| 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 |
| 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 |
| Energy, Motion and ProportionalityNASA Connect segment explaining energy and motion. The video also explains how proportionality works and how models are tested.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 |
| Measurement and Graphing ActivityNASA Connect segment involving students in an activity that uses concepts such as measurement, data collection, and graphing. The activity also studies the concepts of acceleration, position, and velocity.Grades 3-5 | 6-8 Science | Mathematics |
| Scale Model ActivityNASA Connect segment involving students in a classroom activity that uses graphing, measurement, and ratios to construct a scaled model of the Solar System.Grades 6-8 Science | Mathematics |
| ParallaxNASA Connect segment explaining how scientists determined the distance between the earth and the sun. The video also explores the geometric technique called parallax.Grades 6-8 Science | Mathematics |
| Drag ActivityNASA Connect Segment involving students in an activity to create a wind tunnel to test the effect of drag while emphasizing data analysis.Grades 6-8 Science | Mathematics |
