Given laboratory investigation scenarios, students will distinguish between scientific hypotheses and scientific theories.

This resource is a demonstration lesson presented at the 2014 Write for Texas Summer Institute. It provides a snapshot of a four to five week unit that engages students in the reading and writing workshop model.

This resource series is designed to enhance teachers' knowledge and skill so they can effectively teach grammar in context. Teaching grammar in context uses powerful models like sentences within mentor texts, rather than marking errors and correcting weak or wrong examples. 

The Texas Adolescent Academy Administrator Overview is designed to prepare school leaders to implement a schoolwide approach to reading intervention consistent with a response to intervention, or RtI, model. 

This resource contains the files needed for trainers responsible for training science teachers in grades 5–8 across Texas.

This resource is available to participants of the Science Academies for Grades 5–8, Part 2. The purpose of the resource is to provide participants with the training materials and documents associated with the training.

This resource links to the Write for Texas online resources and includes a short video overview.

Social Studies TEKS: Supporting Information

This resource outlines the components of research-based programs for beginning reading instruction and is for all educators who want to learn more about how to support beginning reading instruction in students of all ages. Links to videos, handouts, and sample lesson plans are included.

This resource outlines the components of vocabulary development. Links to videos, handouts, and sample lesson plans are included.

This resource outlines the components of research-based programs for reading comprehension instruction and is for all educators who want to learn more about how to support reading comprehension for students of all ages. Links to videos, handouts, and sample lesson plans are included.

In this video, we explore the difference between distance traveled (an example of a scalar) and displacement (an example of a vector), and we review some basic vector math.

In this video, we explore the difference between speed and velocity, and their relationship to distance and displacement.

In this video, we introduce the three primary kinematics equations and apply them to one-dimensional problems. The term "acceleration" is also introduced.

In this video, we analyze hypothetical experiments by graphing position, velocity, and acceleration versus time, qualitatively.

In this video, we apply the three primary kinematic equations to projectile motion problems.

In this video, the inherent (classical) relativity of velocity measurements is explored, qualitatively and quantitatively, in both one and two dimensions.

In this video, we will study the wave-like properties of light.

In this video, we will study the particle-like properties of light.

In this video, we will study the mole and its applications in chemical calculations.
