Ever wonder how a butcher creates the different types of ground beef? Young mathematicians explore the methods butchers use to create their desired ground beef quality. Given a combination of two types of meat with varying...

A comprehensive practice exam, this resource covers many areas of chemistry. The test includes 71 multiple choice questions on topics such as problem solving, chemical equations, chemical formulas, thermodynamics, acids and bases, and...

An inquiry-based algebra lesson explores real-world applications of linear functions. Scholars investigate four different situations that can be modeled by linear functions, identifying the rate of change, as well as the...

Students investigate variables that influence the bouncing of balls.  In this exploratory lesson students observe how the manipulated and control variable are correlated by graphing the data.

Students use the FoilSim computer simulation program, and demonstrate an understanding of the lift variables by explaining their graphical representations. They demonstrate an understanding of forces and motion.

Students learn what happens when bleach comes in contact with various cloth fibers, chemical colors, nature and synthetics.

Ninth graders explore the concepts of motion, velocity and acceleration through graphing their own movement using LoggerPro. They become more familiar with the computer technology. Students explore graphing in real time and graph on...

Pupils use FoilSim to complete the activity and investigate the factors that affect lift and how wing area and lift are related.

Students solve problems using systems of equations. In this algebra activity, students find the point of intersection of two lines. They use the TI Calculator to graph and see the point of intersection.

Middle schoolers determine the velocity of a marble rolling down the incline. In this physics instructional activity, students identify the independent and dependent variables in the experiment. They construct and analyze a graph.

Learners construct a pendulums and experiment with what variables change or effect the rate at which they swing through an arc. They are assessed on scientific inquiry including the following skills: observation, data collection,...

Young scholars construct a car based on directions given. In this physics lesson, students calculate average speed using distance and time information. They collect data and create a graph of distance vs. time.

Students define normal distribution as it relates to the bell curve. In this statistics lesson, students use the central tendencies of mean, median and mode to solve problems. They plot their data and draw conclusion from the graphs.

Students discover the best practical shielding material when dealing with radioactive substances. They draw conclusions based on availability of materials, price, and best shielding properties.

Students design an experiment to test the variables involved in the hatching of the Bruchid beetle.

Learners use, with increasing confidence, problem-solving approaches to investigate and explain mathematical content. They make and test conjectures. They use tables and graphs as tools to interpret expressions, equations, and inequalities.

Students observe and count bird sightings around their schoolyard throughout the school year.

Students record data found at an assigned web site. In this data collection lesson, students access an assigned web site in order to complete a data chart about animals they see. They travel to different sections of the web site to find...

Students work together to design an experiment. They discover the origin of a family artifact. They analyze the data and discuss the results. They determine if the experiment is the best way to find out this type of information.

Young scholars experiment to determine the effect of light on cyanobacteria movement. They graph the data of the experiment for further analysis. They watch a time-lapse video of cyanobacteria motility at a NASA website.

Students collect and graph data and use the internet to research the skeletal muscles.

Students explore the scientific method. In this scientific method lesson plan, students use information gathered from a "Seed Dispersal" lab done previously to complete a worksheet listing the steps of the scientific method.

Students, after reading the explanation given below, use FoilSim and a graphing calculator to complete the activity to determine the relationship between airspeed and lift of an object by interpreting data.
