Students will learn how to graph linear equations using slope-intercept form. To do this, they will graph a line with their bodies using a giant coordinate plane created on the classroom floor. Students will also practice graphing similar equations to improve on the skill.
Explore the world of lines. Investigate the relationships between linear equations, slope, and graphs of lines. Challenge yourself in the line game!
This applet is an ocean acidification grapher that allows user to plot changes in atmospheric C02 against ocean pH, from 1988 to 2009, in the central North Pacific.
The graph of y = f '(x) will be given. Your goal is to sketch the graph of the derivative: y = f (x). Use your mouse moving from left to right, staying on the graphing board, to draw the curve. When you are ready to sketch the graph move you mouse to the far left and click and drag. Be sure to move your mouse slowly. Moving too quickly will result in the deduction of points.
Visualize the gravitational force that two objects exert on each other. Change properties of the objects in order to see how it changes the gravity force.

Move the sun, earth, moon and space station to see how it affects their gravitational forces and orbital paths. Visualize the sizes and distances between different heavenly bodies, and turn off gravity to see what would happen without it!

This podcast features the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt and potential impact of an increase in fresh water (from melting sea ice the Arctic) entering the North Atlantic. It includes interviews with two scientists and discusses the impact of changes in the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt on the climate in Northern Europe over the course of a century.
How do greenhouse gases affect the climate? Explore the atmosphere during the ice age and today. What happens when you add clouds? Change the greenhouse gas concentration and see how the temperature changes. Then compare to the effect of glass panes. Zoom in and see how light interacts with molecules. Do all atmospheric gases contribute to the greenhouse effect?
This straightforward calculator provides conversions from one unit of energy to the equivalent amount of CO2 emission expected from using that amount.
Students become “raccoons†to look for one or more components of habitat during this physically involving activity. Students will: 1) define a major component of habitat; 2) identify a limiting factor and 3) recognize the importance for suitable habitat.

This towing lab students use a active learning activity to develop planning, problem solving and conceptual skills to clarify understanding of applied and net force. The assessment is the correct composition of a vector diagram.
Students learn the basic relationship of Snell's Law, practice applying it to a situation, then are given another situation where it "doesn't work."??? This situation turns out to be one in which total internal reflection occurs. Students are then shown what happens with classroom apparatus.
This activity is a hands-on modeling of the effects of pollution on our ground and surface water. Students will observe and record their observations as pollution is placed on the ground in their model and it is rained upon.
A 12-minute video shows a 9th grade classroom where students are discussing similar triangles with their teacher and how they can be used to estimate measures in real life. They go outside to test their ideas by estimating the measure of a flagpole using meter sticks, a mirror, paper, and a pencil. There is worksheet included for your students to use to do the same.
This short investigation from Carbo Europe explores how temperature affects the solubility of carbon dioxide in water.
This video gives a synopsis of how to write a strong thesis statement in 4 steps.
The video explains how to play Human Alphabet. The activity is intended for early elementary students. Human Alphabet has students moving throughout general space utilizing different locomotor movements as well as having students work with a partner/small group to use their bodies to create different letters/words. This activity combines movement skills and literacy.
