Choose from three different practice exams that cover all Integrated Algebra topics reviewed in the Regents Exam Prep Center website: number theory, operation, variables, expressions, equations, inequalities, patterns, functions,...

This learning check activity tests students understanding of the Trapezoidal Rule, Simpson's Rule, and the Midpoint Rule.

Test your skills at finding antiderivatives.

Students measure different types of small-sized beams and calculate their respective moments of inertia. They compare their calculations to how much the beams bend when loads are placed on them, gaining insight into the ideal geometry...

This page provides links to information about tests to determine the convergence or divergence of a series. No information about convergence tests is offered directly at this link.

Students will conduct several simple lab activities to learn about the five fundamental load types that can act on structures: tension, compression, shear, bending, and torsion. In this activity, students break foam insulation blocks by...

Inverse trigonometric functions are applied to integrals in these examples. Test your ability to work with integrals.

Students are introduced to our planet's structure and its dynamic system of natural forces through an examination of the natural hazards of earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, tsunamis, floods and tornados, as well as avalanches, fires,...

Students focus on the testing phase of the design process by considering how they have tested computer programs in the past and learning about a new method called JUnit to test programs in the future. JUnit is a testing method that is...

In this service-learning engineering project, students follow the steps of the engineering design process to design a hearing testing device. More specifically, they design a prototype machine that can be used to test the peripheral...

Students work within constraints to construct model trusses and then test them to failure as a way to evaluate the relative strength of different truss configurations and construction styles. Each student group uses Popsicle sticks and...

Students investigate the endothermic reaction involving citric acid, sodium bicarbonate and water to produce carbon dioxide, water and sodium citrate. In the presence of water [H2O]; citric acid [C6H8O7] and sodium bicarbonate [NaHCO3]...

In this lesson and its associated activity, learners conduct a simple test to determine how many drops of each of three liquids can be placed on a penny before spilling over. The three liquids are water, rubbing alcohol, and vegetable...

This curricular unit contains two lessons that let students actually do the work of scientists as they design their own experiments to answer questions they generate. In the first lesson and its associated activity, students conduct a...

Focuses on integrated pest management. Numerous sources of data on tests that have been run. Oranganic pest control as well as biological.

Twelfth graders test solutions to determine the parts per million and whether a lake is contaminated.

This report from the Stanford History Education Group describes the conclusions of their work in field testing a set of assessments of civic online reasoning by young people from the middle school to the college level. Middle school...
