| Rational Numbers Student ActivityIn the third segment of the Right Ratio of Rest: Proportional Reasoning, Jennifer Pulley explains three types of rational numbers: Fractions, Decimals and Percents. Jennifer also describes ratios and proportions. In the third segment students at Cole Middle School conduct an activity in which they record and graph sleep data in different ways. The third segment ends with an inquiry based question posed by Derek Wang comparing time on Earth to time on Neptune.Grades 6-8 Mathematics |
| Rocket to the Stars-Program Hands On ActivitySecond segment of Rocket to the Stars contains a preview of the Program's Hands on Activity which allows students to investigate the relationship between height a marble is released and distance a milk carton will travel once the marble hits the milk carton.Grades 6-8 Science | Mathematics |
| Rocket to the Stars-Work and EnergyFirst segment of Rocket to the Stars defines work and energy using the concepts of force, motion, distance, mass, height, and gravity. The work and energy segment covers the Gravitational Potential energy,and Kiinetic Energy equations. The Work and Energy segment next provides a problem that involves the calculation of the Kinetic Energy of 2 different rovers on the planet Mars.Grades 6-8 Science | Mathematics |
| Coordinate SystemThird segment of NASA Connect Hidden Treasures explaining the number lines and the rectangular coordinate system. This segment provides an interactive activity where students draw a number line and graph points on the number line. After graphing points on the number line the students are asked to draw a rectangular coordinate system and graph coordinate pairs in the four quadrants. Next the segment describes how rectangular coordinate systems are used in maps. The segment ends with a student exercise where students use covered shoe boxes to identify the topography of an environment their classmates created.Grades 6-8 Mathematics |
| Stress Type and Data AnalysisFirst segment of Good Stress explains the three types of stress: physical, mental and emotional. The first segment next asks students a series of inquiry based question about data. The first segment continues with an explanation of how data is collected, organized, analyzed and why data analysis is important. The Good Stress segment explains what scatter plots are and how graphing these plots show different trends. The first segment contains an activity that asks students to determine the trend in a scatter plot.Grades 6-8 Mathematics |
| Program Hands On ActivityThird segment contains a program hands on activity that explores the effect of stress on muscles in the hand. The program hands on activity reviews scatterplots, box and whisker plots and stem and leaf plots.Grades 6-8 Mathematics |
| X Plane Ratios and TPSNASA Connect segment explaining the X-Plane, scale model, and Venture Star. The video also explores a Thermal Protection System, or TPS and gives examples of this.Grades 3-5 | 6-8 Science | Mathematics |
| X33 Model ActivityNASA Connect segment involving students in an activity exploring the design of a paper scale model of the X-33. The objectives of the activity involve measuring the linear dimensions of the model and comparing them, and computing a scale factor.Grades 3-5 | 6-8 Science | Mathematics |
| Model TestingNASA Connect segment explaining how models are tested to create more efficient designs. The video explores the new X-33 engine and explains what engineers learn from scale models.Grades 3-5 | 6-8 Science | Mathematics |
| Algebra and ArraysNASA Connect segment exploring how algebra and arrays are used in NASA's activities. The segment also explains voltage, current, amp, and resistance.Grades 3-5 | 6-8 Science | Mathematics |
