Summary

With students out of school for the next several months, LPB and the Department of Education have developed dozens of academic resources for kids of all ages.

These tools are designed to help students and parents navigate the new learning landscape and ensure that students return to school ready to go next fall.

Each week, our websites and social media channels will feature a top five list of resources for students in all grade levels, plus tips for parents and educators.

This resource provides opportunities for students to use the engineering design process as well as create a model and engage in argument from evidence.

After viewing great baseball clips and animations that relate Isaac Newton's three laws of motion to baseball, students apply what they've learned about these laws to another sport or other real-life situation.

During the lesson, students complete three interactive formative online assessments-one for each law-and a summative review, in which students fill out a chart by matching descriptions to each law.

At the end of the lesson, students produce a media project that demonstrates their understanding of these fundamental physical science principles.

Lights, Camera, Budget! is an online game designed to help high school students learn, study, and review financial literacy topics while also practicing their budgeting skills.

In the game, students are positioned as movie producers who have been given $100 million to produce a movie.
