Students compare and contrast a live versus an animated performance of the same title. They view and take notes during the animated version, take a field trip to observe the live version, and write an opinion on which performance is most...

Learners are introduced to the principles involved with technological design. In groups, they use the Internet to research an important historical innovation and how it changed the world. They discover the barriers that were involved in...

Students create a webquest on any topic that they would like. Before students begin their webquest project they visit a webquest and select the Social Studies; they then choose "Blmorhea-Oasis in the Desert." They work through the...

Students examine the relationship between the environment and those that have to live in it. They discover that we are responsible for our environment and understand the consequences of its neglect.

Students investigate the nature and work of simple tools and mechanics. They explain how each simple machine can be used in real world applications. They explore levers, balance beams, windlasses, wedges, gears, ocarinas, harmonicas,...

Tenth graders analyze the growth rate of different population. In this biology experiment, 10th graders identify the biotic and abiotic factors that limit population size. They create a poster to show their findings in class.

This video highlights various careers in logistics that are available in and around the Lehigh Valley. Paul Davis from Nestle discusses how Nestle owns their own trucks and that his division manages using those trucks to deliver products...

This Career Clip features Philip Stockdale, Logistics Manager at DSC Logistics. The facility that Philip works in is a 1.2 million square foot facility with 150 employees and what he enjoys the most is that everyday is different. Philip...

Simulation of a logistic map with fixed points where the user can manipulate periodic trajectories and observe the results.

In this activity, the logistic model for the growth of the world's population will be developed.

For this task, students are presented with an equation for a logistic growth model and are asked to analyze it. They are then questioned about a graph showing bacterial population growth. Next, they must use information from earlier...

In this activity, Students can use a pH sensor to record pH versus base volume data for an acid base titration. They will manually model the curve using a logistic function.

Students will collect world population data from the Internet, find a logistic model for the data, and use their model to predict future populations.

Students are introduced to logistic growth curves using a graphing calculator. Lab data includes the number of bacteria over a 20-hour period. The activity numerically approximates the derivative and uses regression to find a curve...

For this task, students are presented with a graph showing the growth of the U.S. population from 1790 to 1940 and are given the equation for a logistic function for it. They are asked to use the equation and the graph to find the...

In this TI InterActive! activity, students analyze statistical data using the calculator or the TI InterActive!software. They approximate Cable TV Revenues using logistic regression.

The example investigates logistics curves and slope fields. The handout is available in PDF format and includes a slope field.

In this Computer Algebra System (CAS) activity, students investigate differential equations analytically, graphically and numerically and see relationships between the three approaches.

In this environmental science fair project, students will learn some of the ways in which the population growth of animals is modeled, and then use the logistic model to determine how a population grows when it starts far below, at, or...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Check out the patterns of population growth and recognize the exponential and logistic growth similarities and differences.

Learn about three models of population growth: linear, exponential, and logistic. Then conduct a population experiment to see how populations can work in the real world, and see how linear graphs can help simplify complicated ones.

Charlie determines the probability that a suspect is male or female based on the suspect's height and logistic regression in the "All's Fair" episode of the show NUMB3RS. The lesson includes calculator keystrokes and screenprints to help...

Cross curricular lines while integrating technology into your classroom to study a real-world application of logistic regression. This activity shows students how to enter data into their graphing calculators and perform a regression in...

Students will create a scatter plot of the number of Internet subscribers during 2004 through 2008 using the USA TODAY Snapshot "Internet phone subscribers soar." This activity will allow students to explore real-life data that will be...
