Pilot Algebra II
In this course, students will build understanding of the following modules: Exploring Patterns in Linear and Quadratic Relationships, Analyzing Structure, Developing Structural Similarities, Extending Beyond Polynomials, and Inverting Functions.
Each module is broken up into topics where you will find teacher materials to guide the instruction and the student materials both used in the classroom for learning together and learning individually.
The agency developed these learning resources as a contingency option for school districts during COVID. All resources are optional. Prior to publication, materials go through a rigorous third-party review. Review criteria include TEKS alignment, support for all learners, progress monitoring, implementation supports, and more. Products also are subject to a focus group of Texas educators.
2.05 Vectors and Trigonometry
In this video, we present an overview of vectors and trigonometric functions, which are helpful in solving physics problems.
1.01 The Nature of Science
In this video, we discuss the underlying philosophy of science.
1.02 Scientific Ethics
In this video, we discuss the ethics and morality required in the responsible practice of science.
1.03 Impact of Science
In this video, we discuss how science affects our lives.
2.02 Measurement and Error
In this video, we review the proper ways to measure quantities and how to account for errors due to measurement.
2.04 Techniques for Graphing and Reporting Data
In this video, we discuss techniques for graphing and reporting data.
2.03 The International System of Units
In this video, we discuss the use of and importance of the International System of Units (SI).
2.01 Laboratory Safety
In this video, we review lab safety procedures.
5.02 Kinetic and Gravitational Potential Energy
In this video, we define kinetic and gravitational potential energy.
4.01 Newton's First Law
In this video, we explore the law of inertia, which states that when no net force acts on an object, that object travels with a constant velocity.
4.05 Conservation of Momentum
In this video, we introduce the conservation law related to momentum, following from Newton's third law.
4.03 Newton's Third Law
In this video, we explore the fact that forces come in linked pairs.
4.02 Newton's Second Law
In this video, we explore the relationship between force and acceleration.
5.03 Conservation of Energy
In this video, we introduce the law of conservation of energy.
4.04 Momentum and Impulse
In this video, we introduce the concepts of momentum and impulse.
5.01 Work
In this video, we define work, which relates force to energy.
6.04 The Doppler Effect and Interference
In this video, we explore the Doppler effect, which modulates the perceived frequency of waves depending on the relative motion between source and observer.
5.07 Centripetal Motion and Satellites
In this video, we explore circular motion at a constant speed, and we apply the law of gravitation in order to understand the motion of satellites.
6.02 Properties of Waves
In this video, we define the fundamental quantities associated with waves, including frequency, period, amplitude, and speed.
