Students apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. In this calculus lesson plan, students identify the graphical connections between functions and accumulation functions. They use a TI to represent the functions.

Your young bankers compare earning interest accumulated yearly and monthly to decide which method most increases their balance. Using an exponential function to model the bank balance affords the learners more practice connecting...

Young scholars examine the relationship between inflation and money. Defining key terms, they define money in terms of its functions and give examples of money. They discover what happens when inflation occurs unexpectedly. They also...

High schoolers explain the basic functions of the various economic systems. As a class, they identify the main characteristics of capitalism and the advantages of division of labor and specialization. They describe the relationship...

Students review the structure and function of DNA, genes, and chromosomes and are engaged by a demonstration illustrating the relative size of DNA, genes and chromosomes. They also describe through analogy and model the structure and...

Students investigate the accumulation of drugs in the body. In this algebra lesson plan, students collect data on drug retention and assimilation. They use their data to predict the behavior and effects of drugs.

Students investigate the fundamental theorem of calculus. In this calculus lesson, students derive the fundamental theorem of calculus. They differentiate between the first and second theorem.

Solve problems using the fundamental theorem. In this calculus lesson, students solve problems using theorems and proving theorems. They derive the fundamental theorem as they study it.

Junior geologists work through three mini-lessons that familiarize them with the formation and location of fossil fuels. Part one involves reading about petroleum and where it comes from via a thorough set of handouts. A lab activity...

Just because we can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there! A growing concern for environmental scientists is toxic nanoparticles in our air and water. Young scholars conduct an experiment to demonstrate how these particles can cross our...

Students solve the mystery of dead Mr. Potato Head using physics and algebra. They discuss Newton's Law of cooling as it applies to the mystery scenario involving a cooling baked potato as the "victim". They manipulate algebraic...

Learners, using 15 years of sunspot data, plot data on a classroom graph. They discuss why the pattern from their individual sheets did not and could not match the class graph.

Students explore lead poisoning and how it relates to ceramic dishes. They perform an experiment to discover if any of your ceramic ware is leaching lead which might cause lead poisoning.

Pupils explore the amount of lead in ceramic plates through an experiment. Students determine if everyday dishware is leaching lead into food. They chart their results and discuss how much lead in ceramic dishware may cause lead...
