Latitude and Longitude
Pupils identify latitude, longitude, prime meridian, international date line, and equator. They compute the latitude and longitude of different objects.
Curated OER
Watch It Slide!
Students work together to examine inclined planes. They create a plan to raise rocks to build pyramids. They discover the changes that occur when the angle is increased or decreased.
Curated OER
Origami Frogs
Ninth graders explore a variety of geometry and science concept while making an origami frog. The fold paper into the shape of a frog and conduct measurement activities including frog leaps.
