In this domain and range instructional activity, students solve inequalities, determine the domain and range for a function, identify the limits, and sketch graphs of a function. This two-page instructional activity contains nine...

Students, after reading an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook, demonstrate an understanding of the text by using it, along with FoilSim, to complete an activity to graph and interpret the lift equation.

Students practice addition and subtraction problems and answer questions using greater than and less than. They chart information to create a graph on the computer.

Students, after reading the explanation given below, use FoilSim to complete the activity to fulfill the specifications of a given airfoil and then plot and interpret graphs.

Ninth graders use FoilSim to fulfill the specifications of a given airfoil (wing) and plot and interpret graphs.

Learners engage in a activity that is about an introduction to the course of calculus. They practice some of the basic concepts and solve some problems applying different principals of calculus. The teacher uses the sample problems...

Learners read an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook on lift and an explanation on the FoilSim software package given below. They use FoilSim to evaluate the relationship between wing area and lift.

Students, after reading an explanation on lift from a NASA Web-based textbook and an explanation on the FoilSim software package given below, use FoilSim to evaluate the relationship between velocity and lift.

Students determine the concentration of acetic acid when the concentration of the base with which is titrated is known. They investigate how to weigh a sample using the balance, measure volumes using graduated cylinder, explore the...

Students collect data and make a frequency table, change ratios into percents, and analyze data to make predictions.

Students review the standards for Algebra I. Using the text, they discover two problems that match each standard and solve them showing all steps on paper. They create a PowerPoint slide for each problem and go through the correct...

Students attempt a problem that Students has the potential to have more than one solution. Hence the problem is accessible to a wide range of students. The problem is essentially about finding patterns and this is typical of a number of...

student make predictions or draw conclusions based on physical and visual representations of profit and sales. They model problems with physical materials and visual representations, and use models, graphs and tables to draw conclusions...

Students participate in a lesson in order to practice using systems of equations in order to graph them. A cumulative project in the form of a brochure, web page, or interactive kiosk make this lesson more engaging.

Pupils explore the concept of trapezoids.  In this trapezoids instructional activity, students identify legs and bases of a trapezoid.  Pupils discuss the similarities and differences between isosceles trapezoids and right...

Learners brainstorm a list of nocturnal and diurnal wild animals they see in their community and discuss how the animals would be different if they were living during the Ice Age. Using a handout, they discover how archeologists record...

Students make predictions about the global temperature of the earth and to see how this is dependent upon a number of variables. Students visualize how changing parameters can impact the global temperature of the earth.

Third graders model the tag and recapture of bears and use proportions to estimate the population of the bears in their forest. This is a statistical sampling method used by scientists and naturalists to determine population numbers.

Seventh graders review the process of finding the area of a rectangle and complete a couple of examples as a class. They discuss what a parallelogram is and what the formula would be for finding its area. They listen to an explanation...

Students, after entering the given conditions into FoilSim, apply calculus techniques to verify predictions.

Nothing fancy here ... just your run-of-the-mill Algebra party! Learners explore the patterns of linear functions while designing seating arrangements for a dinner party. Comparing the number of tables to the perimeter of the combined...

Students study the fractional values of Cuisenaire rods while working with favorite family recipes.

Learners demonstrate an understanding of aircraft launch airspeed requirements. They read a selection on relative velocities from a NASA Web-based textbook, then calculate airspeed launch requirement problems.

Students listen to a read aloud of Eric Carle's, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, as an introduction to their study of the metamorphosis of a butterfly. They participate in a number of cross-curricular activities in this unit of lessons.
