Peer reviewedHein, Annamae J. – Science Activities, 2002
Presents a hurricane evacuation project in which students use reading, math, and problem solving skills while engaging in a hands-on multitask problem. (YDS)
Descriptors: Hands on Science, Hurricanes, Integrated Activities, Mathematics Education
Peer reviewedPark, Do-Yong – Science Activities, 1998
Presents an activity in which students address a problem that allows them to use satellite images and fishing charts to predict where and how to fish, realize the need for conversion data, and discuss how satellite images can be used to exploit wildlife. Contains 16 references. (DDR)

Peer reviewedSchlenker, Richard M.; Schlenker, Karl R. – Science Activities, 1997
Details an activity in which students are challenged to consider real-world problems. Students collect and organize data on two fish species, examine the data mathematically, draw conclusions about the organisms with which they work, and extrapolate the results to other environments. (DDR)

Peer reviewedCallison, Priscilla L.; Wright, Emmett L. – Science Activities, 1997
These activities focus on the unifying concept of faster-moving fluids lowering fluid pressure. Students are able to visualize and measure the dynamics of fluid pressure with the hands-on approach of these activities, which helps to develop conceptual understanding. Activities are organized to show many examples of the same concept to reveal…
