Students solve and analyze the sierpinski's triangle. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties and theorem of triangles. They solve problems involving angles and sides of triangles.

Students investigate the Sierpinski triangle. In this geometry activity, students define fractal curves and its relationship to triangles. They identify repeating sequences and relate it to fractals.

Students determine sources and extent of ground water contaminate, apply mathematics to model in real world simulation, and use technology to present results.

Pupils work together to build tetrahedral kites. They must follow directions and the provided materials. They discover the engineering concepts needed to make the kite.

Students discover the entire process that goes into designing a rocket for any customer. They study important factors such as supplies, ethics, deadlines and budgets. Also, students explore about the Engineering process, and recognize...

Students work together to build an earthquake city. They simulate the shaking during an earthquake to discover if their structure is built well enough. They discover how engineers complete these types of tests to develop better...

Learners construct model landfill liners out of two-inch strips of garbage bags within resource constraints. The challenge is to construct a bag that will hold one cup of water without leaking. This represents similar challenges that...

Students measure and predict the behavior of a fractal.  In this investigative lesson students divide into groups, and participate in an activity that includes drawing triangles and coloring vertices. 

Young scholars practice measuring items with non standard units. In this units lesson plan, students measure shapes, lengths, and classroom objects.

Young scholars explore the process of construction and architecture. For this construction research lesson, students complete image based discussion activities and three related activities for architecture and design.

A good beginner's site for fractals - the language is straightforward and requires only minimal experience to be able to understand the topic. (Note: When clicking on links on archived site, they may pause and appear not to be found...

These discrete math activities utilize the concepts of iteration and recursion. Students work in a group to solve real-world problems.

Student teams create laparoscopic surgical robots designed to reduce the invasiveness of diagnosing endometriosis and investigate how the disease forms and spreads. Using a synthetic abdominal cavity simulator, students test and iterate...

Students learn about the importance of creating and testing prototypes during the engineering design process. They start by building prototypes, which is a special type of model used to test new design ideas. Students gain experience...

Through this unit, students act as engineers who are given the challenge to design laparoscopic surgical tools. After learning about human anatomy and physiology of the abdominopelvic cavity, especially as it applies to laparoscopic...

Can you build a device that will deliver life-saving treatment to someone in a hazardous situation? During this lesson plan, students will learn how energy is converted and transferred between objects. Working in groups and through the...

During this math-focused unit, young scholars will create a device that is used to harvest fruit from a tree. They will then look at failure points in order to iterate their design. Finally, students will describe their device as a...
