Build a Soundproof Box | Characteristics of Waves | Sound Waves Lab + Project
Give students real ownership of the scientific process with this Inquiry Learning Experiment Design Project Prompt. Instead of following a step-by-step lab, students design their own experiment using classroom materials you already have. With structured thinking prompts (but plenty of creative freedom), students plan an investigation that demonstrates the skills they’ve been learning, then write and reflect on what happened, even if their results are messy or their experiment “fails.” This re

Applications of Calculus With Higher Order Derivatives
In this worksheet, students will find multiple derivatives of a function and then use these derivatives to find displacement, velocity and acceleration. These physics applications are some of the easiest ways for students to see where derivatives are used in real life situations and to connect calculus to things they are learning in their classes. Only the power rule is needed for these problems, so this worksheet can be used before the other derivative rules have been learned. An answer she
