Cross Curricular Linear Relationships + Science PBL Lesson
Kids use science tools, math equations, and prior knowledge to see how math can help real people come to conclusions. This video is very hands on. It requires a water measuring device, a dropper, access to computers and headphones, and an open mind. This took one 90 minute period for my algebra 1 students to complete. Students watch a video of water dropping and use that to ultimately determine how much water is wasted over time.

Algebra 1 - Performance Task - Young Earth Creationism - Common Core
This project asks students to consider how population might have grown if the Biblical theory of young earth creationism is true (Earth is between 6,000 and 10,000 years old). The main topic from algebra is exponential growth. Students would benefit from the use of a graphing calculator throughout this project due to the large numbers and modeling problems. This project is one you definitely will not find in an Algebra Book and is meant to apply algebra to a real life debate. Enjoy.
