Fourth graders take three different photographs representing the beginning, middle and end of their story. They use the Tool Factor program Fresco to add elements to enhance their creativity and make their writing come alive. They then...

Students investigate the relationship between shape of object and moment of inertia. In this physics lesson, students collect data from the experiment and use spreadsheet to graph them. They discuss how load affects deflection.

This activity will demonstrate the use of the integral test to discuss the convergence of an infinite series.

Visual Calculus offers a discussion and exercises concerning the integral test for convergence of series. The site also discusses the power series test.

This page gives a brief statement of the Integral Test for convergent or divergent series. This test is also called the Cauchy Integral Test or the Maclaurin Integral Test.

A handy reference guide to the integral test. It provides definitions, examples, and an animation that enhances further explanation. Includes links to related topics.

This lesson explains the Integral Test for Improper Integrals and Series. The lesson provides definitions, background and examples.

This is an excellent resource! It states all of the most common tests for series convergence. Examples are not included.

A series of trigonometric definite integrals are presented, along with three answers for each question (one correct, two incorrect). After choosing all answers, the site returns a score to judge understanding of definite integrals of the...

A series of trigonometric definite integrals are presented, along with three answers for each question (one correct, two incorrect). After choosing all answers, the site returns a score to judge understanding of definite integrals of the...

Several topics of integration are presented, including definite and indefinite integrals, trig integration, and area under curves. Examples and a practice test are included.

Testing is critical to any design, whether it be in the creation of new software or building a bridge across a wide river. Despite risking the quality of the design, the testing stage is often hurried in order to get products to market....

JUnit is a testing method that is included with NetBeans (Java) installs or can be downloaded from the web and included in the Java build. In this activity, students design tests for a provided Java class before the class methods are...

Students learn about the importance of creating and testing prototypes during the engineering design process. They start by building prototypes, which is a special type of model used to test new design ideas. Students gain experience...

Students gain experience using the software/systems (engineering) design process, specifically focusing on the testing phase. This problem-based learning activity uses the design process to solve open-ended challenges. In addition to...

Learners learn about water quality testing and basic water treatment processes and technology options. Biological, physical and chemical treatment processes are addressed, as well as physical and biological water quality testing,...

Student groups are provided with a generic car base on which to design a device/enclosure to protect an egg as it rolls down a ramp at increasing slopes. During this activity, student teams design, build and test their prototype...

This site from the Indiana University provides an excellent set of tutorials on plagiarism, designed for university or advanced secondary students. After completing the tutorials, students may register to take a free certification test...

This site explains the intgration by parts, giving formulas and examples. The site also includes a link to an interactive self test.

Students build model caverns and bury them in a tray of sand. They test the models by dropping balls onto them to simulate an asteroid hitting the Earth. By molding papier-mache or clay around balloons (to form domes), or around small...

Students design and build model landfills using materials similar to those used by engineers for full-scale landfills. Their completed small-size landfills are "rained" on and subjected to other erosion processes. The goal is to create...

Students observe and test their reflexes, including the (involuntary) pupillary response and (voluntary) reaction times using their dominant and non-dominant hands, as a way to further explore how reflexes occur in humans. They gain...

We design and create objects to make our lives easier and more comfortable. The houses in which we live are an excellent example of this. Depending on your local climate, the features of your house will be different to satisfy your...

The resource examines sequences and infinite series. Topics investigated are power series, convergence, comparison test, integral test, ratio test, and Taylor series. Class notes, definitions, and examples with detailed solutions are...
