Fire in the hole! Thrill your classes as they see what it's like to fire a cannon ball. Scholars practice aiming a cannon ball by altering first the firing angle, then the velocity, and finally both simultaneously. Can they discover the...

Do you understand the science behind hitting a hockey puck to control the direction it moves? Pupils experiment by telling a hockey player how to hit the puck so it moves in a circular direction. Through manipulating the velocity and...

Why are there launch windows when traveling to outer space? Scholars explore the trajectory of traveling from one planet to another. By adjusting the departure and destination planets, as well as the launch date, they observe the ideal...

What makes a swing go back and forth like a pendulum rather than going all the way around? Scholars use the simulation to explore pendulums and how they work. They vary the weight, length of the rope, and even gravity in various trials.

How much energy in Jewels does it take to tow a car up a slope? Scholars explore different values of both kinetic and potential energy to answer that question. Through multiple levels, the difficulty increases — as does your young...

The camera flash works based on a simple circuit, but why does it require a capacitor? Scholars work through two levels of simulations related to circuits and capacitors. The pupils first use a simple circuit with a battery,...

Many scholars struggle to picture electrons traveling in a circuit but understand water going through a pipe. The simulation compares circuits to water pipes. It walks pupils through four levels of questions, allowing them to switch...

Think outside the box and use an engaging, interactive app that shows the relationship between square roots and squares using an actual square. Pupils find that moving a slider increases the side length of a square and its associated area.

Watch as your learners reach even loftier heights of understanding. Individuals use a slider to estimate the height of a person whose height is given in radical form. Rationalizing the denominator comes in handy here.

Shake up your lessons with with a radical resource. Scholars use a slider to view the Richter scale magnitude and amplitude of historical earthquakes. They use powers of 10 to compare the amplitudes of different earthquakes.

Learning about tangents doesn't have to be a slippery slope. Pupils drag a point around a unit circle to see how angle affects the slope of a line. They individually answer a set of challenge questions to come to the conclusion that...

Drawing triangles is easy, even if you have to calculate the exact length of its sides. Scholars use the Law of Cosines to find missing sides of triangles. An interactive helps them check their answers.

An identity that thieves can't steal  the tangent identity. Scholars manipulate ratios to investigate the tangent ratio and connect it to the sine and cosine ratios. An interactive that uses color coding helps with this task.

The more you know, the more you can learn. Scholars apply the double angle and half angle formulas to determine trig values based on known values. They use an interactive that provides sine and cosine values to aid calculations.

Slide the resource into your lesson plans. Young mathematicians use a slider to move a movie screen to the right position for optimal viewing. Along the way, they learn to apply the half angle formulas.

Don't lose your marbles. Scholars use an interactive to create a triangle that closes off a portion of a sidewalk with loose marbles. The Law of Sines helps them find the side measures of such a triangle.

Mixed numbers are the focus of a five-question interactive. Scholars move fraction pieces into strips and equations to find solutions. Questions challenge participants with multiple-choice, a true or false, and one discussion.

Five questions challenge scholars to add mixed numbers. A tool creates a visual model that separates whole numbers from fractions parts. Problem types include fill in the blank, true or false, and discussion.  

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Discover the science of NASCAR! Young scholars rev up their learning as they explore aerodynamic principles. Hands-on activities help learners understand concepts of friction, kinetic energy, and potential energy.

These are challenging phonics review sheets. On the first page, learners match the end sounds to the pictures and write a rhyming word for each word. For the second page, pupils choose an end sound to complete a series of incomplete...

For this integration worksheet, students transform antiderivatives and integrals by using substitution functions. They sketch graphs of two antiderivatives and describe their relationship. Students use trigonometric identities to find...

In this consonant blends worksheet, learners complete two pages of activities pertaining to the "bl" and "pl" blends. Students illustrate words with consonant blends and fill in the missing blends in words.

In this language arts instructional activity, 1st graders answer multiple choice questions about abc order, punctuation, correct sentences, and more. Students complete 25 multiple choice questions.
