A Mathematics Fantasy: The Million $ Mission
This math site has students study exponential growth. Students are provided with two payment options, one cent on the first day, two cents on the second day, and double their salary every day after that for the thirty days, or they can choose exactly one million dollars. Included are two versions, a one page version that has the calculations worked out and a multi-page version that is appropriate for printing so students can use their own calculations. An exponential growth graph, a formula to f
Coal mine safety : whose responsibility
This November 28, 2007 entry in the NSDL Expert Voices blog, Connecting News with National Science Education Standards deals with reported increases in coal mine accidents and insufficient government inspections and is related to NSES Personal and Social Perspectives and Science and Technology. Teachers can use this opportunity to discuss with students how politics impacts science, the role consumer demand for coal might play, and what mining engineers do. Additional links to teaching resources
Powering Smallsburg
In this activity, students act as power engineers by specifying the power plants to build for a community. They are given a budget, an expected power demand from the community, and different power plant options with corresponding environmental effects. They can work through this scenario as a class or on their own.
