Differentiate between calculus concepts. The beginning of a helpful calculus resource begins with a short review of functions and moves right into limits to define derivatives. The six-chapter resource continues with applications of...

Delve into the middle of calculus. The resource is the second eBook of three that covers the complete calculus content. Seven chapters begin with integrals and different methods of integration before moving on to differential equations....

How has Earth changed over time? Pupils explore the topic in a differentiated instruction unit on the geological time scale. After a pre-assessment to gauge knowledge, class members divide into groups based on their ability levels and...

How fast does it grow? Scholars work on two tasks dealing with exponential growth, one on population growth and the second on investments. Learners research a country's population over the past century and make predictions of the current...

Where did they all go? Small groups collect data on different animal species that are on a decline. Teams develop equations to model the populations over time and then create presentations about the decline of their animals. Classmates...

Enjoy a hands-on lesson that will certainly hold water with your classes. Young scientists design an experiment to determine the materials that absorb water the best. They test both man-made and nature-made materials and conduct...

Differentiate everyone's knowledge. Pupils work through nine review questions to highlight key concepts from Unit 7. Items range from finding slope fields and reasoning with them to finding general and particular solutions of...

Learners collect and analyze data regarding exponential functions of the form y = abx.  Students explore the affects of changing parameters on the graph of the function. 

Students analyze patterns of exponential models by collecting data in paper folding and M&M investigations. They use graphing calculators to create scatter plots that lead to equations for the exponential models. They then apply this...

Learners define exponential functions and graph the equation. In this algebra lesson plan, students discuss exponential growth and decay as they graph their functions. They differentiate between the base of growth and decay.

In this space probes worksheet, students read about radioisotope thermoelectric generators and how they work. Then students complete 3 short answer questions.

Learners participate in a lab in which they are introduced to carbon-dating. In groups, they use the holes of paper from a hole puncher and determine the rate of retention after shaking coins onto the same area. They record their...

Students use the scientific method to investigate the role of temperature in microbial growth. In this food preservation instructional activity, students set up an experiment with fruit in room temperature and in a refrigerator. They...

Students define population and carrying. In this algebra lesson, students explore exponential growth and decay based on animals and things that grow or decrease exponentially. They graph their findings and discuss their results as they...

In this dentistry worksheet, students use their workbook to answer short answer questions about dentistry and decay prevention. Students complete 7 questions total to get their merit badge.

Students explore the ecosystem by conducting a ziploc bag experiment. For this recycling lesson, students identify decomposer organisms in our environment and how they speed up the recycling process. Students utilize a ziploc plastic...

In this algebra worksheet, students graph exponential functions and analyze it for growth and decay. There are 9 problems with an answer key.

Students solve problems by identifying exponential growth and decay and differentiating between patterns, relation and functions. In this algebra lesson, students apply concepts of exponential growth to solve problems.

Learners analyze plotted data in this statistics lesson. They differentiate between skewed and normal data. They also explore and interconnect exponential growth and decay as it relates to the data.

In this half-life worksheet, students use 100 pennies to simulate radioactive isotopes and half-life. They place the pennies in a box and shake the box. All pennies that turn up tails are removed from the box. They represent the isotopes...

In this half-life worksheet, students calculate the half-life of isotopes, they find masses of isotopes remaining after specified times, and they find particular amounts of time needed to pass for given masses of isotopes to decay.

In this math worksheet, students compute the annual rate of appreciation or depreciation in a set of 7 problems. Each problem involves a given amount of money (or value) and indicates the percent of appreciation or depreciation.

Students write and balance nuclear equations. For this chemistry lesson, students identify materials that block radiation using polymers. They collect and analyze data from the experiment.

High schoolers examine the concept of radioactive dating. In this radioactive dating lesson plan, students investigate how to determine the ages of fossils and rocks as they learn about half-life radioactive decay.
