Students use SunPath in the yearly mode to investigate seasonal changes in sunrise, sunset, length of day and sun altitude at their own latitude. Sun Path JAVA applet uses equations for a spherical Earth to calculate the sunrise and...

Young scholars use the FoilSim educational software program to complete an activity regarding lift. They solve a multivariable equation for each of the variables and apply the results to various problems in different situations.

Students demonstrate an understanding of the properties of matter by applying them to density, pressure, and temperature. The educational software program, "Foilsim" is used in this inquiry.

You needn't take a stress pill or don a space helmet to take a tutorial in artificial intelligence. In fact, HAL might recommend the course with great enthusiasm and confidence for those seeking an introduction to AI.

In this ESL editing learning exercise, students will focus on error correction and editing. Students will read a short passage correcting any spelling mistakes or omissions from the article.

Eighth graders investigate linear equations.  In this Algebra I lesson, 8th graders explore the effects that manipulating a linear equation has on the graph of the function through the use of a java applet.

Students use the FoilSim computer simulation program, and demonstrate an understanding of the lift variables by explaining their graphical representations. They demonstrate an understanding of forces and motion.

How do you modify digital pictures? For this lab learners write methods that modify digital pictures. They how to traverse a two-dimensional array of integers or objects, and are introduced to nested loops, binary numbers,...

Looking for a project to use in an AP® Computer Science class? Engage learners with a simple solitaire game called Elevens. Through these activities, learners break down the task and write the code for a game. Sign in to your College...

Learners use, with increasing confidence, problem-solving approaches to investigate and explain mathematical content. They make and test conjectures. They use tables and graphs as tools to interpret expressions, equations, and inequalities.

How do you know when to use a semicolon versus a colon? Middle and high schoolers choose between a colon and a semicolon to correctly punctuate sentences. They must complete 10 sentences, either electronically or on a printout.

Students use FoilSim to demonstrate that the graphic analysis of the airflow around one object can be used to hypothesize airflow graphs for objects as they are elongated from a sphere to an airfoil shape.

Students use FoilSim to design an airplane wing that generates a given lift. As they change parameters such as airspeed, altitude, angle of attack, thickness and curvature of the airfoil, and size of the wing area, the software...

Students use FoilSim (downloadable) to determine how lift is affected by varying parameters on the Airfoil simulation.

Learners use 3-D modeling techniques to observe the characteristic signature of the stall condition apparent on an airfoil at high angles of attack. They use FoilSim to compare the above with ideal airflow.

Learners work together to create a cruise package to Indonesia. They collaborate on a travel brochure and coordinate daily activities for fictitious travelers to discover the diversity among the islands that make up Indonesia.

In this number system conversions activity, students explore, analyze and develop mastery skills in converting between alternative number systems.

Students explore ancient Egypt. In this Egypt lesson, students use the Internet to research ancient Egypt and then participate in several activities that help them better understand Egyptian culture.

Students explore a variety of Internet sites provided to provide tools to speed up their net experiences. The lesson was originally written for librarians with little or no net experiences.

Students use Curveball to complete the activity to determine how the speed of airstreams changes in relation to changes in the distance of the airstream from the center of the baseball.

Students, after reading the explanation given below, use FoilSim and a graphing calculator to complete the activity to determine the relationship between airspeed and lift of an object by interpreting data.

Students use FoilSim interactive software to become familiar with the way in which the flow of air across or around an airfoil affects its ability to create lift.

Young scholars, through the use of the Curveball interactive software package, become familiar with the way in which the flow of air across or around an object affects its ability to lift, spin, and curve. After reading the explanation...

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.
