The Normal Distribution Activity
For whom does the bell fit? Pupils begin by working in groups gather data on three different variables. They then determine the mean and standard deviation of each data set and create bell curves. To finish, they answer guiding questions...

Assessing Normalcy
Students define normal distribution as it relates to the bell curve. In this statistics lesson, students use the central tendencies of mean, median and mode to solve problems. They plot their data and draw conclusion from the graphs.

Contours, Curves & Lines
Students discover how straight lines and curves function in both art and the science of conservation tillage by building model "hills" and experimenting on them.

Exploring the Normal Curve Family
Students find different characteristics of the bell curve. In this statistics lesson, students analyze a family for a specific characteristic. They identify the shape, center, spread and area as they analyze the characteristic of the...

Z-Scores
Students solve problems by identifying the percent of area under the curve. In this statistics lesson, students discuss z-scores as they calculate the different percentages under the bell curve. They calculate the standard deviation.

Percentiles
Students analyze the bell curve and make predictions. In this statistics lesson, students calculate the percentile to the left of the curve. They then are given the percentile and create the graph from the data.

Boxplots Introduction
Students describe the pattern of a bell curve graph. In this statistics lesson, students move data around and make observation about the mean, and the quartiles. They define boxplot, outlier, range and other important vocabulary words...

Meaning of Alpha
young scholars define the alpha level. In this statistics lesson, students identify what makes the "null rejected" and discuss the data surrounding the null. They observe the meaning of alpha as it relates to the bell curve.
