Make Multiple Vectors Fun! Pirate Treasure Hunt - Physics, Trigonometry
This is one of my student’s favorite activities. Who doesn’t want to go outside and map out some vectors? It works well in physics or trigonometry for understanding how to add and subtract multiple vectors. 10 different maps are provided for student groups to make their way from a single point of origin to a designated, X-marks-the-spot, using compass headings of N, S, E, and W and specified distances. The groups all have a different path but end up at the same place. At the end, students dr

Art & Technology Education- Sustainable Design
Sustainability consists of practices using renewable natural resources, while taking caution not to deplete or damage the resources in the process of sustaining existence. Sustainable Design then is the approach to creating products and settings that promote that practice. The importance of sustainability in design cannot be emphasized enough. With all the environmental issues that we face in our society today, if we don’t take the bull by the horn and work as a whole to fight these issues, our

Math Lab: Investigating Volume/DISTANCE LEARNING/NO PREP
In the following lab, students enjoy a "hands-on" activity to learn the reasoning behind the formulas used in calculating for volume in two solids, the pyramid and the prism.
* Students draw the nets on poster board for a pyramid and a prism, given precise measurements.
* Students carefully cut the nets out and fold according to directions.
* Students use unpopped popcorn, uncooked rice, or dried beans to fill their solids.
* Students compare the volume of a pyramid and a prism with
