STEM Kid Engineering for GATE -- FERRIS WHEELS plus Primary Sources
In this GATE engineering journey, students will each construct a very cool Ferris wheel prototype as a final product. Along the way, they will examine primary source images, read primary source history, and integrate math, engineering, and economics in a learning process which incorporates best practices in gifted and talented education for 21st Century Learners.
This is a challenging engineering project—teacher guided. I used it for GATE 4th grade; however, my kids are experienced builders.

Zach's Eraser: Linear Functions and Line of Fit
This is an effective and thought-provoking way to helps students apply functions to real situations. The resulting function shows a negative slope. Though it is a simple linear function, the data is not perfect, so a line of fit must be employed. Because it is based on real data, even students who have only a beginning experience with functions can understand the concepts and mathematics. The lesson can incorporate slope-intercept and point-slope forms as well as independent and dependent variab

Trundle Wheels -- Free! Hands-on Applied Math and Map Skills
Trundle wheels are a simplified version of a surveyor’s wheel. In this basic student edition of the trundle wheel, students roll their own version of trundle wheels across all sorts of things. They work especially well to measure curved surfaces or for applying a map’s scale of miles on highways.
A bonus to using trundle wheels in the classroom is that students must apply math skills to convert their measurements from the revolutions of the trundle wheel to yards, feet, inches, meters, centim
