Grades: 9th Grade, 10th Grade, 11th Grade, 12th Grade

This lesson plan focuses on Torque, assuming prior knowledge of Rotational motion, angular velocity, angular acceleration, Newton's Laws for linear motion. It also introduces Newton's laws for

Grades: 9th Grade, 10th Grade, 11th Grade, 12th Grade

This lesson allows robotics students to redesign a working floor vacuum and design it to fit the needs of a robotics lab - it should be able to pick up heavier and larger objects or loose parts off

Grades: 9th Grade, 10th Grade, 11th Grade, 12th Grade

This is a continuation lesson in which we compare student data to the previous day's data using GeoGebra to help us generate dot plots and calculate statistics.

Grades: 9th Grade, 10th Grade, 11th Grade, 12th Grade

Students will create dot plots (both physically and using technology) to represent class data, determine important statistics, and interpret those statistics in context.

Grades: 9th Grade, 10th Grade, 11th Grade, 12th Grade

This set of lessons allows students to model the decay chains of radioactive isotopes and relate the mathematical patterns and scientific concepts together in a innovative and interactive way.

Grades: 6th Grade, 7th Grade, 8th Grade, 9th Grade, 10th Grade, 11th Grade, 12th Grade

In this lesson students will design a rough and final draft of an escape room using scale factor and ratios. Students will also create an escape plan using math at the level of the teachers choosing

Grades: 11th Grade, 12th Grade

In this lesson, students uses a PhET simulation to investigate the types of energy and its conservation. They then perform an actual experiment to prove or disprove their findings from the simulation.

Grades: 9th Grade, 10th Grade, 11th Grade, 12th Grade

Students begin by using the Google Sunroof website to compare the cost/benefits of installing solar panels on a home's roof using different financial methods- buying, leasing and renting panels. After

Grades: 9th Grade, 10th Grade, 11th Grade, 12th Grade

The quintessential chemistry lab, Flame Test Lab! Students will use spectroscopes to identify the component photons of light that are emitted from Spectrum Tubes and Flame Tests. Students will learn

Grades: 9th Grade, 10th Grade, 11th Grade, 12th Grade

This lesson has students create a dynamic poem, using at least 3 particular Literary Elements, that describes the form and function of a particular Anatomy & Physiology term. The students will also

Grades: 9th Grade, 10th Grade, 11th Grade, 12th Grade

This lesson is designed for students to derive the rules for circuits in series by experimenting with different variables in simple circuits in series using the PhET DC Electricity simulation lab.
