Tenth graders identify the different ideas, emotions that different colors represent the significance of color in real life. They examine the significance of the lack of color in The Giver and the movie Pleasantville. They develop...

Students work in pairs to measure their arm span and height and record them on a class chart. The class works together to create a scattergram to display the data. Class discussion focuses on interpreting the scattergram.

For this periodic functions worksheet, students use given data of the speed of a star and find the best fit periodic function that follows the trend in data. They determine the amplitude, offset phase and the formula for the angle. They...

A unique approach to reviewing number lines and how to locate different values on them, this worksheet poses several questions that require written answers rather than calculations. You could use this as a note-taking guide when teaching...

Students explore physics using interactive resources. In this physics lesson series, students solve problems involving vectors, forces and kinematics. They draw vectors and its components.

Students explore earthquakes. For this earthquake lesson, students research earthquakes and identify where they take place. Students use map skills to track down earthquake locations. There are internet sites suggested in this lesson.

In this image processing worksheet, students use a matrix to solve ten problems. For the first six problems, students are guided to the answer by carefully sequenced questions. The final four problems require students to make a series of...

Eighth graders predict human population growth.  In this lesson plan, 8th graders discuss the length of time needed to double the human population, work in groups to chart population growth and predict population growth in the...

Young scholars access the Global Sun Temperature Project website and research the relationship between the location and climate of a participating school to its building structure. They consider how climate affects the type of structures...

Students role play the role of immigrants coming to America for the first time. They complete an imaginary trip with their family and must rent a car and make seven stops along the way. They calculate distances and use maps to...

Middle schoolers graph data of sports figure running time using x-axis y-axis to find slope of trend line, mathematically find the interpolated and extrapolated values for data points. Using the information they make predictions.

Eighth graders study about precipitation and graph the information. They look for patterns in a scatter graph and make inferences based on what they see. They need to see a relationship between location and the amount of precipitation.

Dot plots and frequency tables are tools for displaying data in a more organized fashion. In this article, we review how to make dot plots and frequency tables.

Features a refresher course on dot plots with definitions and examples.

Students learn how to construct and interpret line plots. The lesson plan describes an activity that has students collect data, create line plots, and interpret and analyze the data.
