Young scholars use their Halloween candy to practice sorting and classifying. They compete a Venn diagram comparing their candy wrappers. They develop ways as a class to catorgize the candy in different ways.

Students demonstrate the relationship between stress and strain, then graph stress-strain curves for various common materials. Students interpret graphed results and discuss differences in mechanical properties of materials.

Students work together to test the strengths of various types of magnets. After testing, they create a graph showing how the strength changes as the distance from the magnet increases. They discuss how forces can act from various...

Eighth graders research, collect and interpret data about weather statistics. They record that data on spreadsheets. they create Powerpoint presentations on their individual or group research.

Sixth graders construct a graph to demonstration information that they've learned about the solary system. They also write or illustrate a sonar or lunar eclipse.

Seventh graders investigate scientific methods to solve problems. They demonstrate creating data tables and graphs. They study the role of a scientist and the importance of safety in a science lab. They distinguish between an...

Young scholars research the animals at SeaWorld and then relate the info they have found into various types of graphs; line, circle and bar. This lesson combines math and science nicely. They access a website imbedded in this plan to do...

Students create an experiment in which they measure the speed of a wave and record the data in a graph. They work in small groups to write the procedure for the experiment and share it with another group for cross checking of the...

Students use CERES percent coverage surface data with a world map in locating landmasses and bodies of water at Earth's Equator.

Second graders select a stock and follow its ups and downs, using graphs to show its success.

Second graders use data analysis skills in order to plan a class party. They graph possible times for the party noting the range for times. They discuss how mathematicians find and use the range to analyze data.

Fifth graders study six major biomes, graph temperature and rainfall, and present their findings to the class.

Eighth graders determine food that they would need to survive in the wild. They graph the best foods for their environments and rate the survivability rate for each member of their group.

Students spend $10,000 by picking up to 3 stocks in which to invest. They monitor their progress for three weeks, and chart results in a spreadsheet template.

Students explore air and clouds by watching demonstration. They perform an experiment to measure air pressure changes.

Students read and relate the poem, "Clouds" by Aileen Fisher to a demonstration on cloud formation. They create clouds in jars using ice water and matches then discuss the ways clouds can be used to predict weather.

Students create a graph that showcases their pick for favorite kind of apple. Students are given samples of a variety of apples to determine their favorite in a taste test. They a create a tally chart of favorite kinds apples and use a...

Second graders use tree diagrams to predict the possible outcomes of coin tosses. The data they collect and graph also help them predict the likelihood of getting heads or tails when tossing coins the next time.

First graders sort Valentine candies according to kind. Data is inserted into a spreadsheet and displayed in various graphic formats.

Students find an advertisement or newspaper using charts or graphs. They create another graph using the same information in a different format. They write a comparison of the two graphs.

Young scholars observe and describe different objects seen under a microscope and compare the individual perspectives of what was seen.

Second graders, in groups, participate in a four-station rotation model to solve problems. They use coins and dice for stations one, two, and three.

Students research immigration data from a specific time period. They create a graphic organizer that depicts the information and share the information with the class.
