The battle of the sexes? Scholars first examine data on hurricane-related deaths and create graphical displays. They then use the data and displays to consider whether hurricanes with female names result in more deaths than hurricanes...

Does writing the name of a color in a different colored ink affect one's ability to read it? Scholars design an experiment to answer this question. They collect the data, analyze the statistics, and draw a conclusion based on...

Quick! Snap up the lesson. Scholars first use an online app to collect data on reaction times by clicking a button when the color of a box changes. They then plot and analyze the data by considering measures of center, measures of...

Young scholars analyze different data in percentage form. In this statistics lesson, students plot data using box-plots, dotplot, and histogram. They compare and contrast the collected data using the boxplot.

Caffeine affects your heart rate — or does it? Learners study experimental design while conducting their own experiment. They collect heart rate data after drinking a caffeinated beverage, create a box plot, and draw conclusions....

Ninth graders view the film "Pay It Forward" and discuss what kind of public campaign is needed to move people to positive action. They consider different ways of presenting information (graphs, visual displays, etc.) as tools for...

Students explore number relationships by participating in a data collection activity. In this statistics lesson, students participate in a role-play activitiy in which they own a scrap material storefront that must replenish its...

There are places in the US where a road cannot be found for miles! The instructional activity asks learners to use random longitude and latitude coordinates within the US to collect data. They then determine the sample proportion and...

Field study groups collect samples of stream water and identify the macroinvertebrates found. Using their data, they calculate a water quality index to rate the health of the stream. They graph their data and discuss the value of a water...

Students explore graphs and define the different ways they are used to display data. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and plot their data using the correct graph. They draw conclusions from their graphs based on their data.

Students analyze linear equation. In this algebra lesson, students analyze and graph data. They solve problems involving linear equations and graph lines using the slope and y intercept.

Students collect data and graph it. In this algebra lesson plan, students create a survey for their classmates and teachers. They analyze the results from the survey and graph it. They draw conclusion from their data based on the graph.

Students analyze the number of times each letter in the alphabet is used in the names of the states. In this statistics lesson, students create a stem and leaf plot, box and whisker plot and a histogram to analyze their data.

Students identify ways to conserve water. In this environmental lesson plan, students use a water use checklist to identify how much water they use in one day. Students analyze the data and brainstorm ways to conserve water.

Pupils investigate line graphs.   In this middle school mathematics lesson, students compare and contrast different types of graphs and create line graphs based on the data provided.

Students investigate polling. In this statistics lesson, students collect data-on polling and graph their data on a coordinate plane. They identify biased and non-biased polling.

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 participate in various activities, measuring their pulse rates and recording the data. They analyze the statistical concepts of mean, median, mode, and histograms using the data from the cardiovascular activities.

Students explore the characteristics of a pure sound wave produced by a tuning fork. They use sine waves to find a curve to fit the sound wave data produced by the tuning fork. A CBL and microphone is required for this activity.

Seventh graders conduct year long study of water quality over different seasons using variety of probes, including D.O., pH, conductivity and temperature, that are attached to portable technology. Students select three data points in...
