Algebra II: Exponential Functions
Learners investigate, describe, and predict the effects of parameter changes on the graphs of exponential functions; describe limitations on the domains and ranges of these functions; and examine asymptotic behavior.

Classifying Functions
Eleventh graders sort different types of functions including rational, periodic, exponential, polynomial, quadratic, logarithmic and linear using "function cards." The functions are displayed in multiple representations including...

Ocean Acidification
After brainstorming what they know about ocean acidification, youngsters place eggs in acid to determine the effects on calcium-containing organisms, and add carbon dioxide to solutions with sea shell material to discover the impact on pH.
Curated OER
Logariths
Students analyze, discuss and memorize the properties of logs. In this calculus lesson plan, students apply the rules of logs while playing a timed game to see which group can write the equations correctly. They walk away from this...

Acid Rain
Students understand the dynamics of acid rain and its impact on the living and non-living environment. They hypothesize how acid rain affects water pH levels in two lake systems with differing watershed features.
