STEM Kid Engineering for GATE -- FERRIS WHEELS plus Primary Sources
In this GATE engineering journey, students will each construct a very cool Ferris wheel prototype as a final product. Along the way, they will examine primary source images, read primary source history, and integrate math, engineering, and economics in a learning process which incorporates best practices in gifted and talented education for 21st Century Learners.
This is a challenging engineering project—teacher guided. I used it for GATE 4th grade; however, my kids are experienced builders.

The Seven Bridges of Konigsberg - An Introduction to Graph Theory
This historical important problem shows students that important ideas - like graph theory - can spring from the most straightforward looking applications. How do you device a walk that passes through each of those seven bridges in Konigsberg (now Kaliningrad) once and only once. Although the problem looks simple, there was not an appropriate tool for analyzing it and therefore nobody knew what could be the solution - until Euler came...

Zach's Eraser: Linear Functions and Line of Fit
This is an effective and thought-provoking way to helps students apply functions to real situations. The resulting function shows a negative slope. Though it is a simple linear function, the data is not perfect, so a line of fit must be employed. Because it is based on real data, even students who have only a beginning experience with functions can understand the concepts and mathematics. The lesson can incorporate slope-intercept and point-slope forms as well as independent and dependent variab
