Graphing Data - Temperature
Seventh graders measure and record temperature over a given time period. They compare the recorded temperatures to the 40-year recorded normal average temperatures for the same area. Students display and interpret their findings in a graph.

Pendulums
First-time physicists experiment with pendulums in this physics lesson. They vary the weight of the bob, record how long each takes to complete ten period swings, and then calculate the time for one period. They repeat the procedure,...
Curated OER
Linear Progression
Students use graphing calculators to graph lines and create tables of values. They perform an experiment using M&M's and slinkys, then create their tables based on their results.

Functions and Inverses
Students solve problems identifying the functions and inverses. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify a one-to-one function, and perform the horizontal line test. They analyze data and graph their results on a graph.
Curated OER
Power Function Inverses
Pupils graph polynomial functions and analyze the graphs. They identify the inverse of the functions and find the domain and range. Learners will then label the functions as one to one and use the horizontal and vertical line test to...
