Students explore the scientific method. In this scientific method activity, students use information gathered from a "Seed Dispersal" lab done previously to complete a worksheet listing the steps of the scientific method.
Curated OER
Compound Interest
Pupils analyze the variables in the formula of a compound interest. They model the increase or decrease of an investment using compound interest and discuss different compounding periods.
Curated OER
Seasons' Journey : Putting it All Together
Third graders complete a diagram of the revolution of the earth around the sun and write a one paragraph explanation of the factors that cause seasons.
Curated OER
Exploring Expressions
Examine parts of an expression in this algebra lesson. Ninth graders identify the properties of the coefficient and their behavior to the graph. They graph the equation on a TI to see their results.
Curated OER
Equivalent or Not Equivalent?
Algebra learners look at equivalent expressions in the context of three different operations: division, squaring, and absolute value. In comparing these values, they will identity when expressions are equivalent.
Curated OER
Solving Systems using Elimination
Using elimination to find the point of intersection of two lines, students learn to solve systems of equation. They graph their solutions and use the TI to verify the solution.
