Young scholars solve several differential equations. In this calculus lesson plan, students test their modulus calculation by testing different weights or beam lengths. They share their findings in class.

Students calculate the area of triangles using a variety of materials including computer applets.

Students investigate the supposed traveling path of a meteorite. They use sound in order to triangulate the path. The results of the experiment are written on a map to display the path of the meteorite. The culminating activity is when...

Third graders use fractions to describe part of a set. In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders are introduced to fractions through a book and use pattern blocks to describe a fraction as a part of a set. This lesson includes a scripted...

Fifth graders practice using estimation. In this estimation lesson, 5th graders add, subtract, multiple, and divide using whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. Students decide upon instances when estimation is more appropriate than...

Ninth graders explain how wind can produce electricity. In this geometry lesson, 9th graders construct their own pin wheel turbine and calculate its power. They discuss the pros and cons of using wind generator.

Students identify and analyze the concept of integrated resource management. Then they identify the importance of computers in manufacturing management. Students also identify and define the meaning of acronyms such as CAD, CAM, CIM,...

Students, after reading the Drag Equation page from the NASA Web site, demonstrate an understanding of this equation and how drag is dependent on the variables included in the equation.
