Curated OER
Boyle's Law Lab
For this gas lab, students use a pressurized soda bottle with a closed end syringe to simulate Boyle's Law. They alter the volume and watch the effects on the pressure of the gas. They plot their data and answer eight post lab questions.

How many isosceles triangles can you find?
Seventh graders recognize the characteristics of isosceles triangles. In this isosceles triangle lesson, 7th graders use geoboards to create isosceles triangles. Students record results and explain why they have an isosceles triangle.

Social Studies:
Students identify various types of breads fromother countries and locate them on maps. In small groups, they make story maps of books that mention bread and make books resembling sandwiches. Students have a bread tasting party and...
Curated OER
Exploring Ecosystems
Fourth graders investigate ecosystems. In this ecosystem lesson, 4th graders explore producers, consumers, and decomposers and study the interdependence of each.
Curated OER
Worksheet 10 - Spring 1996
In this math worksheet, students investigate how a series can apply the law of convergence. They also test the functions using convergence.
Curated OER
Roller Coaster Robot
Students calculate the area under a curve. In this calculus instructional activity, students use Riemann sums to find and approximate the area under a curve. They use the derivative and differential equations to solve.
Curated OER
Worksheet 13
For this math worksheet, students define how for a given value of x, the series S(x) converges. Then they prove how convergence can be absolute.
Curated OER
Seashore Sweep
Students gather information about sea animals. In this ocean lesson, students read a story about the ocean and seashore. They discuss the needs of seashore animals and create a Mystery Ocean Animal riddle book. Students also discuss...
Curated OER
Slope Fields and Euler's Method
For this slope field worksheet, students use a slope field for a rate equation. Using Euler's Method, they identify the piecewise linear function approximating the solution of the initial value problem. This four-page worksheet...

"The Science Times"
Students create their own newspaper after gathering information at the Museum of Natural History's Hall of Biodiversity.
Curated OER
Complex Analysis: Polar & Exponential Forms
In this polar and exponential form instructional activity, students use Euler's Formula to write complex numbers in exponential form. They write numbers in rectangular form. This two-page instructional activity contains seven...
Curated OER
Down on the Ocean Floor
Learners build a map of the Atlantic Ocean floor and mark the different depths. In this ocean floor lesson students identify parts of the ocean floor that they created and discuss patterns that they see.
Curated OER
Do You See What I See?
Students observe and describe different objects seen under a microscope and compare the individual perspectives of what was seen.
Curated OER
Building a Ship Lesson Plan
Pupils draw a ship to scale, and calculate the real life size. They show that measurements on the drawingsare annotated with the distances reported in inches (fractions and decimals), and their real-world equivalents
Curated OER
Properties of Fractals
Students build a working definition of regular fractal, look carefully at the concepts of dimension and scale, and are introduced to logarithms. They solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial and error and using...
