Don't worry, this resource actually exists. Scholars learn about imaginary numbers and work on problems simplifying square roots of negative numbers. As an extension, they research the history of imaginary numbers.

Help learners use a variety of methods to identify, visualize, and simplify polynomials with like terms. Several different visuals are used to introduce the instructional activity, such as colored pencils, overheads, interactive white...

Learners design an investigation using yeast. In this environmental engineering instructional activity, students design an investigation to determine how environmental factors affect the growth of yeast. They will collect quantitative...

An engaging hands-on activity is presented. Learners of all ages are addressed in thie unique plan. K-5 learners identify, name, and define a rectangle, square, triangle, and the concept of area. Older learners prove the Pythagorean...

Young scholars collect pennies and sort them in ascending order of dates. For the year on each penny, students research key events in history and pick a single event, explaining its historical significance. Then young scholars use these...

First graders estimate length and height of items. They read the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and discuss estimation of size. Students predict the length and height of figures. They use lines and numbers on the centimeter rod and tape...

Fifth graders define vocabulary terms, identify the characteristics of a pillbug, and create a dichotomous key. Then they examine the pillbugs and make observations and record these observations. Finally, 5th graders observe specific...

Pupils of all ages work in pairs to find information about themselves and record a digital "Who am I?" They observe and measure each other, write clues, and illustrate before having others guess who is described.

Auntie Litter is here to educate young scholars about water pollution and environmental stewardship! Although the 15-minute video clip is cheesy, it's an engaging look at the water cycle and conservation. Learners start by illustrating...

Does the number of calories you eat affect the total time you sleep? Young mathematicians tackle this question by collecting their own data and making comparisons between others in the class through building scatter plots and regression...

Reverse the wrapping to get to the gift. Using the idea of unwrapping a gift, the activity introduces the concept of inverses. Pupils first determine the order needed to evaluate a function at a point, then use the reverse to find the...

No height? No problem! Learners use their knowledge and a little help from GeoGebra to develop the Law of Sines formula. The Law of Sines helps to determine the height of triangles to calculate the area.

How many different ways can you write the same number? Learners experiment with writing numbers using different bases. They progress from base 10 to base two, eight, and six.

Complex doesn't have to mean harder! Learners experiment with online software to determine the quadratic equations with complex solutions. They use the quadratic formula to solve equations with both real and complex solutions.

...Then the water heater exploded like a bomb. Using a video of an exploding water heater, the resource presents the definitions of energy, potential energy, and kinetic energy to be used in later lessons of the unit.

What are the issues surrounding water quality? Viewers of this short presentation gain information about the importance of clean water, the lack of fresh water, water contamination, and ways that engineers treat water. 

Students use technology as a tool for learning. They work together on a special project.

Tenth graders explore the Greenbriar Resort. In this budgeting lesson, 10th graders plan and calculate the cost of trips from their home to the Greenbriar Resort.

Students study technology and the different reproductive technologies available today.  For this human reproductive technology lesson students describe how engineers create technologies to improve the health of mothers and...
