Line Graph Teacher Resources

Fifth graders develop strategies for estimating ages, and illustrate results by graphing and interpreting scatter plots to compare x and y coordinates.

Students investigate their pulse rate. They chart their resting pulse rate if they are unable to participate in Physical Education using a stop watch.

Students practice graphing relationships between variables by studying topics such as exponential growth and decay. They conduct a series of numerical experiments using a computer model and a variety of physical experiments using mold,...

Seventh graders measure and record temperature over a given time period. They compare the recorded temperatures to the 40-year recorded normal average temperatures for the same area. Students display and interpret their findings in a graph.

Seventh graders use previously completed graphs. They discuss what the graph tells them. They discuss height, and discuss the range of the class height. Students graph data of their height with a bar graph, and repeat with eye color.

Middle schoolers monitor local surface weather conditions for at least 30 days. They interpret the data by graphing it and detemining percentages.

Fourth graders participate in a canned food drive.

High schoolers analyze data to determine the effect of thermal pollution on a certain species of fish. They graph temperature and dissolved oxygen and make inferences on the impact a change in temperature could have on the fish. As a...

Students construct their own pendulum. In this physics lesson, students design an experiment to find the factors affecting its period. They formulate a conclusion based on experimental data.

Students experiment to determine if a game is fair, collect data, interpret data, display data, and state and apply the rule for probability. Students use a simple game for this experiment.

Students discuss definitions of estuary, salinity, and the salt front. They listen as the teacher explains the Hudson River Miles and ways the upriver and downriver sections relate to the north and south. Students graph the salt front...

Young scholars record data, make observations, and share in experimentation and discussion of numerical experiments.

Students discuss the topic of streamflow and how it occurs. They take measurements and analyze them. They interpret data and create their own charts and graphs.

Second graders, in groups, participate in a four-station rotation model to solve problems. They use coins and dice for stations one, two, and three.

Students examine different variables and their effects on weight gain in mice. They consider the validity of relating the results in mice to humans.Finally, they discuss the ethics of using animals in experiments.

Students study population distribution and survivorship curves by collecting data regarding age of death of humans from either tombstones, newspapers, or other community resources. Students analyze data by creating graphs and population...

Students design an experiment to analyze the timbre of different instruments. For this physics lesson, students analyze the missing quality in sound. They discuss their results in class.

Twelfth graders complete research relating to population changes in counties/states in the U.S. from 1900 to 2000 and use the slope formula to determine the overall change in population for each of the ten decades. They present their...

Sixth graders explore how exercise affects heart rate and use spreadsheets to record and analyze data.

Fifth graders go to each of the 3 stations testing their maximum strength and then make a spreadsheet and how to work with excel. Students create and finish their spread sheet on how they did on day 1.

Pupils distinguish between visualization and scientific visualization. They use the software program Spygalss to create images from two-dimensional arrays of numbers.

Students play a probability game, then design and complete a probability problem concerning changing odds.

Students differentiate between the terms 'tornado watch' and 'tornado warning' and simulate the conditions that produce tornadoes. They read "Night of the Twisters" by Ivy Ruckman and conduct an experiment using two-liter plastic...

Data collected is represented in tables and the students will need to choose what they want to represent in their line graph.
