Build a train by dragging shapes into a rectangle. Choose your level from easy (outline of shapes given) to hard (no outline of shapes).

The revolution of the Moon around the Earth causes the Moon to appear to change shape in the sky. These apparently different shapes are called "phases" of the Moon. The Moon passes through a cycle of eight phases which repeats itself...

This is a great math writing assignment. First, students learn about the patterns and shapes of polynomial equations and their inverses by making their bodies imitate mathematical concepts, using popular disco & 80's dance moves....

Colin Powell served two combat tours in the Vietnam conflict and earned three medals for his service. Although Powell broke his ankle in a helicopter crash, he rushed back into the wreckage again and again to save the lives of Gettys,...
