Not all linear functions are linear transformations, only those that go through the origin. The third lesson in the 32-part unit proves that linear transformations are of the form f(x) = ax. The lesson plan takes another look at examples...

It's a gas. Middle schoolers build a biogas generator following the directions in this resource. After a few days of observation, they demonstrate that the gas given off by the decomposing manure is flammable. The activity concludes as...

In this transformations activity, pupils draw the transformations of the triangles and parallelograms in graphs. They complete four drawings.

Transform your class' understanding of genes and antibiotic resistance with the Transformation Lab. Junior geneticists create and observe their own resistant strains of E. coli through research, discussion, and experimentation. The...

This activity guides learners through an exploration of common transformations of the graph of a function. Given the graph of a function f(x), students generate the graphs of f(x + c), f(x) + c, and  cf(x) for...

In this transformations/translation activity, learners draw transformations based on shapes and vectors of given translations. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

By rolling marbles down a six-foot length of track, physical scientists determine how much energy is lost to heat. It is recommended that you opt for the foam pipe insulation track because more friction slows the marble, allowing...

Working with transformations allows the class to take a turn for the better. The short assessment has class members perform transformations on the coordinate plane. The translations, reflections, and rotations create pattern designs on...

Magnets don't grow in fields, but magnetic fields are important to understand. The lesson covers the effect electricity has on magnetic fields. Scholars use a compass, magnets, and electrical wire to test magnetic fields and energy...

What is the difference between a form of energy and a source of energy? This first activity in a series of 19 lessons uses demonstrations and discussions to introduce energy to the class. Through using hand-generator flashlights,...

In this effect of transformations on coordinates worksheet, learners determine the coordinates of 4 geometric shapes on a grid after a given transformation.

A well-developed lab sheet guides physical science learners through an investigation of kinetic and potential energy. In small groups, collaborators discover whether or not the ramp height or mass of an object has an effect on the...

In this electricity worksheet, students learn about magnetic induction plus compare a generator with a motor. Students also review the different kinds of energy and the formulas associated with energy. This worksheet has 28 matching, 10...

Meta-cognition can transform learning. If your syllabus includes linguistics to enhance learners' comprehension and expression in English, here is an interactive online quiz to assess what they have learned. Titled "Basic Linguistics,"...

In this electricity and magnetism worksheet, students will answer 17 questions about how electrons flow, how electric motors work, and the function of a transformer.

In this inverse matrix learning exercise, students find the product of matrices. They generate an inverse matrix using the Gauss-Jordan elimination method. This two-page learning exercise contains explanations, examples and two...

Investigate the relationship between the slope-intercept form and the slope of the graph. The lesson plan leads an investigation of the slope-intercept equation of a line and its slope. Pupils realize the slope is the same as the...

In this magnetism instructional activity, students review concepts relating to magnetic fields, transformers, galvanometers, and electric motors. This instructional activity has 9 fill in the blank and 11 short answer questions.

In this congruency activity, 5th graders complete 4 questions about congruent figures and transformations. Page has links to additional activities.

Using this short review of finding a percentage of a number, learners can practice important skills. There are twelve questions on this instructional activity.

In this percentages worksheet, students calculate percentages in eighteen problem solving percentage equations. Students show each step of their work.

Here is a worksheet on which math classes practice calculating the percentage of different numbers. Some of the percentages involve decimals, so this would not be an assignment for first-time percent calculators! You can print the...

Here is a set of 24 pairs of numbers for which kids reduce the ratios to their simplest form. It is a simple and straightforward assignment, meant by the publisher to address CCSS.Math.Content.6.RP.3. Note, however, that it only requires...

Is interacting with people from different backgrounds part of a well-rounded education? A big question awaits young readers as they explore two New York Times articles that discuss modern-day segregation, population statistics, and...
