My friend told me how electricity is measured and I was like Watt! In the hands-on activity, learners explore electricity by building circuits, both parallel and series. They also determine how increasing the number of light bulbs and...

Scholars use a playing card activity to help them develop a program to find the minimum value of a list. They learn to use for loops to write code that will process lists. 

Start programming in event-driven style. Scholars learn to place buttons on the user interface and use event handlers. They also learn to recognize errors in code and debug as necessary. This is the second instructional activity in the...

Discover how to embed images in lists. Scholars modify an existing app to include an image scroller in the 17th lesson of the series. They learn to refactor code and remove redundancies after modifying code.

Scholars explore compound conditional logic and learn to use the Boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT within conditional statements by incorporating these operators to improve a previously created app.

How much information about you is out there? Scholars explore this question as they investigate data breaches and how these violations occur. They then take part in an activity where they research how easily people could get access to...

Scholars learn how to crack secret codes as they continue reading from the Blown to Bits and try to crack the random substitution cipher. They also begin learning about the Vigenere cipher. 

Pupils attempt to solve the Wireless Hotspot Problem and learn why it is considered a computationally hard problem in the ninth activity of the series on 12. They also learn about one-way functions and how the Wireless Hotspot Problem is...

In 2015, Peter Cook found that sea lions with high levels of exposure to toxins suffered permanent brain damage if they survived at all. Scholars learn about the accumulation of toxins at various levels of the food chain. Using...

What were you doing a minute ago? What about last year? Learners read a set of 10 sentences and fill in each blank with a simple past or past continuous verb listed in parentheses.

Turn readers into investigative journalists. The 11th and final lesson plan that accompanies The Twits by Roald Dahl asks the question "What happened to Mr. and Mrs. Twit?" The lesson plan uses mind maps and group discussion to help...

Take the class back in time to the Victorian Era! The resource provides a plethora of activities that create experiences for scholars in class. Some activities include a fun fair, viewing the starry-night painting, and even experiencing...

Money talks! And it can reveal a lot about political candidates. An 11-slide presentation examines how candidates raise and spend money on an election. The slides, using data from the 2016 Presidential election, reveal how much it costs...

How does a society influence and shape individuals? Class members ponder this essential question as they read Lord of the Flies, as well as primary source materials about the historical background of the novel. As a...

Students take notes on how to teach art. They determine if they are right or left brained and experience the frustration of teacher-directed art and trying to stay in the lines of a coloring book. They experience different art...

Factor quadratic equations by teaching your students how to identify the zeros of the quadratic function. They use the TI to see where the graph will intercept the coordinate plane.

Teach how to solve problems with right triangles. Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to identify missing sides and angles. Then, they will define and use the Pythagorean Triples to solve problems.

Teach how to differentiate between chords and perpendicular bisectors. In this geometry lesson, students relate the properties of chords and circle to solving right triangle. They define what makes two chords congruent in side a circle.

Mathematicians graph logarithmic equations. Teach your high schoolers how to identify the intercepts of logarithmic equations and tell whether the function is increasing or decreasing. They find the domain and range of each function.

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...

Investigation of a nomograph teaches students to determine the rule of a function by examining the input and output values.  Students use a nomograph on their Ti-Nspire to determine the function rule.  Students make a scatter...

Teach your class how to differentiate between linear and exponential functions. They use exponential properties to solve problems, graph them using the TI-Navigator, and make comparisons.

Teach your class how to solve problems using the triangle sum theorem. In this geometry lesson, students identify the missing angles in a triangle using the sum theorem. They graph triangles on the TI and moves the sides around to create...
