Slope calculation
Examine the graph of two points in the plane. Find the slope of the line that passes through the two points. Drag the points and investigate the changes to the slope and to the coordinates of the points.
Inside a Seed
This image from Biology by Kenneth R. Miller and Joseph Levine illustrates the five most important parts of a seed: the seed coat, the endosperm, and the embryos primary root, cotyledon, and embryonic leaves.
The Homestead Act of 1862
The Homestead Act of 1862 - Imagine that you can’t feed your family, or maybe you risk persecution for your political or religious beliefs. But, suddenly, you hear the call: Come along to make a new life in a wide-open land. In a few years, you’ll own that land, for yourself and your descendents, free, and forever. This offer turned out to be a cornerstone in the very foundation of America’s heartland.(03:31)
Wemberly Worried by Kevin Henkes Read A Loud
In this video, students will meet a mouse named Wemberly. She worries too much. She has a list of worries. Wemberly worries about everything especially about her first day of nursery school. She meets a new friend Jewel at school. This is a good companion teaching resource for reading Kevin Henkes books in the classroom. It helps to bring literary characters to life. Content is appropriate for elementary students. (2:46)
4.4.1 FTTCab, FTTC, FTTB and hybrid coaxial fibre
Optical-fibre communications became commercially viable in the 1970s and innovation continues today. This unit will illustrate how very high data rates can be transmitted over long distances through optical fibres. You will learn how these fibres are linked, examine the technology used and assess the future direction of this continually developing area of communication.
4.4 Fibre in the access network
Optical-fibre communications became commercially viable in the 1970s and innovation continues today. This unit will illustrate how very high data rates can be transmitted over long distances through optical fibres. You will learn how these fibres are linked, examine the technology used and assess the future direction of this continually developing area of communication.
Wind Chimes
Using their knowledge of physics, students will build a wind chime. Mathematical computations will be done to determine the length of the pipes.
Improve the System
This activity will lead your class through identifying possible solutions to the design problems that the current west corridor of FasTracks faces. The students will combine what they have learned from all three previous activities to come up with possible solutions to the design problems faced by the system. This activity requires the use of the FasTracks Living Lab.
Objectives for Section 3
This unit will help you to understand the forms of data that are handled by software and look at the various processes that can be applied to the data. These ideas are demonstrated through the use of a supermarket till and illustrate how simple data sets can be manipulated.
Fibonacci Sequence Activity
NASA Connect segment involving students in an activity that explores the Fibonacci Sequence. The segment explores ratios, measurements, and proportionalities.
Animated Storybook: Rob Goes Missing
In this animated storybook, one of the characters becomes lost during a game of hide and seek. The animals work together remaining calm and using problem-solving skills to find him. The words of the story appear on each page and are highlighted as they are read. ( 8:23)
Animated Storybook: Ben's Musical Adventure
In this animated storybook, Ben, the mouse, decides he would like to learn to play a musical instrument. He becomes discouraged when he cannot immediately play the violin well. He wants to stop, but he is convinced to keep trying. This video teaches patience and perseverance. The words of the story appear on each page and are highlighted as they are read. ( 8:23)
