For this math worksheet, students solve differential equations. Students use similar equations, and analyze ways they differ from one another. Students draw directional fields and sketch solutions. The final three questions are...

Students examine a line of points through its slope. They plot points using sticky notes of a balloon's movement amd determine the slope of the lines plotted.

Challenge your class to identify, label, and draw a wide range of symmetries with this worksheet. In addition, learners name symmetrical shapes and compare them to alphabet letters. This worksheet asks class members to work with lines of...

For this differential worksheet, students read a word problem and write a differential equation and solve it. They draw the slope field for given problems. This two-page worksheet contains 9 multi-step problems.

Want your class to rock? Then try this boulder activity. Pupils learn about a specific boulder field and use edible materials to demonstrate the geological processes that formed this unique feature. Weathering, erosion, and mass...

Geometry—it's not just for the math classroom! Learners explore the field of forestry through a mathematical lens. An instructional resource explains how forest workers collect data about trees such as height, diameter, and age...

Take the next step in separating. Pupils pick up from the previous lesson to now find the particular solution of a differential equation at a given point. Scholars watch three examples of finding the particular solution and hear the...

Students examine the types and effects of bullying. In a silent sitting exercise, they reflect on a time they felt sorry for hurting someone and imagine how happy that person is to know they are sorry. Students participate in a...

Students study stream speed.  In this stream speed lesson plan students complete an activity and formulate an opinion and study its effects.

Avoid the mines and win the game! Young scholars direct a robot through a minefield by plotting points. Their goal is to reach the target in as few moves as possible.

Students participate in a mock oil search game and attempt to find "oil" in a model oil field. They drill initially based on random guessing, but each time they drill they use prior knowledge to determine where to drill next. They must...

Learners explore how to use trigonometry in the aviation field.  In this aviation lesson students complete trigonometry equations that show what planes should do to land their airplanes.

Eight groups in your class are each responsible for a different aspect of surveying the campus for a suitable rain garden location. Features to consider include water flow, topography, sun/shade patterns, land surface, vegetation,...

Young scholars investigate the characteristics of the tundra on the North Slope of Alaska. They conduct Internet research, develop a chart of the types of vegetation, plant growth, and fauna found on the tundra, identify examples in...

Using TI-89, mathematicians explore and investigate Riemann sums to estimate the area under the graphs of intervals by drawing and illustrating rectangles. They review and practice the concepts of summation notation and area formulas to...

Pupils investigate integrals and their relationship to velocity in this calculus lesson. They use the idea of a moving elevator to explore vertical motion and use the TI to help them create a visual.

Young scholars calculate the solution using integrals in this calculus lesson. They use the TI to create a visual of how to compute integrals. Learners also use substitution by integration and all its properties.

Pupils solve problems using integration by parts in this calculus lesson plan. Learners apply the product rule and integration by parts. They graph the equation and use the TI to observe the integration process.

Students calculate the area under a curve. In this calculus lesson, students use Riemann Sums to find the area under a curve. They apply the boundaries of intervals as they solve for each area.

Students hike a local mountain and examine its life zones. They measure various components at each zone and collect leaf litter at the sites. At the mountain top, students make descriptive observations and complete a handout about the...

A short story about a nighttime adventure at summer camp provides readers with a chance to practice their comprehension skills. 

Students investigate the greenhouse effect and examine the potential effects of climate change in the Arctic. They construct a mini-greenhouse and test its effect on temperature, analyze historical climate statistics, and conduct an...

This traditional textbook style unit includes vocabulary, a direct explanation section, examples, practice problems that directly line up with the explanations and examples, and a unit summary review and practice problems. Learners get...

In this stability of equilibrium values learning exercise, students explore equilibrium solutions and classify them as asymptotically stable or not asymptotically stable. They justify their reasoning. This four-page learning exercise...
