Young scholars complete a lab that introduce the scientific concept of climate on Earth. Following the lab, they complete further research on climate. Using average monthly temperatures students construct a mathematical model and analyze...

Students compile a list of items on which a person can spend money, categorize a list of items based upon similarities, and solve mathematical problems based upon given scenarios.

Pupils figure out how to arrange seating in a concert hall given specific requirements. They better explain how dividing can allow us to arrive at mathematical solutions quickly and logically.

Learners find the relationship between the variables based on experimental data. They determine mathematical relationship between pH and the amount of hydrogen Ions in solution.

Students develop a process for analyzing collected bayou data. They find the mathematical relationships among various biological factors. Students, work collaboratively using technology in their data analysis.

Fourth graders engage in and explore to develop mathematical, specifically algebraic, ideas. Although the tasks are built around measurement, they are algebraic to the extent that they require 'formulae' to be derived form the geometric...

Students analyze and integrate mathematical concepts within the context of social studies. They gather, present and analyze information on a bar graph, pie chart, etc. Students compute ratios. They demonstrate that ratios have real-world...

Fourth graders research the use of handcarts as a form of transportation for mid-19th century Mormon pioneers. They write mathematical story problems about this unique form of transportation and incorporate their researched data.

High schoolers develop an understanding of related weather processes such as wind, cloud cover, and temperature using STEDII data and instrumentation. In addition, they integrate mathematical calculations to produce a forecast map.

Students analyze and calculate expenses using the historic Horatio's road trip. Mathematics is taught using a cross curricular approach.

Tenth graders use the mathematical program, MATHEMATICA and graph linear and quadratic equations. They sketch the graph of an equation manually. Students compare their sketch with the computer generated model of the graph.

Students explore earth epochs, i.e, Permian, Precambrian, Cambrian, Ordivician and through pictures they see what life on Earth and animals looked like. They organize Earth Epochs according to years going from greatest to least...

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...
