planet and tell the stories of the people who inhabit it. But what stories are told? And who is chosen to tell them? Throughout history, often Black geographers were not given credit for their explorations and discoveries. This is a great lesson for geography for Black History Month.

1492: Among the crew on the Santa Maria during Christopher Columbus's voyage to the Americas is Pedro Alonzo Nino, a black man. Africans also accompany Ponce de Leon, Hernando Cortes, Francisco Pizarro, Hernando de Soto, and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado in the early 16th century and it is said they helped with the discoveries.

This lesson brings to light and gives credit to 14 Blacks who were geographical explorers throughout history. Students also have the option to choose to research a past or present geographer outside of those specific to this lesson, which gives them student autonomy and ownership of their learning..

The learner will:

• Gain a greater understanding of Black geographers / explores contributions and role in history.
• Analyze how Black explorers impacted the occupations in geography.
• Gain an understanding of how unnoticed black geographers aided in creating a passageway for following Black generations to appreciate geography.
• Understanding how the Black populations have impacted and continue to impact geography.

This lesson includes:

• Suggested videos for an introduction (Not required)
• Detailed-teacher instructions including preparation, materials needed, procedures, and game instructions.
• Group or Individual Activity
• Research guide
• Exit cards

FREE GIFT with purchase! Get our Winter Yoga Coloring Book for free with purchase*!

For many children, the first thought that comes to mind when winter approaches is “snow day!” The winter can be a time of hibernation as it is cold outside, many extracurricular activities have slowed down, and the days get darker much earlier. When children are cooped up inside, they can become restless and bored quite easily. However, the winter yoga sequence is a great way to promote physical activity and encourage movement during a restless time.

The Winter Sequence is a 13 page PDF download which you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print out onto paper. We recommend cutting out each card and taping/gluing on a 4x6 index card or card stock. For added durability, laminate each card.

• Designed for kids of all ages

• Includes printable yoga deck

• Learn 5 yoga poses

• Includes additional yoga activity instructions

• Includes mandala coloring page for relaxation

• Printable journal to reflect on your practice

• Perfect for practicing anywhere! Use this deck at home, school, park, or when traveling!

This fun, real-life 17-page activity (with complete key) lets students explore their own creativity in designing a road system between 4 towns. Students can DIY and only need an understanding of the Theorem of Pythagoras to be successful with this project.

The first real-life connection - Students will get a vivid and solid idea of what a transportation engineer does on a daily basis.

The second real-life connection - Honey bees build their honeycombs in an optimal way. Once students have come close to solving the challenge of an optimal road system, they will have come close to the design of a honey comb.

In Task 2 students will complete a crossword puzzle by answering ten questions. Answering these questions correctly will reveal some hidden letters which need to be unscrambled to reveal the second word.

In Task 3 students will sort 27 timeline task cards about famous holidays, putting them in order from the earliest date in the year to the latest. When they have finished their third word will be revealed.

Hello and welcome!

Are you math teacher and have been thrown into teaching a computer science course? Now you have NO IDEA where to start! Have you taught computer science, but want to try something else? Math and computer science are related, but are not the same!

I have your back. I've been teaching math and computer science, including APCSP, APCSA, and Data Structures for almost two decades. I also teach an introduction course. This is part of the course I made up for my intro students. I have a BS in computer science and know what students need to know.

This is part 6 of an introductory Programming in Java course. These lessons are meant to be done over a few days; the idea is to get students doing cool stuff as fast as possible. With Java, that is NOT an easy task.

Topics:

Programming in Java 6: Conditional Logic- if Statements

How to make and use an if

the else statements

the else if statement

nested if and compound logic

pseudocode and logic errors

All lessons will come with the following:

a pdf slideshow

a pacing guide with hints for teaching the section and common student
errors

an assignment, differentiated with three different levels!

an answer key in pdf form

an answer key in .java form

Depending on your style, you could go over the slides as a group, then let students play around. Or you could just give them the slides and assignment and let them go.

Let students explore and make mistakes. Let them talk to each other and discuss their approaches. Programming takes a lot of trial and error and collaboration.

Welcome to the world of programming! It's going to be a blast!
