Why did Mr. Ohm marry Mrs. Ohm? He couldn't resistor. An electrifying simulation allows scholars to control both voltage and resistance in order to see the current change. The formula is displayed and as you increase one variable, it...

Friction leads to movement, heat, and melting on such a small scale most people don't notice. A short simulation permits scholars to observe the reaction between atoms as they move together.  The simulation applies the concept of...

Are the Arctic ice caps really melting out of existence? Junior climatologists examine the statistics of ice decline through four math-based lessons. Each activity incorporates data, climate information, and environmental impact into an...

Students explore how dance can be infused with mathematics. In this art and mathematics lesson, students recognize how the ABA dance form is similar to a math number sentence. Students create a dance choosing dance words to represent...

Young math whizzes role play a doctor operating on a patient without diagnosing the patient's condition. They relate this medical malpractice to performing a mathematical operation before evaluating conditions or deciding what the...

Students practice solving algebra equations utilizing model tiles.  In this algebra lesson plan, students observe a clip from the movie Homeward Bound and break the action down into an algebraic equation.  Students solve an...

Japan is one of only a handful of countries that constructs buildings that are almost earthquake proof. The 13th activity in the 20-part series challenges scholars to build structures to test against earthquakes. With limited materials...

Students write and solve equations converting between metric and standard measurement as they travel southeast on the Al-Can Highway.

Ninth graders investigate the functional relationship of different environmental phenomena. In this math instructional activity, 9th graders create models of various natural disasters. They use logarithmic and exponential functions to...

Learners explore number sense by solving consumer math problems. In this pattern identification instructional activity, students analyze a list of numerical and geometric patterns while predicting the future outcome. Learners utilize...

Students work with patterns to develop formulas that will help them determine total cost. In this patterning lesson, students watch a video about an NBA trainer. (not included) They work in groups to access the assigned Internet websites...

Students distinguish between the light and heavy chain sections. In this biology lesson, students simulate the DNA splicing process. They calculate antibody diversity using the information given.

Pupils create an experiment about ozone levels using a Smog City Simulation on the Internet. They complete a worksheet and study associated vocabulary.

Students explore functions, function rules, and data tables. They explore terms of linear functions. Students use computers to analyze the functions. Students write short sentences to explain data tables and simple algebraic expressions.

Students solve problems and answer questions about two young men attemtping to earn money by cutting cords of wood.
