Have your class investigate Piecewise functions by matching a position versus time graph to the function that describe the walk.

Pupils investigate the connection between factors, zeros, and graphs of quadratic functions.  The lesson requires the TI-nspire handheld.

Pupils find the difference between consecutive y-values on the calculator and write an equation that fits the data.  They continue finding the differences in consecutive y-values using lists on their calculator. Learners...

High Schoolers engage in a study of quadratic functions and focus upon the finding of equivalence and its connection between functions. They also practice factoring using the FOIL method while manipulating the equation. The lesson plan...

Learners examine plants using adiotapes, Internet research, and print media. They name the plant parts and discover their functions. Students create computer-generated pictures of their plants and label the parts. Other activities...

In this math worksheet, students solve the problems for the quadratic equations. They factor the equations and determine the probability of the two solutions.

Pupils collect data from tossing a ball into the air. Using a data collection device, they graph the data, set a window, and analyze the height of the toss, how long the ball was in the air, etc. They then find an equation that models...

Students perform a series of tests on water-based paints. In this chemistry lesson, students identify their different functions. They calculate paint density and fractional concentrations.

Seventh graders demonstrate the processes of science by posing questions and investigating phenomena through language, methods and instruments of science. They study the body features or systems of several animals.

Ninth graders investigate the structure of proteins and how it affects their function. They build a protein model with four helix units and describe how this structure aids the protein in doing its jobs.

Students, after reading about the parts of a plant, identify each part and describe its function.

Learners graph system of linear inequalities in this activity. Your class will use the Inequality Graphing App to enter linear programming functions into the calculator that can be stored for later use. They then determine the maximum...

Students create a model bridge using steel. In this bridges lesson plan, students study John Augustus Roebling and how he created bridges out of steel and the impact it had on society. Then students build their own bridge model.

Young scholars investigate exponential decay.  Students explore the biological half-life of Cesium-137.  Young scholars investigate the Goiania Accident of 1987 which is considered one of the worst incidents in the history of...

In this math worksheet, students read the instructions for setting up a computer program. Then they practice graphing the functions with the software program.

Sixth graders investigate the parts of a seed by using a digital camera.  In this botany lesson plan, 6th graders plant their own seeds in class and demonstrate the necessary attributes for growing a plant.  Students utilize a...

Pupils know about monocotyledons and dicotyledons. They explore the differences between the seed structure of the two by examining bean and corn seeds. They sprout seed to observe the differences in both of their growths.

Students with disabilities are tested in the use of language and taught the skill of asking for repetition in order to gain clarification and thus improve comprehension. They are assessed according to the practice of asking with...

Eighth graders conduct Internet research about Constitutional Amendments and present oral reports on their findings. Their reports also include visual representations depicting their chosen amendment's focal point. Students discuss the...

Ninth graders measure the insulation properties of different fabrics by immersing cans of water covered with fabric "socks" in an ice bath and measuring temperature changes. They then calculate heat loss and graph the data individually.

Young mathematicians represent a triangle with a matrix and use the determinant to find the area of three given triangles. Learners also verify the formula for area of a triangle. 

Students choose an aspect of Astronomy to research. In this lesson on technology, students  make a timeline of notable events in the development of astronomy and aerospace technology.

Students practice the economic concepts of scarcity and opportunity cost. They imagine creating their own businesses and brainstorm what they need to know in order to determine when the business is profitable.

Eighth graders explain the difference between igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. They identify the stages in the rock cycle. They discover the origin of rocks as well.
