An Introduction to the Natural Logarithm (ln)
Students explore the dose response principle, an introduction to what the "natural log" (ln) is and how it behaves. They create and analyze a dose response graph.
Curated OER
Functions and the Vertical Line Test
Students explore the concept of functions. In this function lesson, students determine if the graph is a function by using the vertical line test. Students use an applet to explore the vertical line test on a variety of graphs.
