More No-Three-In-A-Line
Fourth graders read Mary's problem and make sure that they examine it.
After some discussion, let the class work on the problem in their groups.
They then take turns in putting a picture of their arrangement on the board.
Curated OER
Angle Pairs
Students practice identifying right, vertical, and adjacent angles using a Smartboard. They then determine measurements of all of the angles when only one measurement is given.
Curated OER
Drag Equation - Level 1
Young scholars, after reading the Drag Equation page from the NASA Web site, demonstrate an understanding of this equation and how drag is dependent on the variables included in the equation.
Curated OER
Drag Equation - Level 2
Students, after reading the Drag Equation page from the NASA Web-based textbook, demonstrate an understanding of this equation and how drag is dependent on the variables included in the equation.
Curated OER
Wing Shapes and Areas
Students, after reading the explanation given below, use FoilSim to determine the weight of the aircraft that can be lifted by a pair of wings of each type. They also design a unique platform of a wing to lift a plane weighing 11500 pounds.
Curated OER
Characteristics of Lift and Wing Area
Students use FoilSim to complete the activity and investigate the factors that affect lift and how wing area and lift are related.

Building Paper Bridges
Young scholars construct a bridge that can hold 100 pennies. For this math lesson, students evaluate the strength of their bridges. They predict how much weight a bridge can hold based on its design.
