For this problem, students use an exponential equation to investigate the cooling of a cup of coffee and how long it would take for it to cool down to different temperatures. Aligns with F-LE.B.5 and F-LE.A.4.

In this task, students learn about exponential decay by examining the amount of Carbon-14 left in a preserved plant with the passage of time after the plant has died. This provides a simple introduction to Carbon-14 dating but the actual...

In this task, students learn about exponential functions when they investigate the exponential growth of an invasive fish population. Aligns with F-LE.B.5 and F-LE.A.1.c.
