By interacting with schools and other audiences, the educators from University Circle Interactive Cleveland bring about innovative models for teaching
and learning for schools, educators, and other audiences interested in lifelong learning. Several University Circle institutions have already developed
lessons and other collaborative video-conferencing experiences for teachers
and students. More University Circle institutions are creating presentations
and programs that will be ready for audiences in the near future.
UCIC is one of University Circle Inc.’s signature education programs that benefit students in Cleveland and beyond. Others include: Linking Education and
Discovery (LEAD) field trip program, Early Learning Initiative (ELI) literacybased pre-school program and Future Connections, a school to life summer
mentoring program for high school students.
www.ucicdl.org The UCIC portal web site’s purpose is to provide educators
with a user-friendly and searchable interface to learn about, easily locate and
register for distance learning programs and special events of interest. The
site provides basic information concerning lessons and events to the educational community, and a way to communicate with our providers to find out
more about a specific program of interest. It provides information about how
to connect with us in the distance learning environment. New programs are
announced semi-annually on the UCIC web site.
Registration and Program Fees You can visit our web site to register or visit
the web sites of our partners. Most program fees range from $100.00 $200.00 for each connection or lesson. UCIC partners can connect via

K 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
What is the difference between a regular
tessellation and a semi-pure tessellation?
Where does the term tessellation originate,
and what is the sum of angles around
one vertex in a tessellation of the plane by
polygons? Treat your class to an art-filled
math experience using museum objects and
patterned surfaces to explore different math
concepts about tessellations and polygons.
Through several hands-on activities students
learn and practice the mathematical concept
of scale. In a real-life activity they recreate
drawings from the original specifications in
the Painesville Telegraph for the first Fairport
Harbor Lighthouse of 1825. If on the graph
paper, one square equals one foot, what is
the scale of the completed drawing? Students
find out how many of their drawings must
be combined to represent the actual lighthouse tower.
Get Me to the Game on Time
This interactive 45 minute distance learning
program focuses on the economics of the
home front during war. During WWII the
Office of Price Administration enacted rationing, price ceilings, production restrictions
and recycling to limit consumer inflation.
What did this mean if you wanted to buy a

In session one, compete in teams in an
imaginary 1914 Model T Ford car rally to
get to a Cleveland Indians baseball game at
Jacobs Field. After instruction, each student
on a team maps their assigned route, measures the distance and calculates the time of
travel using the algebraic relationship of time,
speed, and distance. Team results are posted
at the start of session two. But, how long
will it take if there is a flat tire, traffic jam
or other mishap? Teams factor in a safety
margin then take their chance on a wheel
of fateful travel problems to determine the
winner. Reservations are appreciated one
month prior to the scheduled date.
Students are introduced to a mummy case,
an Islamic prayer niche, an M.C. Escher print
and other works while learning to identify
various tessellations using the viewing guide
included in the Teacher Information Packet,

Discover the ingenuity of one of the world’s
earliest civilizations through this lively series
of four videoconferences just for elementary
students:
This lesson introduces the arts, myths and
writing systems of selected Mesoamerican
cultures. Ceramic figures, objects made
from cast gold, carved limestone and jade
are used to glimpse life among the Aztec,
Teotihuacan, Maya and Olmec peoples in
centuries before European contact.
By examining American art and artifacts from
the CMA’s collection, this series promotes
discussion on America’s national character
and heritage. All lessons, developed by
teams of teachers, are accompanied by
reinforcement materials specifically designed
to foster critical thinking skills and testing
competencies. These programs may be
scheduled individually.
The Maya Popol Vuh (Council Book) relates
tales of the Hero Twins who make the world
safe for the arrival of human beings. During
this lesson students explore this creation
myth and other aspects of the Maya culture
by examining artifacts from The Cleveland
Museum of Art. On-camera interactivities
include filling out a viewing guide with personal interpretations of Maya mythology and
beginning to write a story based on a princely
scene from an ancient pottery vessel. Related discussion involves Maya hieroglyphs,
notions of royalty, the sacred ball game
and the natural resources of Mesoamerica.
The teacher information packet which
accompanies this lesson contains teaching
extensions which promote such language
arts skills as composing a narrative and
developing characters.
The adventures of
Rama and Hanuman
in the Indian epic,
the Ramayana, are
just a few of the
fascinating stories of
Hindu and Buddhist
gods and heroes
covered in this
introduction to the
history and culture of India. Students are also
introduced to the incarnation of the Hindu
god Vishnu as the man-lion Narasimha and
the Buddha of Compassion, Avalokiteshvara,
through works of art in the Museum’s
collection. A viewing guide assists students
in analyzing the information presented.
Japanese art encompasses aesthetics ranging from earthy and subtle to colorful and
luxurious. In this lesson students will be
introduced to works in a variety of media
including ceramics used in the tea ceremony,
enamelware and folding screens made from
paper and wood. Discussion focuses not
only on the formal qualities of these works,
but also on their practical uses. Critical
thinking is encouraged through analysis of
the work of art as an indicator of Japanese
social values and tastes.

Learn how to decipher some of the “sacred
writing” of Egypt in this fascinating look at
a 4,000+ year old writing system. Teaching
extensions to the lesson provide instruction
for writing like a scribe, and creating a
personalized cartouche.
3. Mummies
Find out how the Egyptian desire
for an eternal afterlife contributed
to the ritual of mummification.
Watch a real mummy being
examined with the latest
scientific equipment. Time
permitting; students will have
the opportunity to plan an
Egyptian funeral procession.
4. Animals
Why were so many Egyptian
gods part human - part
animal? This lesson explores
how ancient Egyptians
observed animal behavior and
ascribed animal characteristics
to their gods. Students participate in a game to help them
classify and link animals with
their natural environment.
