In this Drake Equation activity, students read about how scientists can estimate the number of intelligent civilizations that may exist in our galaxy. Students answer 7 questions about the Drake Equation and they use the internet to find...

Students use the Drake Equation to calculate the probability of sustaining life on various planets. Through the use of the equation, they determine whether intelligent and advanced civilizations can be developed on planets other than...

Young scholars complete a WebQuest where they research the Internet for extraterrestrial intelligence. In this extraterrestrial lesson plan, students also explore how the Drake Equation can predict the occurrence of life elsewhere.

Students estimate the number of civilizations in the galaxy by first estimating the number of craters on the Moon and then by performing estimates of multiple-variable systems culminating in the use of the Drake Equation.

Middle and high schoolers solve four word problems based on three different graphs of ordered pairs which show the amount of money spent on lunch on particular days. Next, learners are given two equations of functions, and an x value and...

Learners solve quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students factor and graph linear and quadratic functions. They identify the standard and linear form of each equation.

Fifth graders can do a quick review of graphing functions using integers with this worksheet. The worksheet has questions which require students to identify the pertinent information in a word problem, and create a graph to represent the...

This video uses the Drake Equation to calculate the odds of intelligent alien life in the universe. [7:28] Followed by a short quiz and a list of additional resources to explore.

The claim-testing gang comes face-to-face with a living organism from another planet and learn what conditions are perfect to support life on a planet.
