Water Monitoring Vocabulary
As the title implies, this is a list of vocabulary terms relating to water monitoring. If your ecology class is learning about how to test water quality, this will be an appropriate reference sheet for them. As a bonus, if you live in...
Curated OER
Penny's Box
Students need to be able to calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid as well as present a systematic list of results in order to justify the minimum case. The use of three factors of 100 is also important.
Curated OER
Maintaining Body Heat
Learners observe and compare heat loss in various objects with surface area-to-volume ratios and transfer this comparison to the physical characteristics of animals in their environment. In small groups they conduct an experiment...
Curated OER
New Boxes from Old
Ninth graders take a rectangular box (e.g., a cereal box) and cut it up to make a new, cubical box with the same volume as the original. In so doing, they will discover that because the cubical box has less surface area than the...
Curated OER
Maintaining Body Heat
Young scholars observe and compare heat loss in different objects with surface-to-volume ratios. They transfer this comparison to the physical characteristics of animals in their environment. They focus on how whales maintain their body...
Curated OER
Animal Skin
Students investigate the skin surface to body area ratios for different animals. In this seventh/eighth grade mathematics/science lesson, students explore heat transfer between an animal’s body and the environment. Using...
Curated OER
Water Treatment Plant Tour
Students define vocabulary related to geometry and calculate the volume. In this geometry lesson, students calculate flow rates, and volume as it relates to a water plant facility. They calculate the volume of three dimensional shapes...
Curated OER
Geometry and Spatial Sense
Students investigate geometric shapes in 2 and 3 dimensions. In this geometry lesson, students create a model chocolate factory working in groups and using an actual cake. Students take a quiz about measurement equations...
Curated OER
Word Problems: Geometry
Students solve word problems by using basic geometry. In this geometry lesson, students use geometric formulas to find the perimeter, area, and volume of objects. Students complete a worksheet.
