Two-axis rotations ... twice the fun as one-axis rotations! The last installment of a five-part module teaches scholars how to conduct two-axis rotations. They create isometric drawings before and after the rotations.

Feel like a rocket scientist for the day. Using only paper and tape, scholars create a framework for a spaceship to Mars. Each sheet of paper costs $10 million and each piece of tape costs $100,000. Make sure you stay within budget!

Eighth graders explore the Pythagorean Theorem. They use Geometer's Sketchpad and explore features of various figures. Students use the software to build a figure using the given measurements.

In this rate worksheet, students draw and label given situations, determine the rates and the relationship between them. This two-page worksheet contains 7 multi-step problems.

Sixth graders describe the defining characteristics of major world civilizations from political, social, and economic perspectives. They compare and contrast the religions in terms of leaders, beliefs and locations.
