Fall of Javert
In this task, students must use quadratic functions to determine how high the bridge was that Javert, from Les Miserable, fell from in order for him to be able to sing for the full 8 second interval. Students will then explore this further with two additional project tasks.
This task includes:
1. Task Description
2. Teacher Instructions
3. Student Handouts
4. Sample Approaches and Conclusion

Good Eats
This unit includes an unit overview and 3 subunit overviews with built-in lessons.
Unit description from the source: In this unit, students will learn about the connection between nutrition and health. Through interdisciplinary study in Biology, Health Science, Interpersonal Relations, English Language Arts, Mathematics, and World History, they will explore the questions of why we should care about what we eat and how food is produced. Students will explore concepts ranging from the body’s physical requirements in terms of calories and nutrients to the physiological and psychological outcomes resulting from various levels of nutrition and health. They will be introduced to cellular respiration, recombinant DNA technology, and ethical issues raised by using—or withholding the use of—biotechnology to increase food production.
