Eighth graders study the cultural and architectural history of San Diego. After study they create a design of a home based of features from historical and modern homes found in their research.

Students explore information and communication technologies. They plan, organize, produce, and edit a video to show to peers. They express themselves in an activity combining music and video shot from their own surroundings.

Students identify the radius and diameter of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and area of a cylinder and circle. They relate the circumference of a circle to Pi.

Students apply the Unit Circle to solve ratios of triangles. For this geometry lesson, students derive the different ratios of a triangle using the Pythagorean Theorem. They find the angles of a unit circle using a right triangle.

In this exploring projective geometry worksheet, students use computer software for instruction, then answer 9 questions about 3D drawings.

Students investigate thermal waters and geologic provinces. They examine provided maps of geothermal springs and thermal wells in the state of Idaho and their locations relative to Idaho's geologic provinces. Afterward, they use the maps...
