“Pringles Challenge 2010″ on Middle School Portal: http://sites.google.com/site/pringleschallenge/ http://ning.it/aj0wKt

This collection of mathematics-related problems pertaining to magnetism is the next logical step beyond what students explore in their middle school Earth science textbooks. The lab exercises prepare students to work the mathematics problems with a better understanding of magnetism. The variety of problems includes analyzing graphs, scientific notation, geometry and trigonometry. The problems call for students to apply mathematics and science concepts to understand magnetic fields and magnetism. Each one-page assignment includes background information. One-page answer keys accompany the assignments.
