Learners create an individual menu for one of their peers. They must examine their peer's activity level and family history.

Students research the possible sources and human health effects of microbes found in recreational and drinking water. They explore the range of negative outcomes of contact with contaminated recreational and drinking water by creating...

Young learners apply divisibility rules to determine if a number is a factor of another number. They discuss what numbers are factors of another number and identify patterns using divisibility rules.

Learners construct the Sierpinski Triangle using Cabri Jr. They use a step-by-step guide to construct the Sierpinski Triangle on their graphing calculator and then discuss the formula for constructing a nth stage Sierpinski Triangle.

Students conduct an experiment to determine whether plants need air in order to survive and grow. They discuss natural resources, analyze slides, and observe and record data from the experiment.

Students conduct an experiment to evaluate whether plants need light to survive and grow. They observe and gather data about plant responses to different growth regimes, analyze the data, and make conclusions about basic plant needs.

Students conduct an experiment to evaluate whether plants need soil to survive and grow. They plant two seeds, one with soil and one without, make predictions, and record and analyze the seed germination results on a worksheet.

Young scholars engage in a discussion about what a parachute is and how it works. They create a parachute using different materials that they think will work best. The students test their designs, which will be followed by a class...

Students explore the exponential growth and decay of microbial populations in relation to the organism tolerance ranges in their environment, They observe the impact of changing variables which can affect microbial populations.

Students research principles of flight. They design their own paper airplanes and make predictions about the performance of different designs. Students keep track of their findings in an electronic journal.

students convert the temperature readings from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. they predict and create a graph of what the graph of altitude (x-axis) versus temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (y-axis) might look like.

High schoolers explore using a circuit board in this physics lesson plan. They will analyze current and battery set up on a circuit board. Teachers check the board before the young scholars experiment.

Learners investigate systems of equations as they use the Ti-Navigator to explore scenarios about dog races and NASCAR races. Pupils determine the winner of the race and when opponents pass each other given a speed and distance.

High schoolers investigate perimeter patterns formed by a hexagon and a triangle. They will identify the dependent and independent variable and write a function for the relationship.

Pupils explore financial applications of linear functions. As they investigate the steps necessary to plan a fundraising event, learners explore minimizing cost and maximizing profits.

Students differentiate between linear and quadratic functions. In this algebra lesson, students write equations of graphs and graph a function from an equation. They also identify the slope and y-intercept.

High schoolers explore algebraic expressions in this Algebra I lesson. They evaluate expressions using paper and pencil and then use the TI-83 to provide immediate reinforcements.

Learners explore binomial multiplication through the use of technology. Using a graphing calculator, you pupils enter the binomial expression into Y1, multiply the binomials and enter that result into Y2, and combine like terms and enter...

Learners explore scatter plots in this algebra lesson. They create a scatter plot from their guesses regarding a famous person’s birth date and the actual birth date then they examine and interpret the results of their graph.

In this Algebra II instructional activity, students explore the connection between the factored form of a quadratics and the zero of a function. Students use a graphing calculator to verify factoring numerically and graphically.

Learners investigate quadratic equations as they use a CBR to collect and analyze data regarding a bouncing ball. Pupils explore different methods for determining the equation of the parabolic path including quadratic regression and...

Pupils use their knowledge of the vertex form of a quadratic equation to graph parabolas using a graphing calculator, given a specific move to make. this lesson may be used as a review or as extra practice, in groups or individually.

Students determine the volume of a rectangular prism. They then maximize and minimize the volume given variable side lengths.  Finally, they factor the volume equation to determine the side lengths.
