Students, after reading an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook, demonstrate an understanding of the text by applying it to the calculation of area, velocity, and pressure in a wind tunnel.

Students participate in lab activities in which they examine the radon level in homes. They demonstrate through convection currents how radon moves through a home based on temperature. They predict what they believe will occur during the...

Junior engineers examine aspect ration in airplane wings. Using the length and width of two differetn wings, they calculate the aspect ratios and compare drag rankings. An engineering or space science class would benefit from this...

Students investigate the laws of physics that govern the flight of helicopters and airplanes. They build and launch a model rotor, simulating rotors used on helicopters to provide lift.

Ninth graders calculate the average speed of their balsa wood airplane. In this physics lesson, 9th graders build their own airplane and make necessary modifications to to make it fly straight. They interpret distance and time graph...

This site, which is provided for by the University of St. Andrews, gives a brief biography of Nicolaus Bernoulli.

This is a culmination activity used after students have studied Bernoulli's Principle as part of a unit on forces and fluids. Students will use the Internet, textbooks, library resources and their cooperative learning group to design...

Short selections from W. W. Rouse Ball's "A Short Account of the History of Mathematics," most of which are biographies that focus on the mathematician's work. The text can be read online or downloaded by individual chapters in MP3 or...

The events of the life of James Bernoulli are presented in an abbreviated timeline form. The biographical information is taken from "A Short Account of the History of Mathematics" by W. W. Rouse Ball (4th Edition, 1908).

This site from Math Pages contains information explaining harmonic series. The information is very in-depth and mathematic, but good factual information is provided. A good overall site.

This site from ScienceWorld provides a brief but factual abstract of Bernoulli's math accomplishments. Links are provided throughout for additional information on related subjects.

The tutorial explores first order differential equations. Topics examined are linear equations, separable equations, Bernoulli differential equations, equilibrium solutions, Euler?s method, and intervals of validity. Class notes,...

An introduction to exponential equations that describe growth and decay over time. Variables and constants in the equation are explained.

This site provides a general biography of Takakazu Seki Kowa, "the arithmetical sage." Content focuses on his known accomplishments. Also includes related links.

This page of brief biographies taken from "A Short Account of the History of Mathematics," includes a paragraph on the life and work of Gabriel Cramer of "Cramer's Rule," fame.

The University of St. Andrews offers this biography of Takakazu Seki Kowa. Many interesting links are provided.
