How can your class determine the relationship between experimental data? Learners discover how to express direct and inverse relationships through examples and sample problems in a video. The narrator takes data from tabular to graphical form, then demonstrates how to create an equation from the data that also shows the relationship.

Instructional Ideas

• Have pupils create their own scenarios similar to the ones in the video to generate equations for direct and inverse relationships
• Use a sample problem from the resource as an exit ticket for the day's lesson
  

Classroom Considerations

• Presents content at a beginner's level, so requires little prior knowledge to understand the concepts
  

• This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

• Resource illustrates the path between data, the equation, and the resulting graph
• Versatile video that is easy to use high school science class where students analyze data
  

Cons

• None
