Concept Comparison: Graphs in Science (Categorical vs Numerical)
How do scientists use graphs? This concept comparison helps students contrast bar graphs, pie charts and line graphs created from categorical and numerical data. The recall device uses DRY MIX and TRAILS as acronyms to help Ss remember how variables are plotted on a graph, and standard format for a graph. The frame comparison helps students contrast rate of change, slope shape and written relationships of functions (y vs. x; y vs. x^2; y vs. 1/x, and so on). THREE (3) activities are included:ha

Kinematics - Constant Speed Lab
This is a 2 page low-tech lab for an academic level introductory physics or physical science that focuses on the relationship between distance covered and time traveled for an object moving at (nearly) constant velocity. It includes data table, graphing, and analysis questions. Ideally, it should be used after the students have worked through my other worksheets on graphing as some of the analysis questions depend on their understanding of slope = velocity for a distance vs time graph.Update '

Stacking Cups - apply linear functions without even knowing it!
The question is simple: how many cups does it take to make a stack as tall as your teacher? By striving to answer this question, students develop an intuition for rate of change, initial value, and solving linear functions.Get to know Stacking Cups⭐ Student-driven discovery⭐ Perfect for groups⭐ Highly accessible⭐ Online-learning friendly⭐ Layered complexity for just the right challenge Love Stacking Cups?

Whatever floats your boat - demonstrate how math helps us in real-life tasks
This activity can be used to teach practical applications of everything from early algebra through Calculus. Students will be tasked with building a boat out of aluminum foil to see how many pennies can be held. The mathematics behind the buoyancy of the boat is then discussed and the activity repeated to see quantifiably how much an understanding of mathematics helps us accomplish tasks in the real world.
