This site provides a detailed overview of "Everyman," and includes the full text of the work, related essays and articles, and additional resources.

Zoologist Dan-Erik Nilsson demonstrates how the complex human eye could have evolved from simple light-sensitive cells. From a PBS show called "Evolution: Darwin's Dangerous Idea." Includes background reading material and discussion questions. [4:08]

Students conduct an experiment to study the acceleration of a mobile Android device. During the experiment, they run an application created with MIT's App Inventor that monitors linear acceleration in one-dimension. Students use an acceleration vs. time equation to construct an approximate velocity vs. time graph. Students will understand the relationship between the object's mass and acceleration and how that relates to the force applied to the object, which is Newton's second law of motion.

Sal finds the zeros, the vertex, & the line of symmetry of quadratic functions given in vertex form, factored form, & standard form. [8:22]

Khan Academy learning modules include a Community space where users can ask questions and seek help from community members. Educators should consult with their Technology administrators to determine the use of Khan Academy learning modules in their classroom. Please review materials from external sites before sharing with students.

This video segment from NatureScene features the area of the Congaree Swamp where the high ground and the flood plain meet. Learn how a few feet of difference in elevation on a floodplain can yield drastic changes in what you'll find living. [2:35]

Different forms of quadratic functions reveal different features of those functions. Here, Sal rewrites an expression in factored form to reveal its zeros and in vertex form to reveal its vertex. [8:29]

Control the inputs and operations of a function machine to produce specific outputs. This interactive exercise focuses on exploring operations, making patterns, and the rules for calculations with positive and negative integers.

Students learn how to represent, interpret, and analyze functions in various forms, leading to understanding features such as rates of change, initial values, and intervals of increase and decrease.

Students are introduced to the main features of functions that they will learn throughout the year, providing students with a conceptual understanding of how functions are used to model various situations.

Use Google Sheets to create a budget for a celebration and perform calculations. Time to complete: 45-90 minutes

Students learn how to graph exponential functions. The lesson compares exponential functions graphs to linear function graphs and includes a practice problem. [10:27]

This article highlights hands-on or multimedia lesson plans about plant structures, growth and development, seed production, and dispersal. Science lessons are paired with suggested literacy lesson plans. All lessons are aligned to national standards.

In this lesson on the brain's neural networks, students investigate the structure and function of the neuron. They discover ways in which engineers apply this knowledge to the development of devices that can activate neurons. After a review of the nervous system specifically its organs, tissue, and specialized cells, called neurons students learn about the parts of the neuron. They explore the cell body, dendrites, axon and axon terminal, and learn how these structures enable neurons to send messages. They learn about the connections between engineering and other fields of study, and the importance of research, as they complete the lesson tasks.

A mathematics tutorial that allows you to interactively learn and manipulate the slope and intercepts of a line.

Students examine the graphs of the position, velocity, and acceleration functions of a particle. The example is available in PDF format.

A narrated animation of the process of ovulation. This video shows a simulation of the path an egg takes from the fallopian tubes to the uterus. [1:28]

Sketches of functions are drawn by determing important points: x- and y-intercepts, local maxima and minima, and point of inflection. The general shapes of specific functions are illustrated to help identify characteristics of each type of function.

A brief overview of three methods used to graph lines is presented through examples. Slope-intercept, point-slope, and intercept form are demonstrated step-by-step along with a review of the formula for finding the slope of a line.

The derivative is applied to real world applications of velocity in an example using "h" notation and limits.

Make inferences and recommendations using data, train a computer, and consider ethical implications of machine learning. Time to complete: 3-5 hours
