Cold Hard Facts...What Inquiring Minds Will Know
Students work with "ice" in order to gain a practical application of math concepts that evolve into an inquiry-based study. They determine if the dimensions of the ice make a difference in the way the ice floats in the water.
Curated OER
Skateboard Disaster
Students conduct a hands-on experiment with collisions between two skateboards of different masses. They are introduced to the concept of conservation of momentum in collisions and consider how their observations might help engineers...

Power, Work and the Waterwheel
Students use a two-liter bottle, dowel rod and index cards to design and construct a water wheel. They then calculate the power created and measure the work done by the water wheel in Watts and Joules.
Curated OER
Calculus
Young scholars make an inquiry with the aid of technology into the concept of functions. The emphasis of the lesson plan is on the interplay between the geometric and analytic information.

Sophia Learning
Sophia: Linear Correlation Tutorial
Use examples to determine and explain the linear correlation of independent and dependent variables.
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Positive and Negative Linear Associations From Scatter Plots
Practice identifying the types of correlations shown in scatter plots. Sometimes we see linear correlations (positive or negative), sometimes we see non-linear correlations (the data seems to follow a curve), and other times we don't see...
