Students calculate the area under a curve. In this calculus lesson, students use Riemann sums to find and approximate the area under a curve. They use the derivative and differential equations to solve.

Students spend $10,000 by picking up to 3 stocks in which to invest. They monitor their progress for three weeks, and chart results in a spreadsheet template.

Third graders focus on state birds as they learned absolute location (latitude/longitude) of each state, as well as their relative location (bordering states).

Students use the World Wide Web to access and use FoilSim. They also use the World Wide Web to access the NASA Glenn Web site for information relative to the factors involved with the flight of an airplane.

Young scholars compare the records of gold medal Olympic winners for the last 100 years and decide if we are faster, stronger than in the past.

Students orally describe Northern and Southern hemispheres, identify 7 continents, and point out specific countries and cities. They locate and record weather information.

Students use Curveball to complete the activity to determine how the speed of airstreams changes in relation to changes in the distance of the airstream from the center of the baseball.

Students, after reading the explanation given below, use FoilSim to determine the weight of the aircraft that can be lifted by a pair of wings of each type. They also design a unique platform of a wing to lift a plane weighing 11500 pounds.

Students use FoilSim to complete the activity and investigate the factors that affect lift and how wing area and lift are related.

Students study the bottom structure of underwater habitats and how they can be mapped.

Students recognize that the other eight known planets, which revolve around the Sun, have characteristics and surface conditions that are different from Earth; and identify examples of those differences.

Students recognize different types of cloud patterns and associate these patterns with certain types of weather. They predict the weather for the next 6 to 24 hours. They then improve their observation skills as they check on the weather...

Students, through the use of the Curveball interactive software package, become familiar with the way in which the flow of air across or around an object affects its ability to lift, spin, and curve. After reading the explanation given...

Students investigate the area under a curve and the rate of change.

Ninth graders, after reading the explanation given below, complete the problem-solving activities to demonstrate an understanding of the concepts presented.

Students read an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook, then demonstrate an understanding of the text by using it, along with FoilSim, to complete an activity that manipulates the lift coefficient equation.

Young scholars read an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook on lift and an explanation on the FoilSim software package given below. They use FoilSim to evaluate the relationship between wing area and lift.

Pupils, after reading an explanation on lift from a NASA Web-based textbook and an explanation on the FoilSim software package given below, use FoilSim to evaluate the relationship between velocity and lift.

Students investigate the force of drag and how NASA engineers use models and glowing paints to examine how air flows over vehicles in a wind tunnel. They discover how the blended wing body will affect air travelers of the future.

Students determine the presence of drugs in water. In this chemistry activity, students experiment on water samples using thin layer and column chromatography. They determine the concentration of drugs present using graphical analysis.

Fifth graders read the book, "The Talking Earth" and research an animal that is found in the Everglades.

First graders read the book, "The Manatee Winter," and participate in a game to research manatees.

Students, after reading the explanation given below, use FoilSim to gather and record data on temperature and altitude generated by the FoilSim control panel.

Sixth graders use centimeter cubes to build structures and then compare and contrast the patterns they see.
