Learners discuss forest management dilemmas and make uninformed decisions as to whether they are appropriate management techniques. They draw bar graphs of the class opinion for each dilemma. They use media sources to become more...

Students explore selective breeding and genetic engineering. They illustrate that produce items have a wide variety of traits that can potentially be combined to produce a new food by creating a class graph.

Learners analyze data from the Alaska State Fair's "Giant Cabbage Weigh-Off." Once they have sorted the weights, they calculate the range, mean, mode, and median of the cabbages. Finally, students create posters displaying their...

Students explore using crickets' chirps to calculate temperature. They read "Cricket in Times Square" and "The Quiet Cricket," read and discuss a Cricket eBook, develop a formula and calculate temperature using cricket chirps, and graph...

Pupils investigate the relationship between volume and mass in different liquids such as vegetable oil, rubbing alcohol and water. They measure the mass of several different volumes of each liquid and then graph the results as well as...

Fifth graders examine and evaluate how active their own lifestyle is by counting how many steps they take on a daily basis. They watch a PowerPoint presentation about healthy lifestyles, record how many steps they take in a day with the...

Ninth graders discover how statistics are used to interpret results of scientific experiments. Students write hypotheses and test the hypotheses by collecting data and organizing the data. Students graph their data to produce a visual....

Fifth graders explore real-life situations of area and perimeter. They develop a list of real-life applications of area and perimeter, select a situation, and write a step-by-step procedure and diagram on graph paper for solving the...

Third graders distinguish between savings and spending. Students graph out a variety of important Economic concepts/vocabulary. They set up an imaginary job to save money and spend money.

Learners generate experimental questions regarding conductors of electricity, plug cord into pickle, and measure and graph voltage drop across electrodes. Students then compare to variety of other conductors of their choosing.

High schoolers read "Geographical Mobility: 1995-2000." They examine the maps in the handouts and compare them with maps from an atlas. In the second part of this lesson, students read "In Harm's Way." They receive three more handouts,...

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....

Learners identify and extend a number pattern into very large values. They create and interpret a graph based on their number patterns. Students compare a math model with real-world statistics about the existence of vampires.

Students review their numbers up to one hundred. Using a chart, they compare and predict patterns that might be in the numbers. They practice skip counting and grouping numbers. Using a spreadsheet, they graph different sets of numbers...

Eleventh graders analyze the patterns and waves of immigrants that have come to the United States from 1850 to 2000. They participate in a class discussion about immigration, and in small groups conduct research analyzing and evaluating...

Students explore various methods of solving quadratic equations. After practicing solving one problem with multiple methods, students compare and graph answers. They discuss which method of solving is best to use in a given situation.

Students use batting averages to provide a measure of a player's past success. They use Algebra to calculate required performance to improve the average. Students compare baseball batting statistics early in the season and late in the...

Students investigate various aspects of transportation while working with different resources to conduct research. The research is used to find information in order to create a presentation that includes writing and graphing.

Students participate in a simple atmospheric experiment where they collect, tabulate, graph and analyze information on how they got around on one trip. They compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of different forms of...

Students research and investigate the concepts carbon cycle and fossil fuels. They graph the carbon dioxide production as well as populations of six nations. Together they generate a variety of recommendations to reduce travel=related...

Students view a video which introduces them to density and the states of matter. They experiment, collect data, and graph the boiling/freezing points of several edible items...and then make brownies!
