Polynomial Labs (Quadratics, Cubics, etc.) including Catapults!
This lab includes two versions of a catapult lab (calculus based and non-calculus based). Students work in groups to collect data on a ball launched using a catapult. Students create regression equations using a graphing calculator or spreadsheet.
Also included is a painted cubes lab that includes 4 types of functions.

Newton's Law of Cooling Mini-Lab
This is an activity for the differential equations chapter of high school calculus. Students will make their own measurements while a cup of hot water cools in their classroom, they'll generate an equation and draw the graph of an exponential function. It's a really good activity for students to gain a better understanding of how differential equations work and what they can be used for.

Sketching the Derivative Lab
This activity is designed to help students investigate the relationship between the original function and its derivative by determining the derivative using the limit process, graphing and comparing/contrasting.

Product Rule Practice Sheet
Some topics in math are best learned by rote. This is a worksheet that covers one topic - the product rule in differential Calculus - and contains *65* questions that very in difficulty, with *complete solutions*. This is a terrific resource for students who will be tested on performing the algorithm of differentiating a product of two functions. There are enough questions here that they can do as many as they need to in order to get the process down.
This is also a great tool for teachers.
