What is the financial benefit for attending a community college for the first two years before transferring to a four-year college? The second part of the educational lesson asks young scholars to explore this question through data...

How accurate are robots? Groups draw lines by moving robots backwards and forwards by one rotation of the wheels. Using the appropriate formula, they determine the percent error in the length of the lines in relation to the calculated...

Lift—it is about the wing's attack. Using a virtual wind tunnel, pupils investigate wing shape and angle of attack. Learners use worksheets to record their observations and to convert verbal relationships into mathematical equations in...

Class members create their own social networks by collecting signatures before graphing the interactions with their fellow classmates. The degree distribution of the simulated social network is determined by calculating the degree of...

What does an MRI machine have to do with a slinky? This activity challenges learners to run a current through a slinky and use a magnetic field sensor to measure the magnetic field. Groups then change the length of the slinky to see...

Investigate the effect of one-axis rotations on geometric figures. Scholars learn to use snap cubes and the right-hand rule to draw figures after rotations about the x-, y-, or z-axes. They try their hands at examples created by the...

For those students interested in developing cool video game software for computer or those who enjoy applying their compter science skills to solve problems, a career as a computer software engineer might be worth examining. This Science...

In this Derive activity, students understand how the software solves cubic equations and relate it to contributions made by del Ferro, Tartaglia, and Cardan in finding the method of solving cubic equations.

Put your interest in computers into an investigation of the career of computer hardware engineer. If you want to improve the speed and function of your computer, this is your career. This Science Buddies site lays out the requirements...

This tutorial shows you how to install Apps and new operating systems in the TI-SmartView software.

In this activity, students will explore the properties of rotations and the relationships between the original and image figures.

In this activity, students will investigate the relationship among the three types of rigid transformations - translations, rotations, and reflections.
