The goal of this activity is to give students the opportunity to “think like a scientist,” making hypotheses, doing experiments, making observations, and analyzing data. Students are encouraged to construct…
Learn about exponential decay in real-world situations. Problems involve the application of depreciation of an asset and radioactive decay. Learn to apply exponential decay equations and interpret graphs. This is…
Learn about exponential growth in real-world situations. Problems involve the application of compound interest and exponential population growth. This is the second of three activities for teaching and learning about…
Explore how protein folding creates distinct, functional proteins by examining each of the four different levels of protein structure.
What if there were no friction? This unit explores the role of friction in everyday life.
What if there were no friction? This unit explores the role of friction in everyday life.
In this activity, students study gas laws at a molecular level. They vary the volume of a container at constant temperature to see how pressure changes (Boyle’s Law), change the…
This activity addresses Boyle’s Law from a physiological perspective….
This activity uses the phenomena of hydrogen-filled weather balloons and hot air balloons to explore some of the gas laws.
Learn about a disease in the dragon population and set out to learn the basics behind pinpointing a gene location using QTL analysis….
