Randomization Teacher Resources

An informative video overviews haploid versus diploid cells, how meiosis, fertilization, and mitosis all work together, how mitosis and meiosis differ in their processes and end results, and concludes with a brief discussion about...

If some genes were exposed to microwaves, would that cause microevolution? In the video, scholars learn about microevolution or any change in the allele frequency of a population. The instructor explains the five ways microevolution...

In this probability worksheet, students solve 2 different problems that include 7 parts in the first one and 2 parts in the second. First, they find the probability that one marble selected at random from a jar will be yellow or green....

Students explore how to select unbiased random samples as they choose report data to include on maps. They propose methods for choosing random numbers and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. They consider bias in science.

Learners identify acts of kindness in the news. In this random acts of kindness activity, students discuss kindness, find a news article about an act of kindness that took place in another country, locate the country on a map, and write...

For this comparative experiment worksheet, students solve and complete 4 different problems related to conducting the described experiment. First, they explain how they will recruit their participants and discuss whether or not the group...

In this statistics worksheet, 11th graders complete word problems by analyzing data given to them. They answer the probability of an even occurring and reasons it should occur. There are 16 questions on this worksheet.

Students participate in probability experiments and simulations while modeling and solving problems. They examine how to use the random number generator on a graphing calculator using examples from their local hockey teams.

Students demonstrate probability distribution of non-random variables. Students collect data on the NBA Championships. They record the data and compute subsets and permutations.

Young readers work on evaluating claims in a piece of informational text with the article "In New York, It's Open Bag or Find Exits" from the New York Times. They analyze current search procedures implemented to fight terrorism...

Positive character traits in literature are explored in this character development and literacy instructional activity. Learners listen to Cinderella by Charles Perrault and Little Gold Star by Robert D. San Souci, followed by a...

Bonjour! Comment ça-va? Introduce your language learners to French by playing the song "Parce Qu'on Vient de Loin." They attempt to describe what the song says and learn some basic French greetings like bonjour, au revoir, je m'appelle,...

Twenty-six elements, compounds, and ions are randomly listed for chemistry whizzes to analyze. They are to diagram the Lewis electron dot structure for each, resulting in further insight on the configuration of different molecules. They...

For this geometric probability worksheet, students solve and complete 12 different problems that include determining the outcomes of various types of probability. First, they use a tree diagram or an area model to compute the desired...

Young scholars demonstrate how to find the probability of events. In this probability lesson, students use colored tiles in a paper bag and randomly select one at a time to record the probability.

Use this probability and graphing lesson to have your learners work with a partner to make a necklace out of Froot Loops. They record the cereal colors randomly chosen and strung, graph their data, then use a ratio formula to determine...

Do your young authors suffer from writer's block when they try to write short stories? Access their natural creativity with C-Gor, the writing monster! The instructional activity takes aspiring authors through a new writing process...

Use drawings as inspiration. Have learners doodle for 10 minutes before beginning the lesson. Then, have them use their doodles to inspire a story. Several writing activities are included here to play with writing. One of my favorites...

Explore the difference between stochastic and deterministic modeling through programming. First have the class write algorithms for relatively simple tasks using pseudocode. Use the Python 2.7 program app to simulate Mendel's Pea Pod...

This simple and fun game collaborates young mathematicians as they practice counting. Using a double ten frame each, partners alternate rolling a die and filling in spaces with as many counters as was rolled. They continue until both...

Which numbers are missing on these hundreds charts? Beginning counters fill in the blank squares in a set of hundreds charts. One simply has the numbers 1 and 100, while the others are missing every other number, only even numbers, or...

Practice letter recognition using this fun alphabet game! Focusing on a suggested six target letters, this partner activity has learners saying and recognizing letter names as quickly as possible. Using a randomly chosen letter as the...

Partners practice reading fluency by reciting sentence strips to each other with proper expression and intonation. Partner A chooses a strip at random and reads it silently, then aloud with expression. Partner B reads the same sentence...

Practice counting forward and completing number sentences with this four-part worksheet. Learners start by completing three number sequences, filling in the first number. Then, they switch it around by finishing two number sequences with...
