Students use a 2-D physics sandbox, called Algodoo, to simulate the factors that might affect the period of a circular orbit of a planet about a star. Students develop Kepler's 3rd Law conceptually by
Students will apply STEM principles to design and build a working circuit in the shape of a heart, incorporating science concepts, technology tools, engineering skills, and mathematical calculations.
Students measure the temperature of water as it cools to learn about heat transfer and thermal properties while using line of best fit, linear regressions and/or quadratic regressions.
This investigation provides a fun and engaging way for students to learn about data collection, graphing, and proportional relationships while exploring the power of renewable energy. By applying
Water Troughs on the Rez is a lesson plan to help students understand the mathematical perspective of everyday items around our homes on the reservation. Students are to share different types of water
The students construct and interpret an HR Diagram to better understand the significance and usefulness of the diagram.
Student teams design insulated beverage cups with the challenge to test them to determine which material works best as an insulator to keep a hot beverage warm for as long as possible. Students test
This lesson is an activity to see what an angle is and how is can be used to approximate the time of day or even navigating vessels by measuring other celestial bodies. Students will use sextants to
This lesson is an activity to show how projectile motion and many other motions in nature fallow a parabolic curve. Students will manipulate that knowledge and analyze data using small play tanks to
This lesson takes two days or class periods since it is an exploration of energy in the lives of the students. Day 1 involves 8 different scenarios. Day 2 is an exploration of how efficient two
This is the second part of two lessons on density. This lesson is on the density of liquids following the first lesson on density of solids. The lesson is a lab on layering several liquids with
This lesson is on density of solids. It's one lesson of two. This lesson should be first since it introduces density but it can be revised and used after the density of liquids. The lesson has a short
Students will discover the many different facets of building a business including product research, marketing, finances, cost and profit analysis, product design and more.
Methane emissions are far more potent then CO2 emissions in the short-run in the atmosphere yet this is rarely covered in the media. Students will create a multi-media public service campaign to cover
Students will create an airplane model that goes the fastest and farthest from point A to Point B and collect data of their experiment. To create a multimedia presentation showing the design of each
Students examine the relationship between a ball's bounce height and its drop height to see a linear relationship. They then calculate the slope of their data to compare "bounciness" with other groups
Students think about dipping a cube in paint, then count the amount of faces that are painted (either 1, 2, 3, or none) they then make a table with the data and are asked to find any patterns they may
Students will construct paper bridges with pennies acting as weight to see the proportionality between the amount of pennies it takes to collapse the bridge. Students graph their results to see a
Using Vernier motion sensor technology (not included) students will model their position vs time on Vernier Graphical Analysis.
This lesson plan provides material for two 90-minute periods. Day one provides guided opportunities to explore chemical equations and day two consists of 10 hands-on stations practicing and applying
Students will build the distance formula in a spreadsheet to create a sort of "calculator." Students begin by comparing standard math notation with spreadsheets, then practice programming simple math
Students are presented with a real-world problem, the newly poured delivery ramp for the cafeteria is too slick, students are tasked with suggesting a surfacing that will increase the ramp's safety
In this activity and experiment SW use a table to organize information. Create a graph to display data, using correct labels. Recognize the relationship among the table, the graph, and the slope of a
The lesson introduces how the earth layers and the fossil record shows a relative time scale. The math concept of a function will be explored. Students will use cause and effect changes of Earth
