Bubble Lab - A Scientific Investigation
This SUPER fun activity allows students to practice their science investigation skills. Students work with a partner to investigate the properties of different bubble solutions. Students discuss manipulative and responding variables, generate a hypothesis, graph and analyze data, and then form conclusions based on their results. My kids always got a kick out this one...make sure to wear your safety goggles!

CER: Height vs. Stride Length
This is an easy and fun activity for students to practice their scientific skills in collecting and analyzing data, argumentation and writing a CER (Claim, Evidence and Reasoning). Very few materials are needed for this activity and it gets students moving and collaborating. This can be a great beginning of the year activity to review CER and get the students working together in small laboratory groups.

Acceleration lab - NGSS
In this lab students will calculate the speed of three different types of motion; walking, running, and skipping across a 20 meter surface using the speed triangle. They will then use those three speeds to calculate the acceleration for each type of motion and create a multi line speed graph.

HALF-LIFE SIMULTION
Most people think of half-life in terms of radioaictve decay. However, it can also refer to drug interactions, pesticides in plants and a plasma half-‐life which is a stability factor. In each case the mathematical equations are similar and produce the typical half-life curve. Using M&Ms to create a simulation of the half-‐life process students create a graph with an exponential curve.

Piecewise Function Fun
This one-day lesson is good for early exploration of the piecewise function and how to obtain the graph of a piecewise function. Concepts such as domain and range and function notation are strengthened or assessed depending upon the learner. It is an activity which leads the learner step-by-step with group work possible and concludes with a whole-class discussion summary.

Plant Potato Eyes
In this lab we will investigate potato growth: do they regulate their sprout growth? Can every potato eye sprout, or is there a limit to the number of sprouts that can grow from one seed potato? Does the growth of one sprout inhibit (stop) the growth of another?

Lab - Sunspots
In this lab, students graph yearly sunspot data and make predictions about the future of the sunspot cycle.Additionally, there is currently an interactive here (https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/labs/lab/sun/research) where students can count sunspots and compare their numbers to the actual data.If you like this, PLEASE rate it (favorably?) and consider purchasing some of my other work.

Quadratic Grapher
Quadratic Grapher MS Excel Spreadsheet graphs up to 2 quadratic equations / functions at a time. It is color coded so it is easy to see which parabola corresponds to which equation.
It also displays 10 points. The x values can be changed to your liking.
It also finds the points of intersection between the two parabolas. This is useful for solving a system of two quadratic equations. It could probably even solve a system of two equations that has one quadratic and linear equation. Just inp

Guided Exploration: Polynomial Functions
42-item teacher-lead inquiry into properties and behavior of Polynomial Functions. Best used at the beginning of a unit on polynomial functions (before demonstrating how to solve textbook problems), this activity invites students to use inductive reasoning and class discussion to discover the big ideas behind graphing polynomial functions without a graphing utility.

Tootsie Pop Lab Experiment
Watch an old Tootsie Pop commercial and discover how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. (Tootsie Pops not included). Students will be able to use the scientific method to observe, create a hypothesis, find variables, collect data, and come to a conclusion. Then, collect data from the class! In the packet, students can record peer's results to be able to create a bar graph with their findings.

Exponential and Logistic Modeling Internet Project
Using the provided URL, the applet provides a population growth simulation for two scenarios: exponential and logistic. This worksheet presents an orderly way to explore both, taking into account pros and cons for each. May be used for solely exponential modeling, though the logistic modeling helps students judge between different types of mathematical modeling. Worksheet includes a total of 6 "Experiments" to run with the simulation. Can be done in a computer lab in one hour. May be used e

Linear Grapher
Linear Grapher Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet that allows you to graph up to 3 lines at a time. The lines are color coded with the equations, so you will know which line corresponds to which equation.
It also displays 10 points for each equation. The x values for these points can be adjusted.
It also finds the points of intersection for every pair of lines. This is helpful for system of equations.
It also has a seperate application built into the spreadsheet for finding the equation of a line

LAB: Linear Transformations
Students explore how a linear function changes (both graphically and algebraically) through observation. I highly recommend working through the first example as a class - or a similar example. But the best discussions happen when students work in groups and collaborate their hypotheses and conclusions.Feel free to make edits to adapt it to your needs! And as always, I would appreciate any feedback or ways to improve the lesson. Thank you!
