Curated OER
Worksheet 8 - Spring 1996
In this math worksheet, students sketch the graphs of the functions 1/x 2 and 1/(x2 − 1) over the interval [2, ∞). They rewrite the series using the Riemann sum.
Curated OER
Limiting Factors/Evolution Game
Students play a board game with provided cards which help them realize that limiting factors may restrict an organism in its development and productivity and direct evolutionary pathways.
Curated OER
Limiting Factors/ Evolution Game
Young scholars will understand the relationship between limiting factors and evolution. They will be able to hypothesize possible evolutionary pathways for modern day organisms.
Curated OER
Worksheet 7
For this math worksheet, students examine the values of the series and determine how they could be defined as divergent. They also evaluate the Squeeze Theorem.
Curated OER
Evolution Simulation
Students simulate the process of evolution. Using index cards, they copy a drawing. Each subsequent drawing is sent around the room. The results are compared to the original drawing.
