Curated OER
Marine Mammal Diving Reflex
Tenth graders discuss marine mammal diving reflex, and measure pulse rate while holding their breath under three conditions: control, warm water, and ice water to determine if humans exhibit marine mammal diving reflex.
Curated OER
Famous Public Properties
Students identify and use the commutative properties of addition and multiplication, associative properties of addition and multiplication, and the distributive property of multiplication over addition.
Curated OER
Understanding Equations of Functions
Pupils write equations for different functions. For this algebra lesson, students observe data and find the function that goes along with that data. The identify the line of best fit.
Curated OER
Monitoring Oxygen Level
Students measure oxygen percentages in room air and air exhaled after they perform various activities. They explore various websites, and record and analyze the data from the experiments.
Curated OER
Technology - Chaos Theory Lab
Ninth graders gain an understanding of Chaos Theory that exists in one's everyday environment.

The Babylonian Algorithm, Limits and Rates of Change
For this successive approximations worksheet, students use the Babylonian algorithm to determine the roots of given numbers. They identify the limits of a function, and compute the rate of change in a linear function. This two-page...
Curated OER
Modeling With Circular Functions
Pupils explore circular functions. They identify the amplitude, period, phase shift and vertical shift of circular functions. Students analyze phenomena described by sine waves and they find mathematical models for transforming images of...
