Coffee Ground Dinosaur Fossil Prints
Students create fossils to understand how scientists learn about dinosaurs. For this dinosaur lesson, students mix ingredients to make dough and put in objects that can make impressions. Students let fossil dry overnight....
Curated OER
Symmetric Secant
Mathematicians use a symmetric secant line to prove the derivative at a point. In this trigonometry lesson plan, students create secant lines on the navigator to analyze the derivative. They move the lines around and make observations.
Curated OER
Tessellations with Regular Polygons
Show your learners how to create tessellations using different polygons. This is achieved by having students make observations of polygons to find the ones that will tessellate.
Curated OER
Parabolic Paths
High schoolers investigate properties of parabolas. In this algebra lesson, students identify the different paths of a parabola. They use the navigator to make observations of the parabola.
