Learners investigate the concept of Ohm's Law and how it is used when finding a solution to an equation. They use properties of equality in order to find the solution for the variable. Students also apply a formula to real life problems...

Students examine the properties of light and the behavior of light during interference.  In this electromagnetics lesson students explain behaviors of light.

These slides summarize the properties that define materials. The categories of physical and chemical changes that are used to describe substances are listed and students will find the examples of those changes useful. You could set the...

You know that liquid nitrogen turns into a gas at room temperature. Place some in a two-liter bottle for a physics demonstration of the ideal gas law. Beware, however; this is a dangerous demonstration! Not to mention that you may not...

What common chemical includes safety warnings for being harmful if swallowed or inhaled, causes serious eye damage, and needs to be cleaned up immediately if spilled on the floor? Surprisingly, the dangerous chemical turns out to be...

Using the harrowing story of the Crafts, a couple enslaved in the South who escaped to freedom, young historians trace the story of the Fugitive Slave Act. After examining documents, including affidavits and arrest warrants for the...

Students study the process for dissolution of marriage. They examine the different types of property in a community property regime and the basic presumptions associated with community property. They examine the impact of community...

The Environmental Protection Agency monitors sensors to track air pollution and set clean air standards. Enthusiastic young scientists use similar sensors to gather data in their area and then apply the gas laws and conservation of...

This is an apt assignment for chemistry takers that are studying ionic solutions. Eight questions require problem solving and critical thinking to answer. The first question instructs learners to use a table in the textbook, but you can...

Students discover how courts determine property possession using evidence. In this critical analysis lesson, students use provided case studies and evidence to determine legal possession. This lesson would be suitable for group work and...

Help your class explore the question "Is it ever right to disobey a law?" With a strong base of knowledge about the Civil War, anti-slavery movement, and Underground Railroad, your class explores civil disobedience in Marshall, Michigan...

So many rules and so little time. Make it easy and provide all the exponent and radical rules in one place as an easy reference guide. All of the properties come with several examples to show how the rules apply to different problems. 

Students convert Celsius to Kelvin temperature. Students conduct three lab experiments, gas law simulations using Internet applets, lectures and demonstrations. The Laws included are Boyle's, Charles, Combined Gas, Ideal Gas, and Gram's...

Students model scenarios using functions and their properties. In this trigonometry instructional activity, students calculate the angles of sine, cosine and tangent. They perform operation using a calculator.
