PHET Vector Lab (Online Simulator)
I created this lab as an intro into two dimensional motion for my physics classes. The lab uses all the techniques of adding vectors head-to-tail and demonstrates for them that the two vectors being added to make a resultant are the components of that resultant. This lab is great practice and very self-explanatory for grades 11 and 12. I created this lab so that it was an electronic lab so that they could open the lab on their computers, fill out the lab in MS Word, and submit it back to me onli

Water Bottle Rocket Physics Lab
This is a lab dealing with the physics of launching water bottle rockets. This lab assumes you have launched a water bottle rocket have have collected the following data. The durations can be found using frame analysis of a video that records the water bottle rocket. Mass of Full Rocket (kg)Mass of Empty Rocket (kg)Duration of powered ascent (s)Duration of unpowered ascent to max height (s)Duration of descent from max height back to ground (s)The lab handout leads the students through examining

Limits at Infinity of Rational Functions Discovery Worksheet
This discovery worksheet provides a nice little introduction to limits at infinity of rational functions. The students get to be a mathematician; they will find patters and develop a conjecture. This way, the students discover the trick to finding these particular limits, instead of simply given a rule. Works well with small groups.

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.
