by: Ron Hull, Stephen Maloy, and Julia Sullivan


5. Image Is Everything

The purpose of this unit is to teach students to use NASA's (& other) remotely sensed images to enhance their learning through the integration of mathematics and science concepts. This will be achieved by a series of lessons on digital images, ground truthing, and fractals (fractional dimensions).   (image.doc)

by: Cindy Mahan, Scott Nelson, and Glenn Stephens


6. Reflections of Science

Students will discover the different types of mirrors, their properties and some of their applications.   (reflect.doc)


**NOTE to teachers: These lesson plans were were originally developed as word processing documents. They have been converted here to HTML for display in internet browsers. However, due to technical and time limitations, the layout (fonts, spacing, graphics, etc.) does not exactly match that of the original document. If you like what you see generally in the internet-readable version, and wish to use the information in the classroom or elsewhere, you should download the Word for Windows 95 version 6.0 compatible document, listed with each lesson plan on this page as a .doc file. Just right-click the desired .doc file, choose Save Link As, and pick a place to put it on your hard drive. The .doc documents are the actual files as designed by the teachers in STEP.
