Young schoolers explore the concept of linear regression. They determine the mass and density of salt water. Pupils add salt to water and record the density as salinity increases, and perform a linear regression on the data to model the...

Challenge your classes to design and market a new product. Collaborative groups use geometry skills to create packaging for their products. Finally, they plan a marketing strategy to present to a marketing specialist.

Students investigate temperature using the TI. In this chemistry instructional activity, students analyze the change in temperature, as chemicals are dissolved in water. They analyze data collected using the CBL 2.

Young analysts examine changes in the nutria population, vegetation density, and marsh area over time in the wetlands of Louisiana. They import data and use the TI-73 Explorer to graph and analyze the effects of nutria on marsh loss.

Students collect temperatures using a probe and examine data.  In this temperature lesson students complete an activity using a graphing calculator. 

Learners explore the health of aquatic life in this science lesson They measure and track the oxygen level in the water to determine the health of the aquatic life. They collect this data using the TI explorer to graph and analyze their...

Learners explore the pH of water in this fourth through ninth grade science lesson. They test water samples to determine the pH, then record observations at the aquatic site and compare their observations with the pH readings.

Young learners compare the breathing patterns of different animals in this pinniped lesson. They examine the breathing pattern of California sea lions and northern elephant seals. Pupils collect, compare and analyze data concerning...

Young learners explore erosion, deposition, weather and climate in this science activity. They discuss the cause of erosion, collect data and analyze it suing the TI Explorer. They can also use the TI CBL or Vernier LabPro for this...

Pupils examine deposits found in a river in this science lesson. They collect data of sediment deposit found in the Mississippi river, then graph and analyze their data using the TI.

Learners experiment to determine ways different types of insulation materials work. In this animal adaptation activity, they make hand coverings from plastic bags, shortening, feathers, and wool. They observe effects of these insulating...

Learners evaluate the relationship between rainfall and runoff of a small island for one year. In this rainfall vs. runoff lesson plan, students analyze the relationship between the rainfall and the runoff on Barro Colorado Island over a...

Young learners explore motion graphs in this lesson. They investigate distance-time plots as they move in a specific way in front of the CBR in an attempt to make a motion plot that matches a given plot. Pupils explore the connections...

Learners study weather using a graphing calculator in this lesson. They collect data for temperature and relative humidity for every hour over a day from the newspaper, then place the data in their handheld calculator and examine it for...

Learners test their local aquatic site to determine its water clarity. They collect a water sample and measure its turbidity using a sensor, then they repeat the experiment to obtain a second turbidity reading to find the average value.

Pupils investigate the pH of rain water in this earth science lesson. They collect rain water from their area and explore the pH when lime stone is added, then they will use the data collected to conjecture as to the effect of acid rain...

Middle schoolers explore distance-time plots. In this algebra lesson, they will investigate how different types of motion affect the distance-time plot.

Learners explore the concept of distance v. time. They use a CBR to collect data on their distance over time, then plot their data using a scatter plot and find an equation to model their data. Pupils discuss what if scenarios which...

Pupils explore the concept of collecting data as they collect data on their graphing calculator about time, temperature, and light. Learners plot the data and create histograms and box and whisker plots to analyze the data.

Pupils explore the concept of distance and time as they use a CBR to mimic distance v. time graphs. Learners walk towards and away from the monitor to create various distance v. time graphs, then discuss what motion creates certain graphs.

Middle schoolers explore the concept of electricity in this lesson plan as they measure the electricity that a lemon gives off. Learners use volt meters to measure the amount of electricity coming from the lemon. Your class will...

Two PDF's that can be viewed online or downloaded and printed. The first is one page showing students several examples of abbreviations that can be used when taking notes. The second is a four pages and shows how different types of...
