Scientists have been studying exothermic reactions before they were cool. The lesson begins with a discussion and a demonstration of heat curves. Scholars then determine the heat of fusion of ice and the heat needed to...

Want my name and number? It's 6.0221415 times 10 to the 23rd, and my name is Avogadro. Providing nine different activities, experiments, and labs, this lesson keeps Avogadro relevant to your class all year long. 

Litmus paper, why so blue? A chemistry lesson includes a pre-lab activity, practice calculating pH, an experiment measuring the pH in acids and bases, a titration demonstration, and a titration experiment. 

Do you have mole problems? If so, call Avogadro at 602-2140. The lesson plan starts with pupils working independently to solve for molar mass of ionic compounds. Then they learn to solve for percent composition and later perform an...

Lost an electron? You should keep an ion them. Young chemists learn qualitative analysis in the second lesson plan of an 11-part chemistry series. After observing reactions of simple salts, the teacher provides pupils with unknown...

During this hands-on activity, young chemists build molecular models based on the Lewis dot structure before studying valence shell electron pair repulsion theory. 

Laughter may be the best medicine, but aspirin is also important. Young chemists analyze aspirin tablets using titration in this lab experiment. They then repeat the entire experiment using a different aspirin brand. 

Why was Sir Newton so important to the field of science? Pupils discuss his contributions, specifically his Third Law, as they learn about gravity and the center of mass. They work multiple problems to ensure their understanding and...

Avoiding lab safety rules will not give you super powers. The lesson plan opens with a demonstration of not following safety rules. Then, young chemists practice their lab safety while finding the mass of each item in a mixture and...

Five out of four people have trouble with fractions! After comparing simplifying fractions to simplifying rational expressions, pupils use the same principles to multiply and divide rational expressions. 

Put together the pieces and model a parabola. Learners work through several examples to develop an understanding of a parabola graphically and algebraically. 

What does it mean to be normal in the world of statistics? Pupils first explore the meaning of a normal distribution in the eight-lesson module. They then apply the statistics related to normal distributions such as mean, standard...

Trying to find a linear transformation is like finding a needle in a haystack. The second lesson in the series of 32 continues to explore the concept of linearity started in the first lesson. The class explores trigonometric, rational,...

Analyze functions by decomposing complex functions and composing simple functions. Through a detailed lesson plan, pupils learn the vocabulary and notation related to the composition of functions. Practice includes both evaluating and...

In this calculus worksheet, 12th graders differentiate and integrate basic trigonometric functions, calculate rates of change, and integrate by substitution and by parts.  The twenty-two page worksheet contains explanation of the...

Students differentiate between linear and quadratic functions. In this algebra lesson, students write equations of graphs and graph a function from an equation. They also identify the slope and y-intercept.

Ninth graders graph linear equations of the form y= mx + b. In this algebra instructional activity, 9th graders are able to graph a line given the slope and y-intercept. They can write the equations of a line given the graph of a line...

Students solve equations by graphing. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between functions and relations. They use the TI to graph their equation and analyze the graph.

How do you find slope? You use points on a line of course. slope. Teach your class how to calculate and differentiate between horizontal and vertical lines. They are sure to be pros at graphing lines on a coordinate plane by the end of...

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

In this stability of equilibrium values worksheet, students explore equilibrium solutions and classify them as asymptotically stable or not asymptotically stable. They justify their reasoning. This four-page worksheet contains five...

In this derivative instructional activity, students find the derivative of given functions and find the equation of a tangent line to a curve. They differentiate functions and work velocity and acceleration functions. This two-page...

In this derivative learning exercise, students evaluate limits, factor equations, and calculate the given function. They determine the derivative of a function and plot it on a graph. This four-page learning exercise contains eight...

For each of the equations they find the values of the rational expressions. Then they differentiate each expression in relation to the value of t.
