Let's Get it There Fast
Are planes the best shipping method? Using maps, pupils determine the fastest mode of transportation between two cities. Given a list of items to ship, groups decide the best shipping method to finish the 18th segment of a 22-part unit.
Curated OER
Friction
Students explore how friction change motion and why friction is important. Students set up an incline plane. They slide wooden blocks down the incline plane and measure the distance from the end of the track that the block moved....
Curated OER
How Do Airplanes Get Off the Ground
Pupils construct various types of paper airplanes, exploring action and reaction forces by conducting a paper airplane rodeo. Students then discuss how Newton's Third Law of Motion affected their planes.
Curated OER
Mechanically Inclined
Eighth graders examine the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane through experimentation.
Curated OER
Simple Machines - Fruit Wedge
Fourth graders examine the principles and uses of inclined planes, screws, and wedges while they determine examples of simple machines that are use in everyday life. They separate different kinds of fruit into pieces to determine the...
Curated OER
Fly Away With Averages
Students study mean, median, and mode. They construct paper airplanes and test them to see how far they fly. They measure the distance and then find the averages of their throws. They use spreadsheet software to record the data in a...
Curated OER
Geo-Mat
Students review plane figures by playing a game that resembles "Twister." They listen to directions to locate a large example of the figure which is placed on the floor.
Curated OER
Complex numbers in polar form
High schoolers plot complex numbers in the polar plane. They convert complex numbers in polar form to rectangular form. Students plot coordinates in the polar plane. They plot complex numbers in the complex plane. High schoolers are...
Curated OER
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Fifth graders complete activities to investigate parallel and perpendicular lines. In this plane geometry lesson plan, 5th graders watch a movie about parallel and perpendicular lines. Students work in pairs to describe and draw the...
