Students read and discuss a news article about the elderly in the workplace. They use the content of the article for practice in making predictions, determining verb tense, and basic comprehension.

Fifth graders interpret data and create graphs. Given Fruit Loops, they sort and classify according to color. Using spreadsheet technology, 5th graders record their data and create bar and circle graphs. Students analyze data and...

In this solar flares and coronal mass ejections worksheet, learners create a Venn Diagram with given data about solar flares and Halo CMEs. Students answer 6 questions about the events and the probability of each type of event occurring...

In this math worksheet, students investigate probability by tossing a number cube 20 times and recording the times that it lands on each number. Tally marks are used to record data. Kids then participate in an experiment in predicting,...

Middle schoolers use dice to determine the risk of being exposed to radon. They practice using new vocabulary related to probability and ratios. They make predictions about the results and record their observations.

Second graders begin the lesson by planting their own bean seed. Individually, they make predictions about how many leaves and roots their plant might grow and each day record their observations. They graph the results of the length of...

Students organize rock samples according to their properties. In this earth science lesson, students predict whether they are igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary. They compare their prediction with the actual type.

Students work together to measure tree heights. They make predictions on what they believe the calculations are and answer questions during the experiment. They share their results with the class.

Few things can motivate children to learn like the promise of a sweet and tasty treat. Given a bag of M&M®s, Skittles®, or other colorful candy, students first predict the contents of the bag before counting the pieces,...

Write-on! Demonstrate a writing model and support learners as they write an informational essay on a water resource issue of your (or their) choosing. The lesson plan provides a well-scaffolded summative writing...

Students evaluate word problems.  In this problem solving instructional activity, students are presented with word problems requiring graphing skills and students work independently to solve.

Students analyze and calculate expenses using the historic Horatio's road trip. Mathematics is taught using a cross curricular approach.

Students use the concepts in statistics to make decisions. They calculate the mean, median and mode. They compare one firefighter against another and analyze the data. They share their information with the class.

Students predict the-outcome of an event. In this algebra lesson plan, students compare and contrast the probability of an event occurring. They calculate the odds of a simple event and make estimation.

Students explore Punnett squares and illustrate specific genotypic and phenotypic genetic outcomes. After a class discussion, students predict the probability of a specific trait being passed on by using Punnett squares. They reveal the...

Young scholars explore genetics through various hands-on activities. In this biology lesson, students predict the probability of offspring genotypes and phenotypes using the Punnett Square. They explain the causes of genetic abnormalities.

Students construct Punnett squares to illustrate specific genotypic and phenotypic genetic outcomes. Students calculate the probability of achieving specific genotypic and phenotypic genetic oucomes, using dihybrid Punnett squares.

Students use data from simulations to make theoretical generalizations. They discuss possible relationships between several given events and gain understanding about their own mathematical intuition about likelihood.

Learners describe the inheritance patterns other than simple dominance. They are taught how Mendel's principles apply to all organisms. Students review the use of Punnett Squares. They are taught the principles of probability and...

Coordinate planes and Cartesian graphing systems are the focus of this math lesson. Learners use video, internet activities, and engage in hands-on activities in order to explore coordinate planes. The materials needed for this lesson...

Paper folding, flu spreading in a school, bacteria growth, and continuously compounded interest all provide excellent models to study exponential functions. This is a comprehensive resource that looks at many different aspects of...

Middle schoolers identify a topic for an open-ended question and evaluate the question. After developing ideas that lead to inquire, they investigate and research this topic on the Internet, and then create an iMovie.

An inventive lesson plan shows learners how to collect, organize, and present mathematical data. They access websites which lead them through a variety of ways to engage in data collection. They get to design and create graphs, and...

Examine different types of graphs as a means for analyzing data. Math scholars identify the type of graph from a series of data displays and then develop questions to match each one. Then, given a scatter plot of height versus age...
