Curated OER
Functions/Domain
Students differentiate their problems to find functions and non-functions. In this calculus lesson, students relate functions and relation through similarities and differences. They rewrite equations that are functions using f(x).

Conic Sections and Locii
Students differentiate between ellipse and hyperbola. For this algebra lesson, students graph and solve elliptical equations. They use the cabri program to create the different conics and move them around.
Curated OER
Exploring Special Lines
Students compare and order numbers. In this geometry instructional activity, students write equations for inequalities. They differentiate and apply concepts of triangular properties to solve problems.

The Power Steering Is Out?
Students use the point slope formula to calculate the slope and equation of a line. In this algebra lesson, students identify point on a coordinate plane using a robot. They differentiate between the different quadrants a they follow the...
Curated OER
Using a Multi- Sensory Approach
Learners identify the slope of a line given two points on the line. In this algebra lesson, students solve linear equations by finding and comparing slopes of lines. They differentiate between the steepness of the slope and the line.
Curated OER
Photosynthesis and Respiration
Eighth graders differentiate photosynthesis and respiration. In this biology lesson, 8th graders draw a diagram explaining these two processes. They answer a quiz after the lesson.

Newton’s Law of Cooling, Revisited
Does Newton's Law of Cooling have anything to do with apples? Scholars apply Newton's Law of Cooling to solve problems in the 29th installment of a 35-part module. Now that they have knowledge of logarithms, they can determine the decay...
Curated OER
Infestation to Extermination
High schoolers solve problems with exponential growth and decay. In this calculus lesson, students relate exponential functions to infestation and extermination. They take the derivative to find their answer.
Curated OER
Pendulum Motion
Students explore questions which cannot be handled with simple pendulums, and examine both the usefulness and the limitations of approximations in science. A Java applet created from a Stella model is included.
