This lesson is based on the Fibonacci sequence. Overlapping concepts of pattern, repetition, structure, scale, proportions are considerations for constructing an artistic, math-based sculpture
In the lesson, students will be able to build and explore how fractional edge lengths impact the overall volume of a figure. Students will gain a tangible understanding of how fractional edges impact
An introduction to Kepler's 1st Law and ellipses. The lesson includes some guided notes for students as well as a hands on activity where students will draw, measure, explore, and conduct calculations
In this lesson, students will build irregular figures using Magna-Tiles. Students will collaborate, discuss, and debate with peers to find multiple ways to calculate the volume and surface areas of
In groups, students build models of volumes and surface areas with Magna-Tiles and learn to distinguish and verbalize the difference between these two mathematical concepts. Students then use the 3
Students determine the period of rotation for the flying pig toy using formulas derived throughout the circular motion unit.
Students carry out a lab activity to determine Hooke's Law and investigate spring constants.
Students will discover the relationship between mass and volume in relation to density through an inquiry lab. Students will take mass and volume data of several different solid substances and compare
Students will use a budget sheet to 'buy' materials for the challenge. They will be applying their knowledge of decimals to add up their total as well as critical thinking and problem solving skills
