Young mathematicians fold and flick their way to a deeper understanding of statistics with a fun, hands-on math unit. Over the course of four lessons, students use paper footballs to generate data as they learn how to create line...

Students make observations of what they see happening in the formation of a cloud in a modeled situation. They compile their observations in a list to better explain how the formation happened.

Students measure water and make predictions about efficiency.

Fifth graders collect and organize data from writing samples, use fractions and decimals to describe the experimental data, and use the experimental results to make predictions about the frequency of letter usage in the English language.

Students investigate the history of the waterwheel and common uses for water turbines today. They construct an experimental waterwheel using a two-liter plastic bottle, measure the rate of revolution of a waterwheel, and complete a...

Students explore the development of paint and paintings during the Renaissance. In a science lab, they reproduce the properties of egg in tempera paint and compare and contrast egg tempera paintings to oil paintings. Through...

Learners create a scatter plot of their experimental data. In this algebra lesson, students use M&M's to determine an algebraic model. They discuss results in class.

Seventh graders examine force and motion. In this seventh grade mathematics/science lesson, 7th graders collect and analyze data regarding the use of an atlatl to throw a spear. Students describe and analyze the motion which leads to the...

Can scientists increase the rate of photosynthesis to help clean the air? Scholars complete an experiment determining net photosynthesis. Then, they apply knowledge from the activity to design their own investigations of the factors that...

Explore the connection of surface area to bonding within atoms. Learners complete lab investigations to model changing surface area with different sizes and concentrations of atoms. A flour fireball demonstration follows the labs to...

Explore the power of mathematics through this two-week statistics unit. Pupils learn about several climate-related issues and complete surveys that communicate their perceptions. They graph both univariate and bivariate data and use...

Students collect data on different events and word problems. In this algebra lesson, students use a table to organize their data. They graph their coordinate pairs on a coordinate plane and make predictions.

Young scholars use logic to locate the primary cases, the people who started the spread of the disease through the population. They graph the data of the number of people infected over time (exchanges) and determine an equation that best...

Students perform operations with matrices. In this algebra lesson, students use cryptography and cryptanalysis to solve problems. They add, subtract, and multiply matrices.

Learners use an on line website to simulate the effects of light intensity and wavelength on photosynthesis. In this photosynthesis lesson plan, students determine how wavelength of light and intensity of light affect the rate at which...

Students understand the properties of Bamboo and what it can be used for. In this bamboo instructional activity, students with bamboo and compare and contrast to wood. Students share their findings.

Students enjoy the challenge of the seed structure design component of this activity and become very competitive as they seek to create a seed that travel farthest.

Third graders verify the validity of Punnett squares. They simulate a real-world situation by drawing chromosomes from a paper bag and track the data.

Young scholars practice formulating a hypothesis and designing an experiment to test the hypothesis. They identify several sampling techniques they can use to test their hypotheses.

Students estimate and calculate the distance of a shape. In this algebra activity, students differentiate between a horizontal distance and it's reflected image. They measure the reflection and the point starting at the eye of the observer.

Students design and conduct an experiment on Galileo's Rule of Falling Bodies. In this physics lesson, students collect and analyze data. They create a presentation and share it with the class.

Learners, in groups, design their own experiments to determine how the mode of application of the virus extract affects the various plants that students have grown from seed.

Students examine the work of scientists and determine how they test their theories.
