Zoe from the StudyJams! crew brings the properties of addition to life by clearly explaining the meaning of the associative, commutative, and identity properties as she collects photos for an album. Listen to the included karaoke song...

Marbury v. Madison is arguably the most important landmark case in the history of the Supreme Court. A fact-filled lesson provides background information about the case and two others related to the concept of judicial review. Scholars...

Reflection seems simple to understand, but without a complete understanding, pupils struggle with ray diagrams, specular versus diffuse reflection, total internal reflection, and image formation. An engaging interactive provides three...

We hear a lot about the importance of the rule of law, but most people do not really know what those words mean. The lesson is a webpage that defines the rule of law, explains why it is important in a democratic society and provides...

Learners sometimes struggle to understand the concept of adding and subtracting integers. Help them see the why behind their answers using the interactive number line. The values change as individuals adjust the number line for each new...

Free-body diagrams display all forces acting on an object, helping scientists represent Newton's Laws of Motion. Scholars read a short description of motion and view the free-body diagram to begin the installment of a larger series on...

One chemical formula—but how many different structures? Familiarize young chemists with the concept of isomers through simple, related games. Users identify each isomer base upon its name, structure, and type of isomerization in a set of...

Magnifying glasses and cameras often use converging lenses, but how do they alter an image? Pupils discover a lens, axis, and object arrow before identifying four characteristics of the resulting image. They label the location,...

Limits to infinity are simple to find if you can compare numerators and denominators. Users of the interactive drag expressions to match with their limit as x approaches infinity. A set of challenge questions assesses their groupings.

Welcome to the fast-paced life of a gas atom! Learners gaze at gaseous atoms up close using a colorful interactive. They can highlight two atoms and observe their movements within their container or follow the dizzying path of one atom...

Breaking news, President Johnson addresses the nation! Scholars watch a video of President Johnson's address to Congress regarding the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. The activity focuses on the  motivation behind the resolution and the...

When is the trigonometric value of a negative angle the same as the positive angle? Pupils compare the values of trigonometric functions for different angles and their negatives. The interactive resource provides a visual display to make...

Take me out to the trig class. Individuals use an interactive to see how angles on a baseball field change as the position of two runners change. A set of challenge questions has them apply the Law of Cosines to solve problems.

Poor Sam! His graham crackers have undergone a physical change, so he can't make his s'mores! Mia explains that their molecules haven't changed, therefore they are still graham crackers. The two teens then discuss clues that would...

Does a protein or DNA store genetic instructions for life? Follow the research from the 1920's experiments on mice through the 1940's experiments on bacteria to learn the answer to the difficult question. Scholars use an online...

Tired of blowing up countless balloons to illustrate orbital shapes around an atom? Give your lungs a break and use an interactive instead! Learners observe s, p, d, and f orbitals through the first four energy levels using hydrogen as a...

Your students will be typing faster than you in no time with the help of this fun game. Similar to the classic Atari game Space Invaders, students must type words to prevent space ships from attacking as they move from the top of the...

How can you determine the rate of change on a curve? Pupils use the interactive to discover what happens with the average rate of change as the point move closer to the other. Using the definition of the derivative, learners find that it...

Approximate the volume of a solid of revolution. Using a method similar to approximating the area under a curve, pupils investigate the volume of a solid of revolution. The learners use a given definite integral to find the volume of...

Map this! Help your young mathematicians draw a circular island on a map. Given specifics of the location and size of an island on a map, pupils transform a circle to meet the given requirements. They then determine the location of the...

It's all about location and size. With the aid of the interactive, pupils explore the relationship between the location and size of a circle and its equation. The learners use that relationship to determine the equation of a circle given...

Challenge your class to use straight lines when estimating the length of a curve. An engaging interactive allows individuals to place line segments one after another along the arc. Learners determine that the more lines used, the better...

Shift the function and transform the key features of the graph. By translating the graph of the rational function, class members find out how the key features alter. Pupils determine the domain, range, asymptotes, and intervals of...

Graphically find the derivative of sin(x). Using the interactive, pupils graph the slope of the tangent line to the sine function. Class members use the resulting graph to determine the derivative of the sine function. They verify their...
