"The site includes really well done lessons, activities, practice pages (online), study aids, glossary, and word problems. Algebra Lab is like a free, living textbook. It has enough substance to help students work their way through algebra, while understanding the connections to how that algebra is used in a practical sense."

"the study of linear algebra, the theory and practice of analyzing linear relations and their behavior under linear transformations. Practically every modern technology relies on linear algebra: simplifying the computations required for internet searches, 3-D animation, coordination of safety systems, financial trading, air traffic control, and everything in between. Five major topics are addressed: linear systems of equations, vector spaces, matrices and linear transformations, determinants, similarity, and eigenvalues. This free course may be completed online at any time."

Get free, daily practice problems in Physics! AP Physics is challenging, but anyone, with sufficient time and practice, can master the material on the College Board's AP Physics exams. Are you preparing for the AP Physics exam, or looking for study resources? Whether you're a homeschooling student in need of online resources, or just in need of a little tutoring to help you review material covered in your class, you'll find lots of resources

"the word "practices" to "stress that engaging in scientific inquiry requires coordination both of knowledge and skill simultaneously." Even young children can learn science content knowledge, such as "water can exist as a gas, a liquid and a solid", and science skills, such as making observations to find out."

"Students understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior. a. Advocate and practice safe, legal and responsible use of information and technology. b. Exhibit a positive attitude toward using technology that supports collaboration, learning and productivity. c. Demonstrate personal responsibility for lifelong learning. d. Exhibit leadership for digital citizenship."

description of the 8 practices and the science and engineering implementation / application

"The general idea is like a workshop," said Luke. "We've gotten rid of tutorials and the labs and now students have a two-hour practical session every week." Each of the new spaces has nine work tables called pods that bring students together in groups of four. The pods have the apparatus students require to perform experiments, including a computer with a wall-mounted monitor; whiteboard or tempered glass for working out equations; and a webcam. "

"A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas"

"AeroLab lessons feature simple foam and balsa aircraft as tools to teach the concepts of force and motion, potential/kinetic energy and centripetal force. The activities allow students to practice important math skills to determine average speed and distance flown. All labs are aligned with middle school physical science and math standards and are "S.T.E.M. Compliant." The labs feature conceptual activities in the physical sciences to provide opportunities for students to make predictions, collect data, graph results and draw conclusions, as well as participate in lessons designed for directed and guided inquiry."

"Citizen Science is an online flash-based computer adventure game in which the player is a young adult who becomes concerned about the health of a local lake threatened by eutrophication. Based at Lake Mendota in Madison, WI, the player�s goal is to restore the lake. By focusing on the ecological needs of Lake Mendota as well as the surrounding community, the game is able to bring together real-world issues and scientific practices. "

"Promotes engineering thinking and practice in formal and informal educational settings for pre-K through high school aged students, their teachers, group leaders, and caregivers. We also engage in shared scholarship to determine better ways to accomplish our goals, assess our impacts, and evaluate our progress. We seek to open the doors to engineering to all young people as a future career or as a way of finding solutions to everyday challenges."

"Using simple, everyday materials, marshmallows and toothpicks, your students can build marshmallow structures. They practice math skills by adding together materials used to get the total number. This product offers background information to set the stage for this science and math project - talk about plate tectonics, earthquakes and why they occur, etc. Through this project, the students will learn about earthquakes and seismic testing of buildings."

"explore forces acting on an object, to practice graphing experimental data, and/or to introduce the algebra concepts of slope and intercept of a line. A wooden 2x4 beam is set on top of two scales. Students learn how to conduct an experiment by applying loads at different locations along the beam, recording the exact position of the applied load and the reaction forces measured by the scales at each end of the beam"

"Portals → Technology → Engineering - The Engineering Portal Engineering is the application of science, technology, mathematics, art, and practical experience to the design and production of objects, tools or processes."

"Articles and Editorials that help you step up to STEM. Practical advice on integrating common core standards, assessments, class room management, and growing STEM awareness in your school."

"This introductory, algebra-based, two-semester college physics book is grounded with real-world examples, illustrations, and explanations to help students grasp key, fundamental physics concepts. This online, fully editable and customizable title includes learning objectives, concept questions, links to labs and simulations, and ample practice opportunities to solve traditional physics application problems.
