Inverse Functions: Pennies, Pressure, Temperature, and Light
Source Institutions
The major goal of this math lesson is to have learners collect data from a variety of experiments, determine what models best fits their data, and explain why their models are best.

Shake it up with Seismographs!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

Bobbing Eyeballs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple materials and basic tools to construct a special toy to explore pendulums. As the head of the toy bobs one way, the eyeballs bob the other way.

Pendulum Snake
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners assemble and/or investigate a pendulum "snake." Several large steel hex-nuts are suspended on strings of successively increasing length to form a series of pendulums
