Moving Cities
This activity helps student determine the rate at which continental drift is causing cities to move toward or away from each other. Using current and past longitude and latitude data, students calculate the rate of increase or decrease in distance between large global cities. This data can then be used to predict the future movement of the cities based on historic trends.

Calculus - How Can One Graph Help Describe Another Graph?
This activity incorporates the graphing calculator to help students understand how the behavior of one graph can describe the behavior of another function. Three related equations are entered in y1, y2, and y3 in the graphing calculator. • The original function is entered in y1. • An expression that represents the derivative of y1 is entered in y2. • An expression that represents the derivative of y2 is entered in y3. After graphing y1, y2, and y3 in the same window, a series of questi

Calculus-Making Observations about the Function and Its Derivatives from Graphs
This discovery activity is made up of 5 part plus a closing question. Part I: Students graph a function and its derivative. From the two graphs students observe that when the graph of the derivative of y1 is positive the graph of y1 is increasing and that when the graph of the derivative of y1 is negative the graph of decreasing. Part II: In part I students studied a function with a minimum. In this part students will repeat the same observations but with a function that has a maximum. Part II

Are You Faster Than a 7th Grader? Percent of Change Activity
Looking for an activity for students to practice PERCENT OF CHANGE in a real world context? In this activity, students will time themselves writing the alphabet with their dominant hand, then their non-dominant hand (wait until you hear the laughter that comes when they write with their opposite hand! ). Then, they will calculate the PERCENT INCREASE or DECREASE between the two times. Most predict that they will write slower with their non-dominant hand, but you'll be surprised by the result

Pre-Calculus - Maximizing the Volume of a Cone
This hands-on activity engages the students in constructing a cone from a circle,collecting data on the height and radius of the cone, creating a scatterplot, fitting a curve to the data and then estimating the maximum volume of the cone. Many students are surprised that the scatterplot indicates that the volume first slowly increases and then after a maximum volume occurs the volume quickly decreases. By working with a physical model helps students observe how the height, radius, and volume

Psychology Lab Weber's Law and Hearing: How Much Louder to Notice a Difference?
Students apply Weber's Law (ΔI = k × I, where k = 0.1 for hearing) to calculate the just noticeable difference (JND) in loudness for ten stimulus intensities ranging from 20 to 110 dB. After completing the data table, students plot intensity on the x-axis and JND on the y-axis, identify the linear relationship, and explain in everyday language how the JND grows proportionally with intensity. A real-world application problem asks students to calculate the minimum loudness increase a concert-goer
