Students make origami frogs to race. After the race they measure the distance raced, collect the data, enter it into a chart. They then find the mean, median, and mode of the data. Next, students enter this data into Excel at which time...

Students analyze linear equation. In this algebra lesson, students analyze and graph data. They solve problems involving linear equations and graph lines using the slope and y intercept.

In this pie graph learning exercise, students draw a pie graph for the zookeeper with the data he collected, choose a different color for each animal species and make a key to the graph.

Students solve theoretical probability problems. In this algebra lesson, students apply the concept of probabilities to solving real life scenarios. They collect data and graph it using experimental probability.

Fourth graders study the water cycle and clouds. In this water cycle and cloud lesson, 4th graders determine the definition of condensation and watch a demonstration in which the teacher makes a cloud in a bottle. They discuss the water...

Explore the properties of oil through an experiment. They use the scientific process to investigate oil, participate in experiments, watch videos,and use information from the internet to determine how oil has changed our...

Students use data to make a tally chart and a line plot. They find the maximum, minimum, range, median, and mode of the data. Following the video portion of the lesson, students will visit a Web site to test their data collection skills...

Students explore data and Excel spreadsheets. They collect data about political candidates. Students enter the data into a chart on Excel. They create a graph using the data and Excel.

Here is a classic activity used to introduce your class to the concept of probability and data collection. They will roll one die 30 times, then record and discuss the results. Great introduction, but too shallow to be considered a...

A simple worksheet that helps learners conduct a survey is here for you. In it, pupils collect data on their family and classmate's favorite months. Youngsters use tally marks in the spaces provided to keep track of the answers. Once...

Seventh graders simulate probability experiments. Using a graphing calculator, 7th graders design, conduct, and draw conclusions from simulations or probability experiments. Students construct frequency tables and compare the...
