Students need to learn basic internet safety, which starts with developing strong login and site passwords before doing any research on the internet. Creating and managing strong, secure passwords is
Student will be able to compare the energy content of two common fuels used for energy production (ethanol and kerosene). Students will work with a partner to investigate the efficiency and
Students will discover the Empirical Formula for the synthesis of Magnesium and Oxygen through a laboratory experiment in which they will react Magnesium Ribbon with atmospheric Oxygen by super
Calculating Moles to gram of multiple different compounds to make playdough. Includes easy and advanced practice problems (with answers) and teacher background knowledge. Basic easy ingredients are
Lesson explores compounds, mixtures and solutions, defining each and what distinguishes them from each other. Students complete a lab as an introduction, use a PowerPoint to refine their knowledge and
Students measure the temperature of water as it cools to learn about heat transfer and thermal properties while using line of best fit, linear regressions and/or quadratic regressions.
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 will research and estimate the potential cost and benefit of building a very large solar energy facility is the Arizona desert. The main objective is for students to build math and modeling
This lesson uses a PhET Simulation to allow students to collect data on the orbits of planets around our Sun, then summarize and share their results. It is designed for students in Grades 9-12.
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 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
A look at 3 different injuries and the different systems that are affected and the math behind the functions of the body and medical interventions.
Students play a game to model and graph the effects an invasive species on a local ecosystem before analyzing a case study and completing a research project.
Students will build the distance formula in a spreadsheet to create a sort of "calculator." Students begin by comparing standard math notation with spreadsheets, then practice programming simple math
In this lesson students will identify what groundwater flow is, how it affects our water shed and do a two part experiment tying all the information learned in the lesson into a hands-on experience.
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
This lesson plan involves dilation and scale factors and how the human eye perceives 3D when it only uses 2D images. The hands on activity is a perspective drawing of a city scape and teaches about
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.
Students will use SEEK or other species identification tools to create a database of biodiversity on campus. The lesson starts with a discussion of the importance of biodiversity to the functioning of
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.
