Students plot the average rainfall for a variety of cities in the United States. Using the map, they work together to determine patterns on which toxicants are transported through the air. They determine the impacts of various weather...

For this alkanes worksheet, students compare the average standard bond enthalpy for common bonds. Then, students complete three short answer questions.

Students explore average speed, and graph distances and time.  In this speed and velocity instructional activity students complete a lab then calculate distances, acceleration and velocity and graph the data.

In this circle graphs worksheet, students make a circle graph for each animal shown in a chart showing average number of hours each animal sleeps and is awake. 

Second graders research animal life spans and complete related math activities. In this life span lesson, 2nd graders read How Many Candles and discuss life spans. Students arrange animal cards based on their life spans. Students find...

Students investigate how weight affects a parachute's rate of fall.  In this investigative lesson students test parachutes, average results and conclude what makes a faster descent.

In this SOL worksheet, students solve inequalities, identify equivalent fractions and graph polynomial functions.  They find the geometric means and compute average rates.  This eight-page worksheet contains 20 multiple-choice...

Pupils graphically represent data from the Census.  In this middle school mathematics instructional activity, students investigate the housing characteristics of different tribes of Native Americans and compare them to the average...

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, students solve a problem that involves the average weights of a basketball team. The one page worksheet contains one problem with solution. 

Students complete several games and experiments, tally and graph their results. They figure the mean, median, range and/or average of their graphs to describe class results. They consider which statistic best represents the data at hand.

Students determine speed by running or walking a given distance and dividing the distance by the time it took them to do so. They record their average speed and compare it with the speeds of other moving objects.

Pupils create an astrolabe and locate the North Star in the night sky. They determine the latitude of the North Star, and calculate an average latitude based on class results.

Learners study cosmetic safety issues and concerns raised by advocacy groups. They create a cosmetic safety brochure designed for the average consumer, to create awareness about cosmetic safety concerns.

Ninth graders research local geography to create successful, ecological school landscaping. They determine soil type, average weather patterns and temperature graphs and use the information to select ideal plants and plant maintenance...

High schoolers study phenology, or the study of climate change. They research the Japanese springtime festival of Hanami and plot and interpret average cherry blossom bloom date data from the past 1100 years.

Students research how water is used to generate electricity. They investigate water's potential-to-kinetic energy transfer in hands-on activities about falling water and waterwheels. They take measurements, calculate averages and graph...

Students develop the key concepts of total, variable, fixed, average and marginal costs. The theory of using different business scenarios is applied to different situations for an extension to real life application.

Students determine the average speed of a toy car as it travels six different distances set up by Students. Three trials are done for each distance. The only requirements is that the longest distance must be at least three times longer...

Students identify protists under a microscope, and using a stopwatch calculate the speed of a protist from a pond water sample. They use distance and time to identify the speed of a protist, and create a distance versus time graph to...

Students examine how the value of an item may be different for different people and investigate how perceived value helps determine the price of items in the marketplace. They list what they consider to be the most valuable items in the...

Students discuss heroic behavior of individuals from the Holocaust. They examine early civilizations and their contributions to the foundations of human culture. They recognize that heroic behavior (just like discrimination) is done...

Fourth graders examine the required combinations of plates and predict which combination will generate the most and least current and voltage. They use an ammeter and experiment with combinations of their own testing and record each...

Students participate in a cemetery scavenger hunt and determine the average life span during a specific time period. The information for the project relates to the specific historic time period they are investigating.

Students compares the density and distribution differences of four species of spiders in two hypothetical habitats. They "sample" two habitats and then do calculations such as average density and relative distributions to compare the...
