- El Nino or El No-no
Student interactive site where the students collect data (Water temperatures from ocean buoys.) and present it using different statistical methods.

This NCTM (Illuminations) activity is geared for students in grades 9-12. This unit contains four different teacher lesson plans with reproducible student worksheets, and interactive graphing and data collection capabilities. The lessons provided explore cardiac output by measuring the amount of blood being pumped by an experimental heart. Students will explore rates of change and accumulation in the context of cardiac output and accumulation using hands on experimentation, data collection, "pencil and paper" activities, etc.
- Running to Conclusions and Exponential Fit
This lesson use spreadsheets to explores the process of finding the best fitting exponential curve to sets of statistical data. Note: Must scroll past "Running to Conclusions" to get to "Exponential Fit. - Shedding Light on the Subject: Function Models of Light DecayPresented by NCTM (Illuminations), this website provides the teacher with a four lesson unit on the decay of light as an exponential model. Teachers will appreciate the printer friendly lesson plans accompanied by student objectives, worksheets, and references. The site includes an interactive grapher and downloadable movie clips (quick time required) for students.
