In this video segment from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad and Digit construct a physical profile of the person who kidnapped Choocroca, a giant cybercrocodile.
Learners explore the concepts of rate and ratio in a variety of problem-solving situations. Worksheets contain definitions and visual representations of concepts. Link to related ratio game. Other skills include measurement, data analysis, and number sense. Acrobat Reader required.
This site examines the specific difference between mass and weight in addition to length, temperature, and time.
Accuracy of measurement in navigation depends very much on the situation. If a sailor's target is an island 200 km wide, sailing off center by 10 or 20 km is not a major problem. But, if the island were only 1 km wide, it would be missed if off just the smallest bit. Many of the measurements made while navigating involve angles, and a small error in the angle can translate to a much larger error in position when traveling long distances.
The CyberSquad proves that the area of Hacker's land is equal to the area of Judge Trudy's land in this video segment from Cyberchase.

Khan Academy learning modules include a Community space where users can ask questions and seek help from community members. Educators should consult with their Technology administrators to determine the use of Khan Academy learning modules in their classroom. Please review materials from external sites before sharing with students.
In this Cyberchase video segment, Matt uses subtraction to help Digit figure out how much time he has left in a cooking contest with Hacker.
Blossom and Snappy decide to plant a garden. They go to Calloway Gardens to learn about different types of plants and flowers, as well as butterflies and hummingbirds.
Blossom and Snappy help Digit mail a surprise package to Robbie. They visit the post office and postal processing plant to see how it all works.
Blossom and Snappy discover a new window that Robbie put in the garage and decide to measure it. They discover the difference of standard measurement and non-standard measurement while making candies and during their visits to McDonald's and Gorin's Ice Cream.
Blossom and Snappy decide to surprise Robbie by making her a pumpkin pie using math in some creative ways. They visit a pumpkin farm, dairy farm, and a dairy plant, finding out all the ways math is used in each of these places.
Blossom and Snappy visit the zoo and compare the animals in many different ways including size and where they come from. They write thank you notes to Robbie for the bathrobes she made from them, but Snappy has a difficult time finishing his. Digit finishes Snappy's letter to Robbie, and Robbie thinks that Snappy wrote it.
Numbers can be used to both count and to measure. Watch the video for an explanation of the differences.
Students will be using a hands-on approach to learning about length, capacity, and weight. This lesson contains a detailed plan, slides containing notes and problems, and a video tutorial.
In this video segment from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad and Digit construct a physical profile of the person who kidnapped Choocroca, a giant cybercrocodile. [2:49]
Student teams design and create LEGO® structures to house and protect temperature sensors. They leave their structures in undisturbed locations for a week, and regularly check and chart the temperatures. This activity engages students in the design and analysis aspects of engineering.
The CyberSquad tracks Digital position in time and then studies graphs to figure out what Hacker is scheming in this video from Cyberchase.
The purpose of this task is to illustrate through an absurd example the fact that in real life quantities are reported to a certain level of accuracy, and it does not make sense to treat them as having greater accuracy.
This Dinosaur Train video will help children foster the understanding of heredity: inheritance and variation of traits. Buddy and Daphne compare how they are similar and different. Included are printable dinosaur fact cards. [0:54]
