The Golden Rectangle
Middle schoolers explore the concept of the golden ratio. In this golden ratio lesson, students measure objects to determine if their measurements fit the golden ratio. Middle schoolers calculate the average measurements of the class.
Curated OER
The Energy that Keeps Us Moving
Learners measure the calorie content of food. In this technology lesson, students explore where the CEENBoTs get the energy to make it move. They create a Venn diagram showing the differences of energy in food and CEENBoTs.
Curated OER
Which Bear?
Students study bears. In this science lesson, students compare black, grizzly and polar bears. Students measure the bear tracks and compare the bear habitats and diet.
Curated OER
Olympic Metrics
Students study metric measurements related to Winter Olympic events are converted to their U.S. equivalents. (Younger students use an online metric converter; older students use a formula to calculate the measurements.) Work sheets are...
Curated OER
Bounce Back Ball
Fifth graders work in teams of four to measure the rebound heights of a tennis ball dropped from four different heights. They investigate with the bouncing balls to measure changes in the type of energy they possess.
Curated OER
Algebra/Geometry Institute: Area, Circumference, Perimeter
Students solve area problems. In this area, circumference, and perimeter instructional activity, students solve area and perimeter problems using standard and metric units of measure. They identify the best customary unit of measure...
Curated OER
Temperature School
Students observ the cooling and warming of room temperature, hot, and ice cold cans of water by measuring the change in temperature over time. They then attempt to develop explanations for the observations made and apply their findings...
