Chemistry Lab: Exothermic and Endothermic Chemical Reactions Experiment
In this lab students measure the temperature change during two chemical reactions - one exothermic, and one endothermic. Students investigate the relationship between heat flow and temperature and complete "fill in the blank" style worksheets as they progress through the lab. The end result is a complete lab report following the scientific method.This lesson is self-contained and the experiment does not require any additional planning on the teacher's part.

Guided Exploration: Trig & Inverse Trig Functions
35-item teacher-lead inquiry into properties and behavior of Trigonometric/Inverse Trigonometric Functions. Best used at the beginning of a unit on trigonometric/inverse trigonometric functions (before demonstrating how to solve textbook problems), this activity invites students to use inductive reasoning and class discussion to discover the big ideas behind graphing trigonometric/inverse trigonometric functions without a graphing utility.

Quadratic Projectile Motion Lab with Data Set
In this activity, students analyze two different data sets that describe how projectiles fly through the air. The first describes the flight path of a thrown ball and the second describes the distance traveled by a ball dropped off a building over time. Using desmos.com, students fit linear and quadratic models to discover which quantities are related linearly (time and horizontal distance traveled) and which are related quadratically (time and vertical distance traveled.) They are asked to inte

People Perfectly in Proportion: The Golden Ratio
Zip File includes - PDF and editable documentLesson Setup: Â This lesson can be used for students at all developmental levels. Â Measuring with a ruler, error analysis, and proportional thinking are a few of the skills this lesson practices. Â Groups can be made based upon skill requirements. Lower functioning students can perform measurements and watch higher performing students do calculations. Â Result could also be presented by a possible third student - if you want to do trios as opposed to pa

Discovering Sine and Cosine Function Graphs
In this activity, students will use a linked Geogebra to explore the graphs of sine and cosine functions. They will manipulate the amplitude, the period, the phase shift, and the vertical shift parameters to determine how changing those parameters in the function affects its graph. They will reflect on how the algebra of the function relates to its geometry. They will then reflect upon what they have done by coming up with an equation for the period of the functions, exploring the sine/cosine
