Students sort and graph various types of pasta. Using pasta construction paper patterns or real pasta, they sort the pasta by color, size, and type, and record the data on a graph.

Learners create constant speed versus motion graphs. They will perform linear regressions on their data to describe the graphs mathematically.

Learners write an equation for a linear function. For this algebra lesson, students collect data, plot it and graph it. They identify the equation of the graphed data and define the slope and y-intercept of the graph.

Fifth graders use technology to research and collect data. They develop awareness and appreciation of authors and genres. They organize information for presentation.

Students document weather patterns associated with the region where they live. They collect weather data about severe thunderstorms, hurricanes, and tornadoes, and create safety preparation charts for each.

Ninth graders investigate each nation chosen by your team. Each of you be responsible for one area of expertise and gather data in your area for each country you explore. Your role rotate as you travel to each country.
