Learners explore the concept of evaporation rates in this evaporation rates lesson. They will try to identify the chemical that began a fire, perform an experiment where they use the evaporation rates to determine the unknown liquid, and...

Students perform operations and graph their data using charts and bar graphs. In this algebra lesson, students follow specific steps to make a bar graph. They create a survey about people favorite things and plot their data from the...

Learners study the concept of central tendency in this data collection for bar graph lesson plan. They collect data outside as instructed and organize it into a bar graphs, then they list in specific groups the labels that appear on the...

Students conduct research and use census data to compare different times and places. In this census lesson, students interpret data from charts and graphs, comparing census information from two time periods as well as from two different...

Pupils explore the concept of collecting data as they collect data on their graphing calculator about time, temperature, and light. Learners plot the data and create histograms and box and whisker plots to analyze the data.

Learners count, sort, and classify jellybeans by color. They use their data to create a bar graph. Students are given a small bag of jellybeans, and a worksheet on Counting Candies Tally Chart. They work in small groups. Learners are...

Learners surf the Web gathering information about graphs. The data collected is incorporated into an Excel spreadsheet and graphs of varying nature generated to further enhance student understanding.

Students explore statistics by completing a graphing activity. In this data analysis lesson plan, students define a list of mathematical vocabulary terms before unpacking a box of raisins. Students utilize the raisins to plot data on a...

Fifth graders examine the importance of electricity to their everyday lives, practice plotting and interpreting data on a bar graph, and reflect in their journals about how their lives would change without electricity.

Adjust this lesson plan to fit either beginning or more advanced learners. Build a scatter plot, determine appropriate model (linear, quadratic, exponential), and then extend to evaluate the model with residuals. This problem uses...

Learners demonstrate how the moon affects the tides, a neap tide, and spring tides by using their bodies as models. After students observe the model they created, they draw and label the diagram on a provided worksheet. They then log...

Students explore change represented in graphs comparing distance and time. They exchange and share their graphs. Students interpret and create distance versus time line-graphs, and write stories based on these graphs. They interpret a...

Third graders create rain gauges and take them home. Individually, they record the rainfall amounts at all of their homes over a 2-week period and then bring the data back to class so they can compare the different amounts of rainfall...

Seventh graders create motion graphs using a motion sensor. For this physics lesson, 7th graders match the graph shown by moving their body. They relate the slope to the way they moved.

Class members publish a letter describing their Virtual Field Trip incorporating data from previously developed charts, graphs, and data tables. The final instructional activity in a series devoted to collecting information and...

Learners explore how the population decreased in native cultures.
