TIMS, The Bouncing Ball: Math, Science, Measurement, Graphs, Variables
Students determine the exact relationship between the height from which a ball is dropped and the distance that it rebounds.
Illustrative Mathematics
Transforming the graph of a function
This activity guides learners through an exploration of common transformations of the graph of a function. Given the graph of a function f(x), students generate the graphs of f(x + c), f(x) + c, and cf(x) for...

Modeling Linear Relationships
Students graph lines using the slope and y-intercept. In this algebra lesson, students create data using tables and equations. They use their data to make predictions and draw conclusion.
Curated OER
Creating an Enzyme-Substrate Model
High schoolers explore the reaction rates of an enzyme-mediated reaction through experimentation. In small groups, they use everyday objects to demonstrate the effects of environmental variables on enzyme function.
Students graph and...
Mathematics Assessment Project
Maximizing Area: Gold Rush
Presenting ... the gold standard for a lesson. Learners first investigate a task maximizing the area of a plot for gold prospecting. They then examine a set of sample student responses to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.
Curated OER
An Enzyme- Substrate Model
Students explore reaction rates of an enzyme-mediated reaction. They examine the effects of environmental variables on enzyme function. Students collect, graph, and analyze data relating to the reaction.
Curated OER
The Bernoulli Effect - Conceptually
Students observe and/or conduct five experiments which address the Bernoulli Effect. In this conceptual lesson based on the Bernoulli Effect, the students construct atomizers, and make concrete observations and inferences in connection...

The Bouncing Ball
Learners use the scientific method to conduct an experiment to test how a ball bounces. In this inquiry-based physical science and scientific method activity, students drop a ball from specified heights and record the rebound, then...
