In this math/nutrition lesson, the nutritional value of 3 snack foods is recorded on a data chart and represented on a bar graph. Students analyze and compare information, construct data charts and related bar graphs, and draw...

Students discuss their favorite foods, a list of four favorite food are compiled on the board or a chart. They each vote for their favorite food and the data is entered onto a spread sheet and a graph is created while the students watch...

High schoolers are given some components of an experiment, where they are able to identify and fill in missing parts, such as hypothesis, conclusion, results, etc. They form a hypothesis given general scientific facts. Students apply the...

Though the discrete content here is a pair of New York Times articles about a 1998 military strike on Iraq and the coincident impeachment by the House of Representatives of then-President Clinton, this detailed plan for creating,...

Students collect and graph data. In this algebra lesson, students describe, interpret and analyze data. They follow a 400 meters race and plot the coordinates of the course. They graph a line to represent the data of the course.

Sixth graders analyze the data from a scientific experiment. In this statistics lesson, 6th graders answer questions about some data to show their understanding of the data. They apply the result to future decisions when using data.

Introduce the inverse matrix method to solve systems of linear equations both algebraically and graphically. Using given data, your class checks their answers with graphing calculators. Handouts are included in this well-thought out lesson.

An interesting instructional activity on hypothesizing about the diameter of a drop of blood that is splattered. To test their theories, learners work in groups to make blood droplets splatter from different heights. They use graphed...

Nothing says classroom fun like an invertebrate and a magnifying glass! Snails, earthworms, and roly-poly bugs become the center of attention as pint-sized investigators hone their inquiry and observation skills. They are...

Students investigate graphing a line. In this algebra instructional activity, students collect data on the path of a skateboarder. They collect how fast the board is traveling along a straight line and graph their results.

Students work together to complete an experiment calculating the amount of board footage in a tree. They record their data and answer questions at the end of the lesson. They create their own hypothesis as well.

Students use the language associated with probability to discuss events including those with equally likely outcome. They collect data from a simple experiment and record in a frequency table: estimate probabilities based on this data

Fifth graders can survey the students just in their classroom, the grade level, or other grade levels. Upon finishing the surveys and compiling the data, the students can input their results in an Excel template or create their own...

Young scholars explore measurement by measuring classmates' heads. They record their measurements and they put the measurements in order from smallest to largest. Students figure the mean, median, mode, maximum, minimum, and range of...

Third graders practice using a database to find information related to dinosaurs. Using the data, they make informational cards to use while developing a timeline that shows when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. They answer comprehension...

Students are given three choices of food. They then decide on their favorite and predict what the class's favorite food will be. After the teacher enters the data into the computer, students gather around the computer to view the...

Ninth graders view the film "Pay It Forward" and discuss what kind of public campaign is needed to move people to positive action. They consider different ways of presenting information (graphs, visual displays, etc.) as tools for...

Eighth graders use data from surveys conducted with parents, peers and themselves to create computer-generated scatterplots. They make inferences from their scatterplots.

Young scholars use 2 sets of colored beans to represent the genes of an organism. In this genetic probability lesson plan, students use the colored beans to represent the genotypes of offspring which they pull out of a box at random...

Students discuss the meaning and purposes of polls and surveys. After reading an article, they analyze the results of a poll given to residents of New York City. They create a survey of their own and analyze the data to write a written...

Students learn how to count animal populations by the Mark and Recapture method. In this counting animal populations lesson plan, students begin by predicting amounts of different candies in a jar. Students then simulate using beans, two...

Students use a thermometer to record temperatures from their homes throughout the city, and then hypothesize reasons for the temperature variations. They use a weather graph worksheet that's imbedded in this lesson to orgainize their data.

Young scholars test the adhesive strength of different tapes. In this adhesive lesson plan, students conduct an experiment to test the shear strength of the adhesives, take measurements, record data, and draw conclusions to explain each...

Students investigate the concept of heart rate and how it is effected by environmental stresses like exercise. They conduct research readings and evaluate the data to form a hypothesis to initiate class discussion about the information.
