Students collect data for a bouncing ball and select one bounce to analyze. They explore the relationship between velocity, position and acceleration. They seek out connections between the graphs and the physical motion of the ball.

High schoolers investigate the Chernobyl nuclear disaster by mapping out the winds carrying radiation and viewing a short video about the aftermath and subsequent health problems. They then calculate the amount of radiation that people...

Learners collect and record data. In this collecting and recording data lesson, students collect data and record that data using frequency tables which include the x and y axis.

Students investigate linear equations using the Ti-Calculator. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph lines and identify the different quadrants on a coordinate plane. They identify ordered pairs used to plot lines.

Pupils investigate the acceleration of a car.  For this acceleration of a car lesson, students make a scatter plot of corvette acceleration data.  Pupils find a model to fit the data by taking the integral of the curve created...

Students measure using tools they have made. In this algebra lesson, students measure the height and distance using non-traditional measuring methods. They apply their findings to algebra and trigonometry properties of measurements.

Demonstrate the abstract process of solving equations by using algebra tiles as a concrete representation. Scholars begin by solving equations through the use of manipulatives. As they gain more confidence, they progress to...

Explore the definitions of algebraic properties through a hands-on activity. Individuals cut and paste examples and match them to the correct properties. After examining the provided examples, pupils create examples of their own.

Tenth graders investigate relations and functions. In this algebra lesson, 10th graders perform or research real life situation involving functions. This assignment can be used as a year end project.  

Examine multiple ways to solve algebraic equations. Pupils will generate a problem solving strategy that addresses the prompt given by the teacher. They will then share their problem solving strategy with the class. Graphic organizers,...

Investigate polynomial multiplication with the TI-nspire handheld calculator. Using the applications on this calculator, learners explore multiplication of numbers, binomials, a binomial by a polynomial, and polynomials. The dynamic...

Learners practice generating parabolas with a motion sensor while determining the vertex form of the equation. They compare it to the regression equation from the calculator onto a data mate software. Each student completes several...

Explore the concept of polynomials and determine the value and number of zeros for a given polynomial using the Rational Root Theorem. Then graph the polynomials and relate the number of zeroes to the degree of the polynomial.

Is there a relationship between hand span width and height? Statisticians survey each other by taking measurements of both. A table that can hold data for 24 individuals is printed onto the worksheet, along with questions for analysis....

Students create a working radio by soldering circuit components supplied from an AM radio kit. They demonstrate an efficient soldering technique, identify the circuit components used to construct their radio, and explain how their radio...

Students design a proportional model of blood out of red gelatin, a plastic bag, and rice. They study the components that make up blood and investigate what happens when the arteries in different scenerios. They work in pairs in order to...

Students read "The Magic School Bus in the Human Body" and discuss the importance of maintaining a healthy body. They create a hinge and joint paper skeleton, follow the journey of a hamburger through the digestive tract, jump rope and...

Your microbiologists explore the graphing of exponential growth functions using bacteria, like e. coli and salmonella, in a well-written, career and technology lesson. 

Students create a polymer out of glue, water, and borax. They discuss the resulting substance and perform several experiments with it.
