Students answer questions about the altitude range of the sun over time in Barrow, Alaska.

In this altitude change of the International Space Station worksheet, students observe a graph of the change in altitude of the space station over time due to the Earth's drag. Students solve 3 problems using the data in the graph.

students convert the temperature readings from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. they predict and create a graph of what the graph of altitude (x-axis) versus temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (y-axis) might look like.

Students construct, read and interpret tables, charts and graphs. They draw inferences and develop convincing arguments that are based on data analysis. They create a graph displaying altitude versus wind speed.

Calculate one hypotenuse then repeat. The resource provides a variety of ways for finding the length of the diagonal in a prism. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, pupils find a variety of distances in 3-D figures. The distances range from...

A slideshow covering the Smarter Balanced Target I on solving problems involving volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres contains five sample items. Items range from finding the volume of a figure to finding the altitude of a cone given...

In this triangles instructional activity, students identify the median, altitude, segment, angle bisector, perpendicular bisector and triangle midsegment of triangles.  They find the perimeter of triangles.  This...

For this space shuttle launch worksheet, students are given 2 equations used to determine the space shuttle's trajectory in the first 5 minutes of a launch. Students use these equations to solve 3 problems including finding the shuttle's...

Pupils explore properties of triangles using angle bisectors, incenters, circles, midpoints, and altitudes. They use Geometer's Sketchpad in order to create triangles and their properties.

In this atmospheric carbon dioxide worksheet, students observe a map showing the concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide taken by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder instrument. Students solve 4 problems using the map. They determine...

In this cosmic radiation on Mars worksheet, learners study a radiation map of Mars taken by the MARIE instrument on the Odyssey spacecraft. Students answer 4 questions using the radiation map and they answer questions about the exposure...

In this plasmasphere worksheet, students read about the dilute region of gases 10,000 kilometers above the Earth where atoms are ionized. Students use a photograph taken by the IMAGE EUV instrument to answer 3 questions about the...

Students design their own logo or picture and use a handheld GPS receiver to map it out. They write out a word or graphic on a field or playground, walk the path, and log GPS data. The results display their "art" on their GPS receiver...

Students are introduced to the basic trigonometric identities. Using a diagram, they discover why the parts of the unit circle as named as they are and use equations to finalize the Pythagorean trigonometric identities. They also review...

Students discuss the concept of "aspect ratio" of the Helios Prototype. They find real life objects that are taller or shorter than them by a certain amount. They practice with ratio and measurement.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve a  problem involving the possible lengths for the third side of a triangle given two sides and determine where the point of concurrency lies in relation to the triangle. The one page...
