Tenth graders explore the weapons of the Aboriginal people. For this tenth grade mathematics lesson, 10th graders investigate how throwing with an atlatl increase the speed of the dart as it is thrown. Students calculate the speed for...

For this cooling model worksheet, students approximate solutions using Euler's method. They approximate piecewise linear equations. This six-page worksheet contains approximately 15 problems.

Find the faster rate. The resource tasks the class to compare proportional relationships represented in different ways. Pupils find the slope of the proportional relationships to determine the constant rates. They then analyze the...

Explore functions with non-constant rates of change. The first installment of a 12-part module teaches young mathematicians about the concept of a function. They investigate instances where functions do not have a constant rate of change.

Your classes become video game designers for a day! They utilize their matrices, vectors, and transformation skills to create and design their own game images. The complex task requires learners to apply multiple concepts to create their...

Small groups use rubber bands to accelerate an Android device along a track of books. They collect the acceleration data and analyze it in order to determine the device's velocity. 

I like algebra, but graphing is where I draw the line! Worksheet includes three multiple-part questions on interpreting and drawing line graphs. It focuses on the abstract where neither axis has numbers written in, though both are...

Students calculate the distance and velocity over time. In this algebra lesson, students graph a linear function to represent the distance vers time travel. They interpret their graphs and draw conclusion.

Young scholars graph linear equations using slopes and intercepts. In this algebra lesson, students identify the slope as being positive,negative or undefined. They differentiate between different quadrants on a coordinate plane.

Students create a table of values to graph a line. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify the slope and intercept of a linear equation. They use a Ticalculator to graph their function.

Students investigate speed, time and distance. In this algebra lesson plan, students utilize their knowledge of linear equations to solve problems related to time, speed and distance. This assignment is hands on using two toy race cars.

High schoolers determine how changes in the coefficients in a quadratic function affect its graph. They determine how to use the equation to determine the intercepts of a quadratic function. Students identify the location of the...

Students examine and discuss Newton's Laws and discover his contribution to physics. In groups, they participate in an experiment in which they much apply the Laws to the world around them. They describe contact and conservative forces...

Students research articles about science technology and society. In this science and technology lesson, students answer questions about an article they chose. They share what they learned with their peers.

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Scientists have been studying exothermic reactions before they were cool. The instructional activity begins with a discussion and a demonstration of heat curves. Scholars then determine the heat of fusion of ice and the...

Students discuss the Sars outbreak in 2003. In this biology lesson, students research the effect of the outbreak to the world. They create a public announcement about the topic.

Learners investigate an accident and relate it to math. In this trigonometry lesson, students measure the accident scene, the friction produced, and the speed from the skid marks. They create a poster of their findings.

Ninth graders explore how pendulums function.  In this pendulums lesson students complete a pendulum lab activity. 

A learning module where students gain an understanding of the relationships between the different kinds of motion. Students will be able to explain free-fall motion and use kinematics equations to calculate problems involving falling...

This study guide on circular motion covers key terms, centripetal force, linear vs. circular motion, precession, and equations. Includes four example problems with detailed solutions. The guide is available for download with free...

Students learn about slope, determining slope, distance vs. time graphs through a motion-filled activity. Working in teams with calculators and CBL motion detectors, students attempt to match the provided graphs and equations with the...
