Students work together to complete a project on probability. In groups, they solve probability equations based on the formula and scenerio given to them in a PowerPoint presentation. To end the lesson plan, they take a quiz on each...

Groups use a marble to determine the viscosity of household fluids. The procedure calls for pupils to measure the amount of time it takes a marble to fall a specified distance in the fluids. Using unit conversions and algebra, the teams...

Students use the DrScheme program to create graphics for clip art. Using graphics, they plan their designs using basic shapes, plotting its positions, and studying the relationships between points. By plotting the necessary data on...

Design and build a rover ... then eat it? This activity has groups of two design and build Mars rovers. The teams determine what instruments they want to include with their rover and plan a budget. They calculate the cost of the body of...

Students analyze graphs to determine relationships between variables and rates of change. They determine the basic concepts about static reaction forces. They determine the slope and equation of a line.

Twelfth graders determine the pixels in photos. In this engineering lesson, 12th graders design a picture mosaic using the computer. They design their own class picture.

High schoolers interactively learn multimedia terminology while using the Alice Programming.  In this multimedia lesson students become the director of a movie or video game. 

This project resulted from of the collaboration of a computer aided drafting teacher, Chris Bond, and a math teacher, Lee Cable, (Hewitt-Trussville High School) to provide higher math expectations in CT and real life application in...

Students explore electromagnetism and engineering concepts using optimization techniques to design an efficient magnetic launcher. Groups start by algebraically solving the equations of motion for the velocity at the time when a...

This module is written for a first-year algebra-based physics class, though it could easily be modified for conceptual physics. It is intended to provide hands-on activities to teach the overarching concept of energy, as it relates to...

A collection of video lectures from a course reviewing linear algebra with applications to networks, structures, and estimation. Webpage includes thirty-six lectures from a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Lectures...
