Great real-world math application! Have the class compare and contrast their estimated home price and income data with actual data. In groups, they participate in simulations to discover how the housing market and mortgages operate....

Friction leads to movement, heat, and melting on such a small scale most people don't notice. A short simulation permits scholars to observe the reaction between atoms as they move together.  The simulation applies the concept of...

Japan is one of only a handful of countries that constructs buildings that are almost earthquake proof. The 13th lesson in the 20-part series challenges scholars to build structures to test against earthquakes. With limited materials and...

Students practice solving algebra equations utilizing model tiles.  In this algebra lesson, students observe a clip from the movie Homeward Bound and break the action down into an algebraic equation.  Students solve an algebra...

Students analyze earth science by creating a frozen treat in class. In this heat transfer activity, students discuss how matter is transformed from solid to liquid and liquid to gas when energy is removed from the equation. Students...

Students explain how the food chain works. They contrast predators with prey and describe their function in nature. Students discuss how the food chain aids in keeping nature balanced. In small groups, they play a game that simulates the...
