Hands-on investigation of Riemann sums becomes possible without intensive arithmetic gymnastics with this interactive lesson plan. Learners manipulate online graphing tools to develop and test theories about right, left, and...

A set of first grade geology lessons focuses on plate tectonics and movement of plate boundaries. During the pre-lab, learners experience three types of plate movement through a kinesthetic demonstration. The lab...

After learning about P waves and S waves, fifth graders view the intensity of earthquakes by examining seismographs and images of earthquake damage. Young scientists then forecasting future quakes by analyzing data about...

This PowerPoint provides a multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank format for reviewing vocabulary and related content following an "earth's crust" science unit. The information is concise and age-appropriate and the font and colors are...

Fifth graders watch as the teacher projects a series of pictures on the wall showing bird tracks heading toward each other but not meeting, two tracks converging into one, and two tracks converging and then being scuffed up. They write...

In this integral worksheet, students evaluate improper integrals, use a convergence test to determine if the integral will converge or diverge and consider the area of a region bounded by a polygon. This one-page worksheet contains...

Young scholars view images in a spherical mirror and interpret the path of light. In this physics lesson, students view a large spherical mirror demonstrated by the instructor. They use shiny serving spoons to investigate the path...

Pupils watch a video about plate tectonics. in this Earth Science lesson, students watch a video clip from Bill Nye about Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics. They make a slight crack in a hard boiled egg and manipulate the egg to show...

For this Taylor Series worksheet, students explore functions with an infinite series. They complete an integral of convergence and explore the degree of the polynomials. This four-page worksheet contains four multi-step problems.

In this improper integrals worksheet, students explain the reasons each of three integrals may be considered improper. They evaluate each by determining if it converges to a number or diverges.

In this Calculus worksheet, students use Taylor's inequality to show that the series converges to sin(x). The two page worksheet contains seven questions. Answers are not included.

In this earth science worksheet, students identify and locate vocabulary terms related to continental drift and geography. There are 54 words located in the puzzle.

In this infinite series activity, students explore the pattern in a series of numbers. They solve a sequence of partial sums and identify the limit. This two-page activity contains explanations, examples and approximately five problems.

In this Contemporary Workplace instructional activity, students answer questions about the differences for males and females in the workplace, then they fill in a chart about the labor market.

Fifth graders are introduced to convergence of sequences based on averaging previous terms in the sequence. The power of the "fill-down" function in spreadsheets is exploited. By using various starting numbers, and inferring the limit,...

Middle schoolers discover the relationship between lens shape and the formation of images in an experiment. They use three different size converging lenses and a diverging lens to calculate and compare the focal length of each. They...

In this infinite series worksheet, students use comparisons to determine convergence for improper integrals. They use the integral test for infinite series. Students state the reasons they believe a given integral is converging or...
