Young scholars examine how clouds affect incoming solar radiation. They compare and contrast satellite images and incoming solar radiation measurements as methods to provide information about clouds.

Fourth graders discuss life in a coral reef, and view photographs and a computer program about coral reefs. They design and create colorful watercolor, ink, and crayon drawings of coral reefs.

Students build a working definition of a regular fractal, they measure the concepts of dimensions and scale, they explore the concept of a logarithm and they attempt to solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial...

Students read an explanation from the NASA Web-based "textbook", The Beginner's Guide to Aerodynamics, then use the information in combination with data from other Web sites to solve single variable equations for distance (range), time,...

Pupils research several countries in Eastern Europe. Students compare and contrast several Eastern European countries and then choose a specific country to research and prepare a class presentation with their findings.

Students conduct Internet research to track the path of Hurricane Rita. They record the sea surface temperature of the Gulf of Mexico during and after the hurricane and draw conclusions about how hurricanes extract heat energy from the...

Line graphs are used in our daily lives to show change over time.

Learners will learn and reinforce skills for creating, applying and analyzing pie charts, bar graphs and line graphs.

This lesson plan focuses on Interpreting and analyzing linear, quadratic, and exponential models and graphs. Students will use best fit lines to interpret contexts, distinguish whether contexts are linear or exponential functions, use...

For this task, students are presented with data about latitude and the percentage of the Earth's surface north of each latitude line. They are to use this data to sketch a graph, analyze it, and build an understanding of an invertible...

In this lesson plan, eighth grade students will collect data. They will use this data to analyze the relationship between the height of an individual and the length of his/her foot. Students will use a line of fit to make predictions for...
