In this limits and continuity test, students solve 8 multiple choice questions. They define the words limits and continuity. Students determine the limits of 8 functions. Students find the value for a constant in one function, and prove...

In this calculus exam worksheet, students solve 40 multiple choice and short answer questions.  Students find normal lines, derivatives of functions, evaluate functions at points, etc.

Students review the concept of a movement story. As a class, they practice moving in straight, curved and zigzag pathways while making frozen body shapes of the characters in the story. To end the lesson, they must complete the same...

Students study the metric system and examine other ways to measure.  For this measurement lesson students complete activities that help them to better understand the measuring system. 

Students participate in a parachute activity. In this physical education lesson, students use teamwork to lift a parachute and keep soft balls on top of it. Students demonstrate how working together can accomplish a goal.

Students perform a simulation of the workings of an electron microscope to discover that the resolution will need to improved to detect objects in the nano-scale. They use wooden dowels as detectors to determine the shape of objects in...

Students practice dribbling a basketball. They perform activities requiring walking, running, use of left and right hand. Students explore proper posture when dribbling. They experience the art of a progressive cross over. Students...

Students capture the serve motion of a tennis player with a digital or video camera. Using transparencies or a software package, analyze the speed, acceleration, displacement and time of the racquet head and ball in the tennis stroke.

Eighth graders experiment with M&M's and a cup attached to a spring to to simulate a bungee jump. They graph the results of the experiment and make predictions for continuing the experiment. They determine the "line of best fit."

In this activity, students collect the height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2. They find the relationship between the bounce number and the bounce height. They learn to graph scatter plots, calculate the maximum value...

Students determine the coefficient of restitution (or the elasticity) for super balls. Working in pairs, they drop balls from a meter height and determine how high they bounce. They measure, record and repeat the process to gather data...

In this activity, students' will create a Height-Time plot for a bouncing ball. They will examine how the ball's height changes mathematically from one bounce to the next.

In this activity, students will explore the rebound height of a ball and develop a function that will model the rebound heights for a particular bounce. The model can then be used to predict the height of the ball for any bounce.

In this activity, students' will record the motion of a bouncing ball using a motion detector. They will then model a bounce using both the general and vertex forms of the parabola.

In this activity, students will graph the height of a ball versus time after it is dropped from some height. They will then examine one ball bounce and investigate the parameters that effect the shape of the graph. They will also explore...

In this experiment, students collect the height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2. This activity investigates the values of height, time, and the coefficient A in the quadratic equation, which describes the behavior of...

In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to collect motion data for a bouncing ball. They will then analyze the data to test the exponential model of motion.

In this activity, students will explore the rebound heights of a ball and develop a sequence that will predict the rebound height of subsequent bounces. They will also find the total distance that the ball travels.

This task asks students to analyze a set of data about the height of a basketball for each time it bounces. They choose a model that reasonably fits the data and use the model to answer questions about the physical context. This variant...

This task asks students to analyze a set of data about the height of a basketball for each time it bounces. They choose a model that reasonably fits the data and use the model to answer questions about the physical context. This second...

In this activity, students will explore the position of a ball versus time for a single bounce. They will also examine the relationship between the height of the ball and its velocity.

In this activity, students will measure the bounce heights of golf balls dropped from a height. They examine the geometric sequence in the successive bounce heights and determine the constant or common ratio and the rate of decay of the...

Students measure effects of elasticity by dropping rubber balls, graphing the height of the bounces, and making conclusions about the causes and effects of the bounces.

Construct a device to measure the height of a bounced ball, then compare the bouncing heights of various types of balls. Record the results on a chart.
