Grade-Level Information ~ General Sequence of Information

Our team consists of three middle-school teachers (science and math) and one high school (Physics) teacher.  Two of the most important criteria for us in its development was that it meet our state course of study guidelines for math and science and that all of us could use these in our classes.

With the possible exception of the Mathematica component, it is felt that all of the lessons, activities, and models would be appropriate for grades 8 - 12.  To complete the mathematical models, the user would need STELLA software and some spreadsheet software.

Grades 8-12
 
  • Exploratory activities/labs (science)
  • Project Assignment and presentation
  • STELLA model
  • Excel model
  • "Stomp Rocket" activity
Grades 10-12
 
  • Mathematica tutorials
  All of these (above) activities are available for review and download from the Activities link.
