Students collect and graph data. In this algebra instructional activity, 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...

Students analyze data from a class read-a-thon. They graph equations using x- and y-intercepts and solve one and two-step linear equations.

Students discover the potential dangers of weather in their hometown.  In this environmental lesson, students research Hurricane Hugo and the devastation it caused South Carolina in 1989.  Students record weather data from...

Students collect data and present it in a graph and/or a spreadsheet, depending on their previous understanding of technology.

In this line plot learning exercise, students create a line plot of given data. They identify the range, clusters, gaps, and outliers. This one-page learning exercise contains 8 multi-step problems.

In this pumpkin instructional activity, students study a chart of the largest pumpkins grown. Students use the given data to answer 7 short answer questions.

In this making predictions worksheet, students use the understand, plan, solve, and look back method to help them solve the questions about probability. Students use the data within the problem to predict and solve.

Students collect data of balloons of different sizes to see which one travels the furthest when shot into the air to represent a rocket. In this rocket lesson plan, students write about which balloon traveled the furthest and why.

Students develop an understanding of related weather processes such as wind, cloud cover, and temperature using STEDII data and instrumentation. In addition, they integrate mathematical calculations to produce a forecast map.

Young scholars examine how to locate and access data sets.  In this climate change lesson students import data into Excel and graph it.   

Students examine sea surface temperatures to see how hurricanes get heat from the oceans surface.  In this hurricanes lesson students use the Internet to find data and make line plots. 

Students study cloud data and weather maps to explore cloud activity.  For this cloud data lesson students locate latitude and longitude coordinates and determine cloud cover percentages. 

Students compare current weather data to historic data to see if there is a temperature change.  In this weather lesson students complete a lab activity and determine average changes in temperature, precipitation and cloud cover.

Students examine the differences between air temperature and ground temperature.  In this investigative instructional activity students find NASA data on the Internet and use it to create a graph. 

Young scholars explore the seasonal changes in Costa Rica.  In this dry season instructional activity students use the Internet to locate science data then generate data for precipitation.
