Curated OER
Solar Flare Reconstruction
For this solar flare reconstruction worksheet, students read about the 'saturation' point of satellite detectors when solar flares are at their most intense phase of brightness. Students are given x-ray flare data and they re-plot the...

Moving Magnetic Filaments Near Sunspots
In this sunspots worksheet, students observe two images taken by a solar observatory over a certain amount of time. Students determine the changes in the pictures and then calculate how fast and in what direction the particles are...
Inside Mathematics
How Old Are They?
Here is a (great) lesson on using parentheses! The task requires the expression of ages using algebraic expressions, including the distributive property. Pupils use their expressions to determine the individual ages.

Fitting Periodic Functions-Distant Planets
In this periodic functions instructional activity, students use given data of the speed of a star and find the best fit periodic function that follows the trend in data. They determine the amplitude, offset phase and the formula for the...

The Babylonian Algorithm, Limits and Rates of Change
In this successive approximations worksheet, students use the Babylonian algorithm to determine the roots of given numbers. They identify the limits of a function, and compute the rate of change in a linear function. This two-page...
