Future physicists pump up the volume while discovering the world of sound waves. Group members learn about the qualities of sound waves, the relationship between energy and sound volume, and the definition of amplitude while viewing an...

Apply slopes and not slipping. Learners discover the relationship between slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. Individuals use that information to find equations of lines through a given point that is either parallel or...

Four lessons spotlight a variety of professions while boosting listening and observational skills and making inferences. Lesson one challenges pupils to group cards based on a commonality then justify the relationship they see....

Light, distance, and mathematics come together to help scientists plan for space missions. Groups examine the relationship between distance from the sun and light availability in a hands-on exploration activity. They model the inverse...

Introduce a special relationship with right triangles. Learners discover the ratio of the sides in a 30-60-90 triangle. After watching several examples and seeing two different methods, pupils find unknown sides in triangles. Scholars...

Show learners that right triangles are radical. Learners see how the lengths of the sides of a 45-45-90 triangle relate. Using that relationship, pupils observe how to find any of the lengths given one side of a triangle. They go on to...

Shared values are often the keystone in friendships. Class pairs use their "Values" handout from a previous lesson and interview one another to identify values they share and don't share. Then, consider how their differences contribute...
