In this activity, Students can use a Magnetic Field Sensor to measure the magnetic field of the Earth and to determine magnetic north. They will also calculate the magnetic inclination and declination at their location.

Students make two models to stimulate the cooling rate of different skin surface areas. They use a Temperature Sensor to measure the cooling rate of the models. The students also compare the cooling rates of the models to determine the...

This activity makes use of the Temperature Probe to measure the temperature of water as it cools and freezes. Students' determine and compare the freezing temperature of fresh water and ocean water.

In this activity, students explore the use of linear measurement and calculators to discover the existence of pi, the constant ratio between the circumference and the diameter of a circle.

In this activity, students represent and analyze climate data. They use linear regressions to understand the relationship between temperatures measured in the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales and examine conversion factors.

In this activity, students learn to compare and order decimals. They learn to measure decimals by using the Number Line application.

In this activity, students will practice some of the basic functions of the Cabri Geometry software, including use of the Pointer, Point, Line, Measure, and Construct toolbars.

Disappearing Wetlands: Investigate how particles settle by measuring the amount of light passing through the water as particles settle. Make connections to the process by which sediment settles out of the Mississippi River to form...

The purpose of this activity is to monitor the transfer of heat between 2 materials by measuring the temperature changes in them.

In this activity, students' will use a force sensor to measure the weight of a water filled funnel as it drains. They analyze the weight versus time data and describe it using concepts of slope and intercepts of a linear function.

In this activity, students will measure the bounce heights of golf balls dropped from a height. They examine the geometric sequence in the successive bounce heights and determine the constant or common ratio and the rate of decay of the...

In this activity, students use a temperature sensor to measure the temperature of water samples before and after adding washing soda. They understand concepts of dependent and independent variables and study the relationship between them.

This lesson was designed for our Grandparents and Special Friends day. It can be used for any visitation day, or an open house. The lesson is designed to review percent of a whole and the sector of the circle representing the percentage....

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson uses students' knowledge of graph theory (networks) to introduce two measures of centrality (how connected a particular node is to the entire network), known as degree centrality...

Draw a triangle with exterior angle. Measure the exterior angle and each remote interior angle. Use the Alpha hand to check that the sum of the remote interior angles is always equal to the exterior angle.

Students use a TI-84, Easy Temp and Easy Data to measure the quality of solar cookers. Hot dogs are heated under the May sunshine after students design, build and test their own solar cookers.

In this activity, students can use the Conductivity Probe to measure the Total Dissolved Solids in samples of water.

Students will expore the interior and exterior angle of 3 polygons and develop the formula to calculate the sum of degrees without the measurement of the angles being taken.

Students use the Dissolved Oxygen Probe to measure the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water from streams and rivers. They correlate the availability of dissolved oxygen to temperature, pressure, and salinity.

This activity explores what happens to measures of center and spread when outliers are introduced and when sample size varies.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students modeling a mock food fight using projectile motion. This lesson is very technology-intensive, and a CBR2 is used to measure the velocity of an object so that it's...

JASON Aquatic Field Study: Explore how dissolved oxygen is one of the best indicators of the health of an aquatic ecosystem. Measure the dissolved oxygen level of a local aquatic site and explore how it affects water quality.

French fries from your cafeteria to do data analysis. The students count the number of fries in a single serving of fries along with weighing the order, then measure the length and weight of a sample of individual fries. You then use the...

In this activity, students' will use a Dual range force sensor to measure the force required to pull a block across different surfaces. They will examine the results to see when more force is needed to move the block and understand the...
