Here learners get to flex some serious algebraic muscles through an investigation of logistic growth. The properties of the constant terms in the logistic growth formula are unraveled in a short but content-dense...

Math and science come alive in this career-related lesson on sanitation. Along the way, learners explore bacterial growth rates using exponential notation and graphs. A link to a very brief, but vivid video shows just how quickly these...

Will human population growth always be exponential, or will we find a limiting factor we can't avoid? Young scientists learn about both exponential and logistic growth models in various animal populations. They use case studies to...

In this exponential function worksheet, students theorize the growth rate of bacteria found on a sandwich hidden in a student's locker. There are 6 questions to answer to solve the mystery.

Your young microbiologists will interpret and solve exponential equations in this real-world context task set in a hospital research scenario. Learners think in terms of the functions as well as their rates of change. 

Bring algebra to life with scientific applications. Math minded individuals calculate and graph the time it takes a bacterium to double. They discuss geometric sequences and use a chart to graph their findings. There are 38...

In this exponential population growth worksheet, students read word problems and determine the exponential growth of a specified populations.  They find the percent of growth and compute exponential regressions.  Students graph...

Students after investigating examples of exponential growth students have an intuitive feel for the concept of exponential growth of a system.

In this quantitative analysis worksheet, students explore the limits of a rate equation. They use quantitative analysis methods to determine the differential, plot graphs of their values, and describe the relationships between the...

in this applications of logarithmic functions worksheet, students solve 11 short answer problems. Students use logarithms to find half lives, compound interest, and population growth given a word problem.

Students examine the differences in exponential growth and linear growth of a system. They interpret data on graphs and develop their own charts. They answer discussion questions as well.

So many things change as time goes by. Here, scholars create graphs based on this premise. Each problem asks pupils to sketch a graph that describes a given situation. Their graphs represent various characteristics such as height,...

In this logarithm instructional activity, students read story problems, write an equation to solve the problem, and leave the answer in logarithm or exponential form. They find the derivative of given functions. This two-page...
