Students solve two problems involving the motion of projectile objects, modeled using quadratic equations. Students graph parabolas and use the graphs to answer questions about projectile objects. Students identify the…
In this activity, students interact with 12 models to observe emergent phenomena as molecules assemble themselves. Investigate the factors that are important to self-assembly, including shape and polarity. Try to…
This initial module from the GENIQUEST project introduces the dragons and the inheritance of their traits, then delves into meiosis and its relationship to inherited traits. Students examine the effects…
Geniverse is a game-like environment where students experiment with dragon genetics, engage in critical thinking, and write scientific arguments. Teachers play an active role, guiding students’ understanding and making connections…
Have you ever wondered why oil and water don’t mix? Discover why some substances dissolve in water while others don’t….
Learn about exponential functions by graphing various equations representing exponential growth and decay. Graph these functions by connecting ordered pairs on x-y axes. » Lesson Plan and Student Assessment documents…
Students learn to graph the equation of a quadratic function using the coordinates of the vertex of a parabola and its x-intercepts. After completing this activity, students will be able…
In this activity, you will use a temperature sensor to relate changes in sunlight to the temperature of the air trapped in a container.
In this activity, you will use a computer model to explore how Earth’s atmosphere affects the energy balance between incoming and outgoing radiation….
In this activity you will build a model greenhouse and explore light and temperature levels over the course of an artificial day….
