Model Data with Quadratic Functions
Students model data using quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students simplify and factor quadratic equations. They graph the function using collected data and analyze the parabola.
Curated OER
The Environment and Interactions of Living Organisms
Young scholars study the environment and interactions of living organisms. They identify abiotic and biotic factors and create a foldable and vocabulary cards. They create a poster illustrating soil and watch a video to study symbiosis.
Curated OER
Linear Modeling: Functions
Students analyze linear functions. In this algebra lesson, students create a linear model to relate coordinate pairs. They evaluate and solve equations.
Curated OER
The Box Problem
Students create graphic, algebraic and verbal ideas of functions. In this algebra lesson, students graph functions and identify the zeros of the functions. They find the domain and range and classify functions as relation or not.

What's The Point?
Students solve word problems using the correct math symbols. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calculator to graph their equation and analyze it. They find the line of regression and use to draw conclusion.
Curated OER
Finding Equations
Learners make equations from everyday data. They create a graph from the equations. Students predict and analyze the results. Learners complete the second scenario on their own and turn in their handout.

How can my breakfast help the birds?
Sixth graders design farms with a bird's habitat in mind. In this farm lesson plan, 6th graders research how sun grown coffee destroys a bird habitat, and then they make their own farm with a bird's habitat being preserved. They then...

Lesson Plan for Fontana Mines
Students estimate and compute with rational numbers. They compare, order and convert among fractions, decimals and percents. Students analyze problems to determine if there is sufficient or extraneous data to solve.
Curated OER
Introduction to Science
Seventh graders investigate scientific methods to solve problems. They demonstrate creating data tables and graphs. They study the role of a scientist and the importance of safety in a science lab. They distinguish between an...
