In this number puzzle learning exercise, students are given 8 clues to find 8 integers. Clues refer to measures of central tendencies, abundant numbers, perfect cubes, and palindromes.

Students define properties of a quadratic equation. In this algebra lesson, students graph and factor quadratic functions. They write equations for polynomials, given a graph.

Students examine the greenhouse effect, as they determine how moisture in the air affects the diurnal temperature range. Their investigation help them to explain different climatological regimes of both the Southern Great Plains and the...

An entertaining presentation introduces both enthalpy and entropy. It explains equilibrium as the balance between these two measures and provides simple diagrams and graphics for additional clarity.

Review the form of a quadratic function, and the parabola it creates. Continue on with the whole group to work through a mini-lab, practicing how to graph quadratic equations with one variable. The goal of this lesson is for the group...

In this derivative worksheet, students identify second derivatives and find the directional derivative of a function. They also list the extremes and saddle points of a function. This one-page worksheet contains seven multi-step problems.

In this measures of central tendency worksheet, quick-thinking pupils use mental math to find the mean, median, and range of samples. They use mental math to calculate subtraction problems. They complete 20 problems in which the answers...

Who pays more for haircuts, men or women? Given quartile values, learners construct box and whiskers plots and interpret the results. They compare the mean and median, and discuss which is more appropriate under particular conditions....

Mini-meteorologists visit the National Climate Data Center online to gather past weather information for the area that they live in. They consider how the weather patterns may have influenced the architecture of the area. Finally, they...

Students work collaboratively to create artistic renderings of digital photographs using a color value scale and grid techniques in this late-elementary school lesson based upon Ted Rose's book Discovering Drawing. The lesson includes a...

Students are introduced to desert plants and animals. They demonstrate that the name of an organism does not always match the object. Students perform a guided internet search in order to complete a report.
