Curated OER
Lesson 2: What Is Money?
Young scholars describe the functions of money as a medium of exchange, a store or a measure of value. They determine a number of characteristics of money by completing an activity in which they assign common items the value to buy...
Curated OER
Quadratics Introduction
Students investigate quadratic functions graphically and algebraically.
Curated OER
Data Collection Project
Students collect data using email. They calculate the mean, median, mode, range and outliers. They create a graph using the data results. They write five paragraphs to summarize their data.
Curated OER
Arkansas and Louisiana Purchase Wetlands
Students experiment to determine the value and importance of wetlands in Arkansas. They develop an environmental appreciation for wetlands.
Curated OER
Deadly Roots?
Students examine the roots of various plants. They study and discuss the cross section of a root. They compare different plants with their root systems and complete a worksheet, giving the function/importance of each root part.
