| 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 |
| 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 |
