Clock Arithmetic and Cryptography
Learners investigate modular clock arithmetic and cryptography. They perform basic operations in modular (clock) arithmetic and encode and decode messages using simple shift and affine ciphers.
Curated OER
Earthquake!
Students study causes, probability and location of earthquakes. They complete a number of activities and look at web pages to examine the characteristics of earthquakes.

Describe and Interpret Images: Folded Strata
High schoolers describe and interpret images. They make a simple sketch of an outcrop shown in a slide (or computer projection) then discuss possible interpretations.
Curated OER
Parachutes: What Affects a Parachute
Learners create a simple paper parachute. In this parachute design lesson, students examine the effects of the wind and make napkin parachutes.
Museum of Science
Linear Perspective: Painting Distance with Size
Young scholars examine a simple set up to measure the change in the apparent size of an object as it moves away from them.
Curated OER
Lucky Number
Students use data from simulations to make theoretical generalizations. They discuss possible relationships between several given events and gain understanding about their own mathematical intuition about likelihood.
Curated OER
Insect Classification
Students compare and contrast the visible structures of three insects based on photographs. They differentiate characteristics of crane flies, ants, and wasps then create a simple classification system.
Curated OER
Music
Third graders sing the Shaker tune "Simple Gifts" while identifying eighth, quarter, and half notes. They listen to Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring and recall other ballet music.
Curated OER
A Statistical Study on the Letters of the Alphabet
Students see that there are mathematical rules that can affect our use of the English language. Calculate the probability of picking any letter at random from a piece of English literature.
Curated OER
SNACK TIME
Students explore writing sequential information by composing the simple recipe of peanut buttera and jelly sandwiches.
