Curated OER
Bigger and Smaller - Exponent Rules
Learners study rules regarding exponents. It uses a situation from Alice in Wonderland in which Alice's height is doubled or reduced by half depending on what she consumes to introduce negative exponents and the rules for dividing powers.
Curated OER
Resistors and Scientific Notation
Young scholars explain the importance of scientific notation. In this physics lesson plan, students determine the resistance of resistors using the colored bands. They compare and contrast scientific notation and resistor band notation.
