See the underwater world through a different pair of eyes! Middle school marine biologists identify deep-sea organisms by examining images taken by an ROV from the Okeanos Explorer. After determining what creatures lie beneath the...

Measurement and map skills are the focus of this lesson, where students crawl through a "cave" made out of boxes, desks and chairs, observing the dimensions.  Your young geographers measure various aspects of the cave and practice...

Learners, after making quantitative and qualitative observations of their rocks, construct a Venn diagram or dichotomous key to classify their rocks.

Students discover how units of measurement help people to categorize objects. In this measurement lesson, students discuss various units of measurement, use creativity to invent new possible units of measure, and learn the history of...

High schoolers keep detailed weather records during the fall migration. If they are also Observing Fall Migrants, they will be able to compare weather conditions on days that they do and do not see monarchs. Having a class record of...

Eighth graders use lab work and software to collect and analyze pressure and temperature data in order to illustrate the relationship between the temperature and pressure of a gas at a constant volume. They conduct a lab and organize...

Young scholars examine data collected from a national survey of household environmental practices to develop their own questionaires. Once they have their own survey questions, students conduct their own investigations, and report their...

Fifth graders use pennies to gather data, organize and order data, graph the data on a stem-and-leaf plot, and evaluate the range, median, and mode of the data.

First graders use organized data to construct real object graphs, picture graphs, and bar-type graphs.

High schoolers keep a detailed record of weather patterns during the spring migration of the monarch butterfly. The use of weather reports is used to form a class data sheet. This lesson connects to the skills of graphing and critical...

Students investigate carpooling and determine to what extent it occurs in their community for a carpool challenge. In groups, students create a survey then collect, calculate and record data to determine how much pollution could be...

Young scholars investigate the life of Thomas Edison. They research how he made a difference. They understand that accurate data collection is important for math. They create a chart using spreadsheet data.

Second graders examine different areas to determine how they can be improved. They observe and collect data concerning different problems and use a map to record their information. After analyzing the data, they develop possible...

Learners collect larvae and observe them. The data tables are filled out and comparisons are made daily. The lesson progresses with more observations until larvae become adults.

Ninth graders assess the accuracy and reliability of current survey data and how it is represented. They design a survey, collect data, and use technology to analyze the data and present the results. Students examine scatter plots and...

Students research and chart events associated with World War II from 1935-1945 using a data retrieval chart in order to list in chronological order important dates and events with accuracy. Each student create a Historical Pop-Up Page.

Sixth graders explore the concept of averaging of numbers and the function of a spreadsheet. Data is collected, analyzed, and displayed in this lesson. The NASCAR race results provides the basis for the collection of data.

Young scholars use the tools of data analysis for managing information. They solve problems by generating, collecting, organizing, displaying histograms on bar graphs, circle graphs, line graphs, pictographs and charts. Students...

Fifth graders use the Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers to compare temperature readings. They use the Internet to find the temperatures of selected cities. After data is collected for five days, 5th graders graph the temperatures.

Students use the concepts of PING to examine Internet delay. They discuss why PING is used in the Computer Science industry. They practice interpreting data as well.

Students collect, organize, and analyze data while studying the Pythagorean Theorem, measure length and width of several rectangular objects, and compare the measured results to the calculated results.

Students complete an investigative activity that requires them to use precise observational skills. They observe a partner's ear recording pertinent data so that they can make a positive identification. They identify the teacher chosen...

Seventh graders investigate the concept of probability. They use the game of hangman to create engagement and context for conducting the lesson. They create a spreadsheet with data that is given. Students make predictions based on data.

Fourth graders identify cemeteries as a source of information for historical research. They consider the types of information cemeteries can provide, review local headstones and create a database of the collected knowledge.
