Interested in earning money this summer to develop a new unit that will be shared with a global audience? For our Summer of Content initiative, Curriki is soliciting elementary and middle school content in ELA, math, science, and social studies. The content we're seeking will consist of a full unit of study and will be delivered as open source (including editable formats and publication under the Curriki License) so they may be used and developed further by a broad community. Apply by April 15th, 2009.

They create their own listening map (a visual description of what's happening in the music) using graphics. Children's Engineering: Stability in Design - This unit is a wonderful introduction for upper elementary students to the world of engineering. Students will move from the construction of a spaghetti cantilever, to a paper skyscraper, to a crash test wall and finally build and test earthquake-proof houses. The materials needed are simple and inexpensive. Grade 8 Mathematics - A member has gathered several resources shared by other Curriki members and organized them into a collection to use when teaching 8th grade math. The topics vary from multiplication practice -- using an animation -- to a full unit on geometric relations. AP History: The Great Depression - High school students studying U.S. history can use these tutorials to learn more about the Great Depression, or they can browse through the table of contents for this course for topics about post-Civil War America. ________________________________ Connect with Curriki Do you follow a blog?
