Plotting Phenology
Finally, a worksheet that involves more than filling in some blanks. Your budding ecologists must graph and analyze three sets of data, then synthesize the information as they think about the impacts of plant reproduction on insects and...
Curated OER
Mathematics of Doodles
Students use the slope and y-intercept to graph lines. For this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations and apply it to solving real life problems.

A Simple Thermoetric Titration
In this thermometric titration worksheet, students investigate the changes in temperature when an alkali is neutralized by an acid. Students graph their results from the titration and draw 2 best fit lines on their graph. Where the lines...
Curated OER
Trends in the Periodic Table
In this trends in the periodic table activity, students plot the ionization energy vs. atomic number and they plot atomic radius vs. atomic number of the first 20 elements. Students analyze their graphs and answer questions about the...

Super-Ball Physics
Students experiment with varied balls to determine the bounce factor in centimeters. In this physics lesson, students experiment to find the height a ball must be dropped from the have the highest bounce rate. Students graph the results...
Curated OER
Walking the Plank
Eighth graders experiment with a bathroom scale, books and a plank to determine how weight readings change as distance is applied. They graph and interpret the results.

Searching a Region in the Plane
Programming a robot is a mathematical task! The activity asks learners to examine the process of programming a robot to vacuum a room. They use a coordinate plane to model the room, write equations to represent movement, determine the...
Curated OER
The Proof
Learners will construct simple curves on graph paper by connecting a series of points between the vertical and horizontal axes. They share their designs and explain the patterns.
