CK12.ORG – Right Triangle Trigonometry
“In this chapter, we will first prove the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse, followed by analyzing the sides of certain types of triangles. Then, we will introduce trigonometry, which starts with the tangent, sine and cosine ratios. Finally, we will extend sine and cosine to any triangle, through the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines. “

History and changes – k-12math.info
“K-12math.info is a bibliographic information system used by elementary and secondary school mathematics material developers, teacher trainers, resource professionals and home schooling parents.
K-12math.info uses a list of 1,000 of the most common terms that appear in elementary and secondary school student editions of mathematics textbooks. It tracks which textbook contain which terms, on what page (for OER materials a link to where the term can be found), for what grade level, and how the term is being used. Information has been collected since the early 1970’s to the present Open Education Resource (OER) textbooks series. And displayed in a spreadsheet format. “ -
12 year old’s world – K-12math.info
“Life outside the classroom for the seventh grader ( age 12).
Why does mathematics exist?
Every learning community has a need to quantify some aspects in its environment. Its language(s), economic and social environment determines how much content will be adopted and adapted to meet those aspects. Unfortunately increase globalization is bringing about changes. “ -

NASA – Supernova Remnant SNR 0509 Lithograph
Supernova Remnant SNR 0509 Lithograph — Grades 11-12
The Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of what appears to be a delicate bubble of gas floating in space. The bubble is the visible remnant of a powerful stellar explosion that took place in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy about 160,000 light-years from Earth. The image of the supernova remnant is on the first page of the lithograph, and background information is on the second page. The lithograph includes a Level One Inquiry activity entitled “In Search of … Supernova Remnants” in which students research supernovae and dispel misconceptions of the life cycle of stars. -

Solar System Magnetism Demonstration — Grades 5-8
The big idea of this demonstration is that the sun and Earth have different magnetic properties. Sunspots are related to magnetism on the sun. Earth has a strong simple magnetic field with two poles. The educator builds the magnetic fields using polystyrene spheres, strong magnets and staples. Then the participants make “field detectors” from simple objects to predict the locations of the fields. -

Watch SynthNet in Action! | ToniWestbrook.com
“videos demonstrating SynthNet in action have been posted to YouTube! In the first clip, I demonstrate growing a brain from virtual DNA, hooking into my Lego robotic buddy Bit, and then conditioning Bit to associate hearing a tone with getting his touch sensor pressed. The demonstration is a recreation of classic fear conditioning experiments.”

CraftStudio – Real-time collaborative game-making — Indiegogo
“CraftStudio is a multiplayer platform to create games and interactive movies. It’s about empowering gamers and blurring the line between playing and creating.
It makes a few trade-offs (a low-poly, pixel-arty look) to allow gamers with no particular experience to:
Create, paint and animate 3D models (characters, objects) out of blocks.
Craft infinite maps (think Minecraft’s creative mode), painting your own blocks to create whatever universe you want.
Give life to their worlds using a visual scripting system.It’s all real-time, you can collaborate with friends or strangers over the Internet. You can set up your own server or join an existing project.”

4 To-Dos for the “Someday” Entrepreneur | The Daily Muse
“the factors that determine which “someday” entrepreneurs will actually become business owners, and which will continue to say “I wish” for years to come. Surprisingly, the ability to take the plunge has a lot less to do with people’s personalities, and a lot more to do with how accessible and familiar the experience of entrepreneurship is to them. Those who can picture themselves running a business often do.”

First Moon Landing 1969 – YouTube
“The video of the very first moon landing of the apollo 11 mission in 1969! Neil Armstrong was the first man to set foot on the moon with his now legenday words “One small step for man, a giant leap for mankind.” This is a truly amazing video and it was in 1969!!! If you think about it, you have orders of magnitude more processing power in your mobile phone than they did in the whole space craft!! Incredible!”

Airships USS Akron and USS Macon | Flying Aircraft Carriers of the US Navy
“The United States Navy airships U.S.S. Akron (ZRS-4) and U.S.S. Macon (ZRS-5) were designed for long-range scouting in support of fleet operations. Often referred to as flying aircraft carriers, each ship carried F9C-2 Curtiss Sparrowhawk biplanes which could be launched and recovered in flight, greatly extending the range over which the Akron and Macon could scout the open ocean for enemy vessels.”

“The Hindenburg was the first airliner to provide regularly scheduled service between Europe and North America.
While the airship is better remembered for the fiery Hindenburg disaster of 1937 than for its many technological achievements, it was the fastest and most comfortable way to cross the Atlantic in its day.”
