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 Navajo Code Talker Mockup Radio Transmitter Project is an ELA/STEM hands-on lesson designed for 11th-grade students. This project-based lesson that involves students working in small groups to
A lesson to teach students how to collect, organize, interpret data, make inferences, raise awareness, and suggest possible solutions on the water quality of the waterbodies in the state of Arizona.
Students learn about the Colorado River watershed and the impact of water rights and usage. They will read about the past and present water flow data, build a model of the watershed, calculate data
This lesson is an activity to see what an angle is and how is can be used to approximate the time of day or even navigating vessels by measuring other celestial bodies. Students will use sextants to
This lesson is an activity to show how projectile motion and many other motions in nature fallow a parabolic curve. Students will manipulate that knowledge and analyze data using small play tanks to
Built as a month long, end of year project, students get to discover the water quality of several geographically different natural water sources by completing field research and data collection. As a
This lesson discusses and gives you a more in-depth understanding of the relationship of particles that are held together by a certain amount of energy. The energy is required to break bonds and the
This lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to experimental design and analysis leading students to develop the graphical and mathematical relationships for accelerated motion, or kinematics.
This a hands on activity that will have the students measure the frequency of a resonating glass bottle by using their cells phones. They will then combine with other groups to play a well known song
The purpose of this lesson is to introduce and apply the concept of frequency. Students will be begin by a motivating “click the mouse” challenge. This will help them to develop the concept of
The goal of these lessons is to introduce work and power and then apply it by having students find the power produced by a future NFL player. The students will then be challenged to see what type of
This is a modified version of the popular Birthday Polynomial project for Algebra 2/ Pre-Calculus. Students create and analyze a polynomial and its first and second derivatives using technology.
Students who have been studying logarithms can apply them using a chemistry lab to discover the pH of acetic acid (white vinegar) and even compare this to other acids.
This lesson is useful in a high school Physics or Calculus Class. Students will be matching Distance-Time and Velocity-Time Graphs, sometimes creating their own.
