Fourth graders work together to complete an experiment on air pollution. They identify visible and invisible forms of pollution. They gather their data in notebooks and analyze their results to end the lesson.

Fourth graders study the properties of heat in this series of lessons. They discuss sources of heat and experiment to determine its properties. They identify insulators and conductors by measuring temperatures, and graphing their data....

High schoolers review the law of demand. Using the law, they read a demand schedule and demand curve. They draw their own demand curve from data supplied to them. They identify and explain the four determinants of demand and work...

Middle schoolers examine the mathematical concept of proportions in an attempt to apply them in various types of problems. The real application of proportions is often found in word problems which requires a them to also practice a...

Fourth graders participate in a math game that involves practicing their equivalent fraction skills in the advanced multiplication stage seven. They assess their ability skills of equivalent fractions to match twenty seven dominoes on...

Students investigate patterns of inverse functions. In this algebra lesson, students represent functions with the calculator and on paper. They analyze their data and draw conclusions.

Students complete bar graphing activities with a dinosaur theme. Students discuss their favorite dinosaurs, collect data about the discussion, and make a floor graph of the information. Students complete a dinosaur graph worksheet.

Students review the Census Bureau's Homepage, gather information regarding population trends in order to make predictions on future populations.

Learners carry out an experiment to monitor diurnal fluctuations in dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH, and water temperature. They determine the CO2 and pH of the samples (and optionally, dissolved oxygen). Students complete their...

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

Students are given a problem or hypothesis, they can create a relevant experiment using the steps to the scientific method. They collect quantitative and qualitative observations in scientific experiments. Students identify the...

Students answer questions for each of the graphs and record their answers on the Student Observation Sheet. They use the data they have collected, hypothesize which graph represents which month of the year using each graph. They then...

Young scholars record weather observations and research online weather data. In this weather observations lesson, students study the cloud cover for several days and record their observations in a chart. Young scholars identify the cloud...

Students practice making graphs and interpreting them. They compare and contrast different sets of data. They use Microsoft Excel to create different types of graphs.

Students compare data and determine the appropriate way to organize the data. They use physical graphs, pictographs, and symbolic graphs to display their data. In addition, they complete a Venn diagram.

First graders create a class graph that illustrates how they get to school and interpret data from the graph. They complete an assessment worksheet independently and answer questions about the graph shown.

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.

Students assess the ocean's microstructure by analyzing graphs created during tne Ronald H.Brown research cruise. they discuss at what depths various sea animals live and write paragraphs on data analysis from the graphs.

Sixth graders explore probability. They analyze a class chart and list the letters of the alphabet according to frequency. Using the data collected, they complete probability problems.

Fifth graders are introduced to the topic of means. Calculating the mean, mode and median, they describe what each set of numbers tell and do not tell about the data. They use a line graph to practice finding the mean. They also use...

Students participate in a variety of activities to understand statistics. They collect and interpret data. Also students distinguish the difference between a population and a sample. They make inferences and create arguments using data.

Students complete an activity that allows them to better understand that birds traits are closely related to what they eat, where they live, etc.  In this bird trait instructional activity students complete an activity, create a...

Fourth graders create spreadsheets, explore patterns and make predictions based on the information. They select the appropriate graph to display the spreadsheet data. They search and sort prepared data bases to gain knowledge for...

Tenth graders conduct a critical analysis of current evolutionary concepts. They describe how scientists continue to investigate theories. Students examine examples with experimental data that suggest alternative methods of species...
