Curated OER
Rows of Numbers
Students generate patterns from a structured situation, find a rule for the general term, and express it in words and symbols. They also devise and use problem solving strategies in a systematic way.
Curated OER
Wing Area Effects Problem Set
Learners read an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook on lift and an explanation on the FoilSim software package given below. They use FoilSim to evaluate the relationship between wing area and lift.
Curated OER
Velocity Effects Problem Set
High schoolers, after reading an explanation on lift from a NASA Web-based textbook and an explanation on the FoilSim software package given below, use FoilSim to evaluate the relationship between velocity and lift.
Curated OER
Domino Dash
Eighth graders examine the relationship between speed, time and distance. In this motion lesson students complete a lab activity that allows them to calculate average speed.
Curated OER
Vectors in Relative Velocities Problem Set
Young scholars, after reading an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook, demonstrate an understanding of vector addition and the text by applying them to the determination of vector components and relative velocities.
