Coulomb's Law Inquiry Lab with Magnets
Coulomb's law requires expensive and delicate equipment. This chape and easy version is a clever and innovative inquiry lab that is appropriate for on-level, pre-AP, honors, and AP physics.
Students work in groups of 4 to determine the effect of distance on the repulsive force between two similar magnets. Disk magnets are best, neodymium disk magnets even better, but any small magnets will work.
Student express surprise at feeling the force of repulsion between the magnets. This is measured

Inverse Function Investigation with Desmos.com
In this online investigation, students use Desmos.com as a substitute for the traditional graphing calculator to investigate properties of inverse functions. This is a great introductory activity into inverse functions as it gives students a visual understanding of what a function and its inverse can look like. In the activity, students are instructed to create a table of values for a function, create the table of values for the inverse function, and graph the line y=x. In so doing, students

Introduction to Visualizing & Graphing Sine & Cosine Using Pretzels Exploration
Help students make connections while introducing the graphs of sine and cosine using mini pretzel sticks or equivalent manipulatives. Within this lesson, students will be able to interact with both the sine and cosine graphs using manipulatives such as string and pretzel sticks as they form a tactile graph in groups or individually. A thorough instruction sheet is provided to ensure all students are equipped to create their own pretzel graph. You can also substitute spaghetti, straws toothpicks

Matching Activity - Solving Quadratics
Three things come to mind as to why I wrote this activity...
First, students are petrified of word problems. I wrote this activity to give students experience with solving applications of the quadratic. Second, I want students to demonstrate their ability to use four different methods to solve quadratics. Third, I want students to be cognizant that they will need to decide which method is best given the structure of the quadratic equation.
There are 24 cards: 4 story cards, 4 equation car

Quadratic Functions - Introduction to graphing with Technology
I introduce my students to graphing quadratic functions using technology with this self made worksheet. My students like spending time in the computer lab, it gives them independence to try something new and they enjoy seeing the graphs be formed on the screen as soon as they type in an equation and they love getting out of the classroom! It is a lot more fun then graphing with paper and pencil.
I consider this work as a project because it is work done outside a classroom. It requires a com

Trigonometric Functions on the Graphing Calculator - An Exploration
This activity sheet engages students in studying the general trigonometric equation y = a + b cos(cx) and making statements about the period, amplitude, y-intercept, and x-intercepts. After developing ideas with the cosine function, students make conjectures about similar sine graphs and then make a prediction of how a cosine graph would be changed to produce a particular graph.

Graphing Sine & Cosine Investigation
Students learn so much when they discover the patterns in mathematics. This Geogebra investigation asks students to play with the values of a, b, c, and d in f(x) = a sin(bx – c) + d and g(x) = a cos(bx – c) + d individually to see the effects they have on the graphs of both sine and cosine.Students should have plotted the parent functions by creating a table of values prior to this investigation.
