Curated OER
Technology - Chaos Theory Lab
Ninth graders gain an understanding of Chaos Theory that exists in one's everyday environment.
Curated OER
"If You Hopped Like a Frog" by David M. Schwartz
Students search for and generalize an algebraic pattern. They make and analyze a coordinate graph.
Curated OER
Temperature and Pressure on Airplane Surfaces
Students use the Internet to delve into the relationship between fores and motion on a sizable object. They predict where they think the temperature and pressure be the greatest, and where the pressure be the lowest.
Curated OER
The Lift Equation
Learners 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.
Curated OER
Metric Olympic Games
Students participate in a metric Olympics. In this metric measurement instructional activity, students participate in 6 events that require them to predict, estimate, and measure lengths, masses, and area in metric units.
Curated OER
Air Temperature and Kinetic Energy
Students use a NASA website do activities which help them better explain how air temperature and kinetic energy are related to aircraft propulsion.
Curated OER
Story Problem Writing
Students write story problems which can only be solved with the application of multiplication facts. They write an extra fact that isn't needed to solve. When their partners do the problems, they must cross out the fact that they do need.
Curated OER
Fractions
Fourth graders explore fractions. They use Skittles and M&M's to practice adding and subtracting fractions. Students review the numerator and the denominator of fractions. They count the number of each color of Skittles and M&M's...
Curated OER
Fly on the Ceiling
Fourth graders complete activities to increase their understanding of coordinates. They listen to Julie Glass' book, The Fly on the Ceiling, before playing fly tic-tac-toe and Swat the Flies, in which they use ordered pairs to state the...
Curated OER
2 Digit Subtraction Worksheets with Regrouping
In these subtraction worksheets, learners will subtract single and double digit subtrahends from double digit minuends. Students will need to regroup to solve.
Curated OER
Characteristics of Lift and Wing Area
Learners use FoilSim to complete the activity and investigate the factors that affect lift and how wing area and lift are related.
Curated OER
Using 3-D Models for Code Validation with FoilSim
Students use FoilSim to complete the activity to create tables of data sets comparing the lift values for a 3-D model of a symmetrical wing section to the values predicted by the FoilSim software.
Curated OER
Aeronautics Propulsion
Students use the World Wide Web to access additional information needed to complete the activities on the forces on an airplane, the function of the stabilizer, and the calculation of Mach speed, temperature, pressure, and thrust.
Curated OER
Making Estimations in Measurement
Learners utilize their knowledge of measurement in making accurate measurements and estimations.
Curated OER
Thank You... Thomas Edison!
Students investigate the life of Thomas Edison. They research how he made a difference. They understand that accurate data collection is important for math. They create a chart using spreadsheet data.
