Seventh graders review graphing procedures and practice locating points using x,y coordinates. Students calculate the areas of the top and bottom surfaces of the airfoil. They construct a test model of the airfoil.

The plot thickens to get a functional understanding. After a short review of plotting points on the coordinate plane, class members learn the difference between functions and relations in the second lesson plan in a series of nine....

Some things are hard to resist. Small collaborative groups build circuits and calculate the voltage using Ohm's Law. Budding engineers explore the connection between the voltage across different resistors and linear...

Pairs of learners work together in order to simulate how engineers test materials for strength and safety in the real world. They use paper cups and pieces of spaghetti to run strength tests. This excellent worksheet should lead to...

High schoolers relate the trigonometric functions to the coordinates of the unit circle. They classify trigonometric functions as odd or even. Students determine the signs of trigonometric functions in each quadrant. They are...

Students observe the cracks in school walls and pavements. In this geometry lesson, students explore the factors to be considered before building a structure. They complete a graphing and calculation worksheet after the lesson.

Pupils practice graphing quadratic equations to find the vertex of quadratic functions. They determine if the graph opens upward or downward as well as convert quadratic equations to vertex form from polynomial form. A lab version is...

Fifth graders study dehydration and dehydration of foods. They measure the amount of water lost from fruits as they are dehydrated. They use desktop publishing software to design an advertisement for dehydrated fruit after researching...

Students use PowerPoint, Internet research, scanners and desktop publishing to create a multimedia presentation on the dangers of smoking.
