Curated OER
Pythagorean Theorem Investigation
Eighth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem and practice applying the theorem to various triangles. Finally, in the next lesson in the sequence, 8th graders create a song or a story to help them remember the Pythagorean Theorem.
Curated OER
Lesson from the web
Students measure the circumference of an object to the nearest millimeter. They also measure the diameter. The relationship of the two measurements is taught and how the value of pi came into existence.
Curated OER
Glow With the Flow
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.
