Explore the difference between stochastic and deterministic modeling through programming. First have the class write algorithms for relatively simple tasks using pseudocode. Use the Python 2.7 program app to simulate Mendel's Pea Pod...

High schoolers answer questions about the altitude range of the sun over time in Barrow, Alaska.

Learners work in a cooperative group of three to solve algebraic equations with roles assigned for manipulator, recorder, and checker. They utilize hands-on learning materials imbedded in the lesson plan.

Students solve weight equations. For this equations lesson, groups of students weigh and separate pennies to find information necessary to solve simultaneous equations. The teacher provides equations based on the weight of pennies before...

Students create a table of ordered pairs, using variables (dependent and independent), writing equations, converting metric and standard measurements for distance using mileposts.

Use this worksheet as a warm up, a refresher exercise, or a practice after a more detailed lesson on graphing linear inequalities in two variables. Start with boundaries that are horizontal or vertical, then move into graphs with...

Learners practice graphing relationships between variables by studying topics such as exponential growth and decay. They conduct a series of numerical experiments using a computer model and a variety of physical experiments using mold,...

In this math worksheet, students state Newton's second law of motion and his law of gravity. Then they state Kepler's three laws of planetary motion.

Ninth graders explore mathematical properties through the use of an advertising jingle. They produce a commercial that is digitized and presented to the class. Students write a jingle that simplifies each property and helps classmates...

Diamond problems are a great way to have students solve and complete 5 various types of problems that include measurement and using algebra tiles to solve expressions. First, they copy each diamond and solve it. Then, 8th graders compute...

Students, who are adult learners, participate in an Internet scavenger hunt in order to assimilate information about the biography of Alexander Hamilton and the Federalist Papers. They look at the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers...

Fifth graders determine what muscles do and identify the different types. In this muscle lesson, 5th graders discuss what they know about muscles before looking at the book, The Human Body by Jonathan Miller. They take a teacher made...

Students compare and contrast objects and are introduced to a Venn Diagram. In this alike and different lesson, students make observations regarding properties of objects. Students classify object and build ideas about variables....

In this temperature conversions worksheet, learners are given the equations to convert from one unit of temperature to the other. They solve four problems using these equations.

Learners explain the purpose of hieroglyphics and identify their role in communicating ideas. They research the history of writing and it's significance in ancient Egyptian life and identify the components of hieroglyphics.

Students explore questions which cannot be handled with simple pendulums, and examine both the usefulness and the limitations of approximations in science. A Java applet created from a Stella model is included.

Students examine the potentials, both positive and negative, of adapting an international 'Internet time' system. They create and solve word problems that require them to translate between the current time system and Internet time.

In this algebra learning exercise, 9th graders define rational and irrational numbers and answer questions about properties of real numbers. There are 38 questions on this test.

Young scholars convert recipes for tortillas. They calculate the amounts of ingredients as they convert recipes and write an explanation of the task to demonstrate their calculations. After reviewing their calculations, they demonstrate...

In this permutations worksheet, students identify a transpose matrix, and create a permutation matrix. This three-page worksheet contains six problems.

Students are able to identify the units associated with linear work. They are able to calculate the work done on an object. Students discover how the force exerted on an object and the distance the object moves determines the work done...

In this determinant worksheet, students explore determinants, area and volume. This two-page worksheet contains explanations and examples. It provides two problems for students to solve.

Before graphing and finding distances, learners investigate the coordinate plane and look at patterns related to plotted points. Points are plotted and the goal is to look at the horizontal and vertical distances between coordinates and...

Are we there yet?  Young trip planners learn about their state and plan a trip. They will select sites to see in three cities in their state, and record associated costs in a spreadsheet. While this was originally designed as a...
