Students review the parts of a circle, calculate the circumference and area of a circle, and create student-made tests on the geometry of circles using educational software.

Create a geometric playground. Pupils work through a performance task to demonstrate their ability to use geometric concepts to solve everyday problems. The accompanying engineering design lessons show teachers how the assessment works...

Students randomly select dimensions for three geometric shapes (square, right triangle and circle). From the graphs they compare and contrast the graphical results of each shape.

Groups simulate an orbit using a piece of string and a water balloon. Individuals spin in a circular path and calculate the balloon's velocity when the clothes pin can no longer hold onto the balloon.

Electrical current going round and round,produces a magnetic field. After a demonstration of the magnetic field surrounding an electrical wire, class members use the provided formula associated with Biot-Savart's Law to calculate the...

Fifth graders collect temperature readings over a period of time, enter the information into a spreadsheet and choose the appropriate graph to display the results.
