In small groups, students will measure the rise and tread of stairs and calculate slope of the stairs. Each student will indicate the perceived ease of the climb. Recorded data will be compared to guidelines for stairs to investigate an application of algebra to construction and safety in the home and public buildings. Data analysis and display and student research expand the activity beyond simply calculating slope using the formula.

All About The Human Genome Project (HGP) The Human Genome Project (HGP) was one of the great feats of exploration in history - an inward voyage of discovery rather than an outward exploration of the planet or the cosmos; an international research effort to sequence and map all of the genes - together known as the genome - of members of our species, Homo sapiens. Completed in April 2003, the HGP gave us the ability to, for the first time, to read nature's complete genetic blueprint for …
