Young scholars examine volumes of solids of revolution. In this volumes of solids of revolution lesson, students use the limit of a Riemann sum to find the volumes of disks or cylinders and a sphere.

Students calculate the area under a curve. In this calculus lesson, students estimate and calculate the area of a curve using simpson's rule and the trapazoidal rule. They review rieman sums and add to it.

Young scholars study games. In this environment lesson, students discuss which games are damaging and which are not damaging to the environment by inventing games which are not harmful.

In this math worksheet, students practice the techniques associated with multiplying binomials. This worksheet has 18 problems for the students to solve.

Students explore communications by participating in a science class activity. In this communication technology lesson, students discuss the process of morse code, its history, and the electromagnets used to create the device. Students...

Students demonstrate how digestion occurs. In this biology lesson, students compare the mass of sandwiches before and after addition of HCl. They collect data and formulate conclusion based on experimental results.

Students list the reasons why people chose hybrid cars over traditional cars. For this technology lesson, students create a poster describing how hybrid cars work. They discuss ways to save fuel and improve a car's efficiency.

Review the steps for preserving wildlife tracks and then take ecologists outdoors to create plaster casts. This lesson is best used at an environmental or outdoor school situation since wildlife footprints aren't easily located within a...
