Learners explore measurement by measuring classmates' heads. They record their measurements and they put the measurements in order from smallest to largest. Students figure the mean, median, mode, maximum, minimum, and range of their...

Fifth graders throw darts, collecting data for distance traveled. In this data analysis lesson, 5th graders throw a dart using an atlatl. They calculate the speed for each throw and determine the best dart length for distance throws.

Second graders design a successful kite for Kite Day.

Students trace how weather patterns generally move from west to east in the United States.

Eighth graders discover the relationship between speed, distance, and time. They calculate speed and represent their data graphically. They, in groups, design a ramp for their matchbox car. The goal is to see who's ramp produces the...

Second graders analyze the likelihood of simple events.

Third graders focus on state birds as they learned absolute location (latitude/longitude) of each state, as well as their relative location (bordering states).

Fourth graders participate in a canned food drive.

Fifth graders analyze data using a graphical presentation.

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.

Students 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 study the environment and interactions of living organisms. They identify abiotic and biotic factors and create a foldable and vocabulary cards. They create a poster illustrating soil and watch a video to study symbiosis.

Students create a 3D vector field map of an electric field. For this physics lesson, students measure the voltage inside an aquarium with water. They present their findings and map to class..

Students create their own newspaper after gathering information at the Museum of Natural History's Hall of Biodiversity.

Students gather and analyze data from sports teams. In this measures of central tendency instructional activity, students gather information from websites about sports team performance. Students analyze and draw conclusions from this...

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

Students record data, make observations, and share in experimentation and discussion of numerical experiments.

Students construct their own pendulum. In this physics lesson, students design an experiment to find the factors affecting its period. They formulate a conclusion based on experimental data.

Students design an experiment to analyze the timbre of different instruments. In this physics lesson, students analyze the missing quality in sound. They discuss their results in class.

At the end of this instructional activity about graphs, charts, and tables, students will be able to interpret and compare data from graphs (including circle, bar, and line graphs), charts, and tables.

This lesson plan asks students to create a survey project including graphs, questions, tables, and data analysis. It gives an assessment and ideas for remediation and extension as well as ways to manage behavior problems and reluctant...

An interdisciplinary math, science, and language arts lesson that engages students in an exploration of statistics. Through a study of various forest climates, students utilize data collection and analysis, classification, and graphing....
