Ninth graders use FoilSim to fulfill the specifications of a given airfoil (wing) and plot and interpret graphs.

Pupils engage in a lesson that is about the concept of earthquake design. The lesson includes the integration of technology and how it can be used to create buildings and structures for withstanding an earthquake. Students also define...

Use our interactivity to simulate picking up a bow and some arrows and trying to hit the target a few times. Can you work out the best settings for the sight? This activity gives an opportunity to gather and collate data, and to test...

Get independent practice using a simulation. Each incorrect response gets a text box explanation and another try. Correct responses are confirmed.

This tutorial helps students understand the probability of two events occurring when the words AND & OR are used. There are examples and practice problems. The teacher resource pages include a demonstration and a computer simulation.

Simulation where learners apply mathematics and economics concepts in the lemonade business. Learners set up a virtual lemonade stand and must determine production costs, product variables, and profits. Students record data collected on...
