High schoolers investigate the concept of the Einstein's Theory of Relativity while conducting research using the internet and following the outline of the objectives to guide the information search. The lesson plan includes background...

Pupils explore data collection in this lesson. They investigate distance vs. time and velocity vs. time graphs using information collected with a CBR 2 to simulate the reconstruction of an accident.

Students investigate data collection and analysis.  In this Algebra I lesson, students create a scatter plot and find the equation of best fit in a simulation of a leaking water pipe.

Investigate differential equations with your class. They use the TI-89 to explore differential equations analytically, graphically, and numerically as the examine the relationships between each of the three approaches.

Teach your learners how to investigate the relationship between a central angle and an inscribed angle which subtend the same arc of a circle. The dynamic nature of Cabri Jr. provides opportunity for conjecture and verification.

Learners investigate the process necessary to construct regular polygons. They explore the degree measures of the angles in a regular polygon. Using this information and technology in the form of Cabri Jr., your pupils will construct...

Computing class members encounter use a digital learning tool called The Fraction Bar to multiply fractions with whole numbers. They do so by finding a given fraction of a number either on a number line or by calculating the answer with...

Young scholars investigate the importance of significant figures through measuring and estimating. In this estimation and significant figures lesson plan, students measure pieces of paper and round their figures to the nearest marking on...

Students investigate surface tension, adhesion and cohesion. In this surface tension lesson plan, students complete 3 activities to better understand the concepts of surface tension, adhesion and cohesion. Students add drops of water to...

Tenth graders investigate the mole using raisins, sunflower seeds and M&Ms candy. In this mole relations lesson plan, 10th graders create trail mix packets using the food items given to them using "dozen" as the units. Students write...

Young scholars investigate calorimetry and set up equipment to measure calories. In this calorimetry lesson plan, students make a calorimeter and compare large amounts of heated water with small amounts to show the difference in...

Students investigate Archimedes' Principle and show how it relates to density. In this Archimedes' Principle lesson plan, students experiment with a beaker of water, a Styrofoam "boat" and a weight. They predict what will happen when the...

If the infectious diseases and population growth worksheet, students simulate the spread of an infectious disease by exchanging fluids in a lab activity. Students watch the spread of the disease and graph the spread of the disease vs....

In this measuring speed in the universe worksheet, learners use photographs of 3 astronomical phenomena including supernova explosions, coronal mass ejections and solar flare shock waves to find how fast they move. The photographs show...

Fourth graders learn about price and comparative shopping. In this price and comparative shopping instructional activity, 4th graders read Amy Axelrod's, Pigs Go To Market: Fun with Math and Shopping. They use the book to investigate the...

Have your learners investigate parabolas. In this Algebra II lesson, students explore the basic definition of a parabola by using Cabri Jr. to create a parabola given the focus and directrix.  Students interpret the equation for a...

Young scholars explore binomial multiplication. They use a TI-nspire handheld to investigate the relationship between the binomial multiplication problem and the resulting trinomial. 

Ninth graders investigate mean, median, and mode.  In this mean, median, and mode lesson, 9th graders research gold data for the top ten scores in two golf tournaments.  Students make tables and graphs of the data. ...

Sixth graders investigate logging and the process of paper making.  In this forestry lesson, 6th graders analyze pictures of trees being processed into the paper they use everyday.  Students solve and create math problems based...

Students investigate the life cycle of plants by growing their own in class.  In this botany lesson, students practice using plant vocabulary while they grow their own Wisconsin Fast Plants.  Students collaboratively build a...

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, high schoolers investigate a riddle involving the use of the dictionary and subtraction of three digit numbers.  The one page worksheet contains one problems with an explanation of why the...

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, students investigate exponential growth as they predict the height of a stack of paper formed by tearing one sheet of paper in half over and over again for thirty tears.  The one page...

In this algebra worksheet, students are given a word problem they must solve by rewriting the words in to algebraic symbols. They investigate Sine and Cosine using word problems. There are 18 questions with an answer key.

Students investigate e, pi and exponents. In this calculus lesson, students define constants and non-constants using, pi, e and exponents as an example. They use the TI to work the problems in this lesson.
