Calculus students find the limit of piecewise functions at a value. They find the limit of piecewise functions as x approaches a given value. They find the limit of linear, quadratic, exponential, and trigonometric piecewise functions.

The "Bottled Bacteria" activity instructions are a bit unclear, but the remaining activities investigating limiting factors in ecosystems are well-written. Learners model the exosystem of a bear and a herd of deer. They set up a...

How does a population's habitat determine the size of that population? Teach learners about carrying capacity and limiting factors with an engaging roleplay activity. Class members pose as a colony of penguins who must gather food amidst...

Young scholars identify the desired features of an aircraft and the limits that they, the Wright Brothers, or NASA scientists might face in designing one, and methods to solve these. They review parts of an airplane and what makes it...

Learners calculate the limits of functions. In this calculus instructional activity, high schoolers find the left and right handed limits of different functions. They use the Ti Navigator to drag the function around as they study limits.

Young mathematicians solve problems involving limits in this calculus lesson. They identify the value of x as the limit approaches positive and negative infinity. Learners study the magnitude as x increases in value.

Young scholars solve problems using limits in this calculus instructional activity. They calculate the solution to a problem by substituting in positive integers and relate the sequence output as it relates to the limit of a function.

Students analyze data algebraically. In this calculus lesson, students determine the limit based on the 3 properties of limits. They identify the domain and range of each function.

High schoolers identify the three realms of the Arctic Ocean, and describe the relationships between these realms. They identify major factors that limit primary productivity in the Arctic Ocean.

Students are introduced to stoichiometric relationships in chemical equations with a Trail Mix activity before performing a lab to reinforce stoichiometry. Students complete the unit with a lab about limiting reactants in chemical...

All sodium carbonate may not have the same amount of carbonate, but it should have the same percent. Learners write and balance an equation to predict the chemical reaction between sodium carbonate and zinc acetate. Through the lab...

Students create a Hexaflexagon using a formula. In this calculus lesson, students apply the definition of delta epsilon as it relates to limit to create a shape using creases. They relate the same rule to triangles and investigate angles.

Students work in small groups with a small set of 8 nuts and 5 bolts to assemble into combinations of 1 nut: 1 bolt, and 2 nuts: 1 bolt. They explore the outcome and discuss. Then a student mixes two clear, colorless solutions together...

Twelfth graders define limits and use the delta epsilon definition to solve limits. In this calculus lesson plan, 12th graders investigate the x and y axis using delta epsilon limits. They learn a song to help them remember the definition.

Twelfth graders review limits and continuity. In this calculus lesson, 12th graders review the applications and use of limits and continuity for a test. This assignment contains links that are helpful for the review.

Observing plant succession doesn't have to be a decade long process. A hands-on lesson plan has groups study succession over a designated space. Learners use their observation skills to record differences in plant and soil...

High schoolers compare and contrast the characteristics of a limited and unlimited government. In groups, they use this information to create a chart and write a description of how leaders are chosen in each. They share their...

Students discuss the importance of limits as it relates to calculus. In this calculus instructional activity, students define limit and memorize the three rules of limits. They work problems to enhance their understanding of how limits...

Students define limits as it related to trig functions. In this trigonometry lesson, students take the derivatives of trig through specific patterns. They apply the formula for these special functions of sine, cos and tan in real world...

Life has its ups and downs ... especially if you're an animal! Biology scholars engage in a population study through an inquiry-based lesson. Pupils work together to explore the factors that affect deer populations, then examine the...

Students investigate Limits using a graphing calculator or TI. In this calculus lesson, students solve limit problems through modeling and relation to the real world. They use correct notation and solve problems involving more than one...

Students review concepts of logarithms for their test. For this calculus lesson, students review inverse function, limits, derivatives and solving logs equations. They review the chain rule and domain and range of inverse...

Middle schoolers investigate the effects of soil temperature, water availability, photo period and other variables of the growth of purple loosestrife. They observe the growing conditions of plants and alter them by adding water,...

As a stand-alone or as part of the intended unit, this is a valid investigation of what causes condensation to occur.  By limiting the amount of air around a cold cup of water and comparing it to one out in the open, they find that...
