  1. NASA, NSIDC and NASCAR Presented by: Ellen Falk North Salem Middle High School www.mathizaverb.com

  2. NASA • President Dwight D. Eisenhower established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1958, partially in response to the Soviet Union's launch of the first artificial satellite the previous year. NASA grew out of the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA), which had been researching flight technology for more than 40 years.

  3. NASA FOR EDUCATORS • It all starts here: • http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/index.html • Sample- math and science-vomit comet • http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/mathandscience/exploration/index.html • EXPLORING SPACE THROUGH MATH SERIES • http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/exploringmath/home/index.html

  4. CONNECT TO 5 e’S • Bone Density Example • http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/exploringmath/algebra1/Prob_BoneDensity_detail.html • Educator guide- • Video • Student Activity

  5. OTHER NASASOURCES • Space Math – Dr.StenOdenwald • Launching point to the home site • Tons of information. • http://spacemath.gsfc.nasa.gov/SpaceMath.html • Educator Guide – Space Math VII • http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/topnav/materials/listbytype/Space_Math_VII.html

  7. National Snow and Ice Data Center

  8. What questions would YOU ask?

  9. Data in Context September average sea ice extent for 2013 was the sixth lowest in the satellite record. The 2012 September extent was 32% lower than this year’s extent, while the 1981 to 2010 average was 22% higher than this year’s extent. Through 2013, the September linear rate of decline is 13.7% per decade relative to the 1981 to 2010 average. Figure 3. Monthly September ice extent for 1979 to 2013 shows a decline of 13.7% per decade.Credit: National Snow and Ice Data Center High-resolution image

  10. Interactive Graph

  11. How to get the Data • Go to Data • Easy To Use Data Products • Sea Ice Index • Select FTP • Save data as a TEXT file. • Use MS Excel to open

  12. Sample Data- September Sea Ice Extent

  13. Linear Regression

  14. PBS Learning Media • Free Resource for teachers • Changed from Teacher’s Domain (oct 17th) • All my resources were deleted. ;( • Working on contacting PBS • http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/shared/ellenfalk/math-modeling/

  15. NASCAR • Home site • How the “Chase” began 101 • The Tracks • http://www.nascar.com/races/tracks/ • The Logos on the cars • http://auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-racing/nascar/nascar-basics/nascar-sponsorship2.htm

  16. External Sources • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daytona_500

  17. The End! • Motivations for student and teacher-Tired of boring textbook problems? • Real and Relevant-How can you connect it to CCLS? • Math has meaning-Why am I learning this? • Curiosity and Motivation
