Hi, what do you want to do?
Curated OER
Fruitvale Extension
Students determine sources and extent of ground water contaminate, apply mathematics to model in real world simulation, and use technology to present results.
Curated OER
Rockets and Payloads
Students investigate Newton's Second Law of Motion as they predict the effect of a payload on the amount of energy needed to lift a rocket vertically. The constraints of the weight of the equipment carried to Mars is compared to the...
Curated OER
Wide Open Spaces
Students examine the problem of groundwater pollution. In groups, they develop a solution to solve the problem of a local polluted water source. They also practice measuring the space between sediment particles and the rate of water flow.
Curated OER
Speed of a Forest Stream
Students study stream speed. In this stream speed lesson students complete an activity and formulate an opinion and study its effects.
Curated OER
A Cut Above the Rest Administration Procedures
Learners analyze how the Law of Conservation of Energy applies to the design and use of scissors. Working in groups, they determine the output work for a standard pair of scissors.
Curated OER
Deliver
Young scholars measure the mass, volume, length and area of various objects. They are assigned a letter. The task is assesses students' abilities to make simple observations and measurements.
Curated OER
Instruments and Measurement
High schoolers circulate through stations to determine the proper instrument to make a certain type of measurement. They must make measurements of mass, volume, length, area, electrical current, temperature and force.
Curated OER
Suburban Ecosystems
Students conduct simple sampling of plant and insect biodiversity at ground level in two contrasting environments of their own choosing. They recognize and record different species then compare and contrast species numbers in the two...
Curated OER
Measuring Supporting Structures
Students calculate the volume of the Pantheon's columns and estimate changes in weight given different parameters.
Curated OER
The Game of Business
Students practice the economic concepts of scarcity and opportunity cost. They imagine creating their own businesses and brainstorm what they need to know in order to determine when the business is profitable.
Curated OER
Finding Percent When Given A Fraction
Seventh graders calculate percentages when given a fraction. They convert a percentage to a fraction. All of this be done by each student's ability to read the graphs made available by the spreadsheet information.
Curated OER
Understanding Tone
Eighth graders define tone and determine the tone of a particular passage making a web of tone words on Inspiration. They write a journal entry expressing how a piece of music makes them feel and create a PowerPoint to share.
Curated OER
I'm in the Money - Practical Money Skills
Students make a budget and utilize math skills to keep a record of what they spend. They use technology and spreadsheets to help them keep track of their money.
Curated OER
"The Giver" by Lois Lowry
Young scholars predict results, design a model, and carry out trials to determine probability based on their experimentation.
Curated OER
Searching The Word
Fifth graders review EOG math terms and definitions found in their math notebooks, and pick between 15 and 20 words to put in a word search.
Curated OER
Extreme Acceleration
Students explore the concept of acceleration. They determine the acceleration rate of a roller-blader and graph the results.
Curated OER
4 Month Budget Spreadsheet
Eighth graders create and maintain a spreadsheet budget based on a predetermined salary. They have an opportunity to make "investments and purchases." Budget records be kept for an imaginary 4 month period.
Curated OER
Translating Transformations in Geometry
Students create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.
Curated OER
Expected Value
High schoolers discuss what expected value is, they are introduced to the concept of varyting payoffs. Students use a computer simulation of a "real world" example where expected value is used.
Curated OER
Do Vampires Really Exist?
Students identify and extend a number pattern into very large values. They create and interpret a graph based on their number patterns. Students compare a math model with real-world statistics about the existence of vampires.
Curated OER
Counting Triangles
Sixth graders examine triangles in a figure. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders establish a method for counting triangles within a given figure. Students discover that the total number of triangles is the sum of all numbers counted.
Curated OER
The Pressure of a Solar Storm
In this solar storm worksheet, students are given three equations and they calculate the magnetic pressure and the particle pressure of a solar storm. They also determine the distance to the magnetopause of the solar storm and...
