In this structured inquiry activity students will work in groups/ teams to build a balloon rocket of their own design. The rocket will race in one dimension and require that they apply their knowledge of position, time, and velocity.

This tutorial for students new to algebra provides explanations, definitions, examples, and practice problems. The practice tests cover topics such as real numbers, fractions, equations, graphing, and exponents.

This activity is a scientific investigation focusing on inquiry after using the Foss Water Kit. The students will pose a question, create a procedure and produce a poster showing their findings.

Bert and Ernie are off on another great adventure. This time, they're putting on a magic show. This resource focuses on problem solving and asking questions. [5:07]

Climbing a mountain, you reach the greatest height at the top. What about a math mountain? The graphic can help students solve for a missing number.

How can you fix Nana's chocolate milk? Students work on this problem over time to develop a final product that demonstrates their mathematical thinking and solution.

This activity is an introduction to the study of birds. Students will gain observation and classification skills.

This guided inquiry activity, in which ice is used to boil water in a Florence flask, works well in the introductory class to a chemistry or physical science course. The students will learn the difference between observation and inference and apply this understanding to various other situations in which observations and inferences must be made. The students will also use outside sources to try to explain why the activity worked.

In this video from the Teaching Channel, 6th grade science teacher Channa Comer introduces her students to the engineering design process. Using eggs as model heads, students design and test football helmets to prevent injury to the "brains." Students then apply their neuroscience knowledge to the design process by analyzing the "injuries" and what the real-life medical outcomes would be. [9:43]

This interactive activity, from the Web site developed for the PBS series "Building Big," use your knowledge of bridge design to match the right bridge location in a fictitious city.

Working as if they are engineers who work for (the hypothetical) Build-a-Toy Workshop company, students apply their imaginations and the engineering design process to design and build prototype toys with moving parts. They set up electric circuits using batteries, wire and motors. They create plans for project material expenses to meet a budget.

Choose from several videos that center around social skills such as making friends, solving problems, and working together for a common goal.

A bungee jump involves jumping from a tall structure while connected to a large elastic cord. Design a bungee jump that is "safe" for a hard-boiled egg. Create a safety egg harness and connect it to a rubber band, which is your the "bungee cord." Finally, attach your bungee cord to a force sensor to measures the forces that push or pull your egg.
