This lab is designed to allow students to look at the amount of radiation that is detected at different distances from a radioactive source.

This lab is designed to allow students to look at the factors that affect the amount of radiation that is absorbed by different shielding materials.

For this task, young scholars examine world population data from 1804 to 2012 and investigate whether an exponential function is appropriate for modeling the relationship between the world population and the year. Aligns with F-LE.A.1.c.

In this task, students are shown a table of U.S. population data between 1790 and 1860 and are asked to explore whether exponential functions would be appropriate to model relationships within the data. The purpose of the task is to help...
