Students investigate the flight of paper boomerangs. In this flight lesson, students examine the flight variables of paper boomerangs, which they make, by investigating the concepts of lift and drag. They examine what happens when an...

Students create a timeline and scan pictures for it. In this timeline instructional activity, students use an interview of a family member to create a timeline for that person. They scan photographs to add to their computer made...

Students explore properties of triangles using angle bisectors, incenters, circles, midpoints, and altitudes. They use Geometer's Sketchpad in order to create triangles and their properties.

In this transformations learning exercise, students solve and graph 8 different problems related to various forms of functions. First, they write the equation for the graph of a function given. Then, students describe the transformations...

Young scholars make a sundial. In this time instructional activity, students determine the time of the day by creating a sundial. They check the time on the sundial, hourly, for one week. Afterward, they explore what happened to the...

In this algebra worksheet, learners graph exponential equations and use the formula to translate the graph on a coordinate plane. There are 3 word problems.

Students design and construct a simple page scanner

For this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders examine the affects of changing h and k in the vertex form of the parabola.  The three page worksheet provides explanation of topic, worked examples, and four practice problems. ...

Young scholars factor quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students apply the binomial square theorem to solve quadratics. They complete the square and use the complex number system to solve for the roots.

Pupils discuss how the horizontal transport of heat from equatorial regions polewards drives global wind systems.

Students investigate the earth's structural layers by participating in hands-on activities. They identify the earth's structure and investigate earthquakes.

In this function worksheet, students observe graphs and determine if the function of the graph is odd or even. They find the inverse of a function and determine the horizontal asymptote of a function. This four-page worksheet contains...

Learners listen to their heart beats. For this biology lesson plan, students explore pulse rates and factors that cause them to change. Learners also construct both a graph to show variation in pulse rates and a simple stethoscope.

Students build a model of a submersible that will allow them to explore ballasts and how they operate.  In this hands on lesson students participate in an activity that shows them how to control buoyancy.

Young scholars create a diagram based on rocks using a computer program. They use the program to put their thoughts in order and to have a sheet to reference to.

Students discuss movement of air currents and then experiment to create visible models of air currents. Students connect the model to weather patterns.

High schoolers make informed choices among technology systems, resources, and services. They select and apply technology tools for research, information analysis, problem solving, and decision making in content learning.

Students work in teams to conduct short surveys of their classmates. They show their results using at least two different types of graphs. Students separate into teams and are asked that each team to choose something that they are...

Students analyze an article about fight traffic and answer questions.  In this investigative instructional activity students study flight and fill out a worksheet pertaining to the information that they just learned. 

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Learn about the effects of shifting quadratic functions vertically.

Includes rules, examples, and sample problems on 6 different types of translations; vertical and horizontal shift, stretch, and reflection. Uses six basic functions (x, x^2, x^3, 1/x, x^1/2, and abs(x)) throughout examples, which makes...

Shift functions horizontally and vertically, and practice the relationship between the graphical and the algebraic representations of those shifts. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly,...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Introduction to function transformations, including vertical and horizontal shifts.

A survey of math graphing techniques includes horizontal and vertical shifts, stretching, lines of symmetry, even and odd functions, and absolute value functions.
