This lesson plan helps students understand exponential functions by using an LED circuit. LED luminosity decreases at an exponential rate as more are added in series. As students add more lights to
The lesson is primarily about building a Lego or any block tower with a good foundation. This can be done in a group of 5 - 7 students. In my case I am considering 7th and 8th grade class to perform
An investigation into the function and uses of solar panels in agriculture - Agrivoltaics. Exploring how to get the most efficient use of your solar panels for your gardens.
Students from the Trigonometry class can construct the Sundial and see the Experimental application of Trigonometry. Student will not just delve into the trigonometry, but they will also see the
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.
This is a high-school level hands-on project that allows students to build their own working sundial, make predictions and assess their accuracy. This lesson ties in with the study of Kepler's Laws.
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 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 determine the period of rotation for the flying pig toy using formulas derived throughout the circular motion unit.
Classes will build three different types of rockets, guess which style will have the highest altitude, launch and calculate results based on right triangle 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
The first part of this lesson reviews the area and perimeter of squares and rectangles using graph paper. Algebraic representations are introduced and students define variables and write equations
This lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to experimental design and analysis leading students to develop the graphical and mathematical relationships for accelerated motion, or kinematics.
In this lesson the students will apply the knowledge of thermal energy to design, build and test a container that keeps cold beverages cold.
In this lesson the students will learn to identify some common household substances whether it is acid or base using red cabbage juice.
This lesson plan describes the different process points of construction of a Truss Bridge and why these bridges are useful. This lesson plan includes objectives, assessments and some samples of Truss
This lesson plan focuses on the use of several materials to create a rocket and a launcher. Remodel the rocket as needed to validate Newton’s third law of motion and projectile motion.
This a hands on activity that will have the students measure the frequency of a resonating glass bottle by using their cells phones. They will then combine with other groups to play a well known song
Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
