Curated OER
Food for Spaceflight
When astronauts get hungry in outer space, they can't just call and have a pizza delivered. In order to gain an appreciation for the challenges associated with space travel, young learners are given the task of selecting, testing, and...
Curated OER
Garden Variety Geometry
Learners prepare to take the GED by reviewing basic math concepts. In this geometry lesson, students review vocabularies such as formula, perimeter, circumference and other important geometric terms. They convert between the English and...
Curated OER
Functional Analysis
Students perform functional analysis. For this pre-calculus lesson, students recognize the different elements of a function, graph a function and analyze it. They synthesize composites of other basic functions.
Curated OER
Tower Power
Students explore basic building and engineering concepts by constructing a structure that supports weight. They demonstrate an understanding of basic business concepts by estimating the cost and value of a building.
Curated OER
Bridge Design and Bridge Building
Seventh graders conduct an investigation into the design of bridges and their construction. Students design bridges and draw detailed plans. For assessment they construct a model of a bridge that is made entirely of toothpicks. Students...
Curated OER
Probability and Geometry
Students explore the ways Geometry can help solve probability problems. Students describe platonic solids and practice calculating probability using an online resource. They construct dice with various numbers of sides to demonstrate...
Curated OER
A Plop and Fizz
Seventh graders perform an experiment to determine the effect of temperature on reaction rates. In this chemistry lesson plan, 7th graders take measurements and record data. They create a graph and analyze results.
Curated OER
Plane and Solid Figures
Students define a plane and a solid shape. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.
Curated OER
Topology and Geomery
Young scholars relate topology to polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students make the connection between different shapes and topologically equivalent relationships. They use Mobius strips to create and move shapes around.
