Comparing Unit Rates Lesson Plan: Unit Rates
Posted by jglassman on
In this middle school lesson plan students use an interactive simulation called Unit Rates to compare prices by identifying multiplicative relationships....
Unit Rates Simulation Overview for Teachers
Posted by jglassman on
In this sim, students interact with the unit rate in the contexts of price per item, price per pound, and speed. They develop strategies to use the unit rate to solve problems, and leverage ...

Projectile Motion Simulation Overview for Teachers
Posted by jglassman on
In this sim, students investigate the the factors that affect a projectile’s trajectory, such as angle, height, initial speed, and air resistance....
Projectile Motion Video Primer
Posted by jglassman on
This video primer is an introduction to the Projectile Motion simulation’s features and uses. Since sims are designed to be exploratory, this video is recommended for teacher viewing only....
Pendulum Lab Simulation Overview for Teachers
Posted by jglassman on
In this sim, students play with pendulums and discover which factors (e.g., length, mass, gravity, angle) affect motion. Then they design controlled experiments that they take to the moon to determine...
