Quadratic Function Activity About Your Dental Arch
Through this activity students will discover properties of parabolas while comparing the parabola they all carry around with them every day - their dental arch. Students will brainstorm ways to measure a dental arch and ultimately take an "impression" of their arch by taking a bite out of a slice of bread. Then they will trace their arch onto a graph, use the graph to generate a table of values, and then use the table to plug into an equation for the most "perfect" dental arch. Students love

Engineering: Weights and Measures Conversion Tables
A weights and measures conversion table is useful when converting and calculating engineering, construction and STEM problem solving projects and activities. It helps students learn how to locate information and convert that information into their calculations. The conversion table also allows teachers to increase the rigor in their activities and problem solving projects by supplying students access to the needed information to accurately calculate a complex problem.

How Much for Those Fries? The Math in Action Series.
Ever wonder how the price at a "Fast Food" restaurant may be determined. This activity may just answer that question for you. The application of mathematical theory has always been the "when will I ever use this Real Life" attitude from our students. I created this lesson to reinforce the theory of graphing data, calculating an equation of best fit, and formulating a conclusion. Each student will be able to see the usefulness of mathematics in a Real World setting. Common core stand

Exponential Logarithm Trigonometric Activities and Labs
This project set includes 8 projects that are cooperative learning, hands-on labs. Students collect data that fit exponential, logarithmic, or trigonometric patterns. Students will create equations from the data and use the equations to make predictions. Many of the equations students create will be through the regression process on graphing calculators or spreadsheets.

Lab: Heat of Fusion of Ice
This calorimetry lab can be done with either the use of a bunsen burner setup or a hot plate. It can be done as a demo with student assistance while the class collects the data and does the calculations together or as a traditional lab. In this version of the common high school staple, a lot of the extra background text has been removed, the data tables are easy to fill out, and the calculations are explained in a straightforward way. While this concept of conservation of energy is often challen

Lab: Density
This density lab is perfect for any physical or biological science class. It practices skills like measuring mass and volume (geometrically and by displacement), and you can use any small items you have on hand. (No more looking around for the "iron cubes" listed in the lab materials). It is suggested that if you use items that are less dense than water that they have regular geometric shapes so that volume may be determined mathematically.
