Student Activity

	Sort by Title
	Rational Numbers Student Activity In 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
	Observatories Second segment of NASA Connect Ancient Observatories explaining how the height of the sun relates to the growing seasons and the length of daylight. This segment describes how Ancient Egyptian and Greek cultures used astronomy in their lives. Grades 6-8 Science \| History-Social Science
	Mayan Astronomy Fourth segment of NASA Connect Ancient Observatories describing the Ancient Mayan civilization and their accomplishments. This segment compares the Mayan counting system to the Roman counting system and has a brief exercise for students to add the numbers 21 and 33 using both systems. Grades 6-8 Science \| History-Social Science
	X33 Model Activity NASA 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
	Angles and Direction Experiment NASA Connect Segment involving students in an activity that investigates angles and direction. Video asks question pertaining to the research and data gathered in the experiment. Grades K-2 \| 3-5 \| 6-8 Science
	Make It Go Activity NASA Connect segment involving students in an activity called Make It Go which simulates NASA research. It uses an Electrodynamic Demonstration Unit to investigate electricity and magnetism. Grades 3-5 \| 6-8 Science
	Electricity and Magnetism NASA Connect segment involving students in an online activity that investigates a physics module on electricity and magnetism. The activity studies static charge, moving charge, voltage, resistance, and current. Grades 3-5 \| 6-8 \| 9-12 Science
	Measurement and Graphing Activity NASA 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 Activity NASA 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
	Kite Student Activity NASA Connect segment involving students in an activity investigating kites and their impact on the early stages of flight. The activity uses math concepts such as geometric shapes, aspect ratios, and area. Grades 6-8 Mathematics
