Today I want to share with you another great resource for math in your science. I discovered Yummy Math sometime during the last school year and it is really good stuff! I like to just see what is up on the home page because it always has seasonal items and current events right there. However, you can always search the site for topics that relate to what you are studying right now.
This is primarily middle school math, but you could modify the activities for younger kids. Lots of pre-algebra skills and beyond. Last year my then 7th grader was graphing lines and conic sections...how can you go wrong with an activity that asks your student to graph the parabola he is going to make as he shovels snow in the driveway? How?
Here are a few fine examples so you can have a guided glimpse!
- Hurricanes
- Earthquakes- this one popped up after the funky east coast earthquake from August
- Why Does It Stay in Orbit? a look at how the space shuttle stays in orbit in honor of Endeavor's last launch
- The Geometry of Flooding
Thanks for stopping by. If you have another resource to share, please leave a comment. I'd love to hear from you!

I have not had much time to thoroughly read blogs lately, but I hope to set aside some time soon to read through your "10 days" posts. They all look very helpful! Thank you for all the time you must have put in to these.
