“Don’t Lose the Light”- a hands-on approach to exponential decay
This lesson plan helps students understand exponential functions by using an LED circuit. LED luminosity decreases at an exponential rate as more are added in series. As students add more lights to the circuit they will see the brightness of the lights dim and by measuring luminosity with a simple cell phone app, the students can actually chart the decrease in luminosity and find a trend line.

This is a great opportunity to show students that coding can be a lot of fun, and it doesn’t have to be scary. Many high school students with little to no prior coding experience often automatically
In this lesson plan, students will be able to build a simple electric motor and study how simple changes affect the motor's rotation. They will learn how energy comes in many forms, and how electric
