Upper graders examine the concept of probability. They collect data and create a bar graph. They must interpret the data as well. Everyone engages in hands-on games and activities which lead them to predict possible outcomes for a...

Each of the Earth's spheres interacts with the other spheres in predictable ways. Young scientists explore these interactions through a hands-on activity, graphing, and watching a video. They summarize their knowledge in a video or...

Fourth graders explore the mass and length of peanuts by pretending to parent a peanut. In this mode, median and range lesson students graph their measurements and then use them to find the mode, median and range. Students discuss peanut...

Searching for a relatively interesting way to demonstrate Charles' Law? Here is a instructional activity in which pupils heat air inside a flask and then cool the flask to quickly cool the air. They make observations about what...

In this mathematics worksheet, 6th graders use a line graph to illustrate how a measure of data changes and explain their reasoning. Then they use a bar graph to compare pieces of data and a pictograph to compare data.

Students collect and graph data. In this algebra lesson, students investigate speed and distance and their application in the real world. They relate concepts of algebra and geometry as it relates to distance, vectors and speed.

Learners study the concept of central tendency in this data collection for bar graph lesson. 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 categorize sweetheart candy by color or message. In this sorting and graphing lesson, students collect data by sorting the candy and then diagram their results in a graph.

First graders investigate worms, collect and analyze data. In this worm and data lesson, 1st graders listen to Chick and Duckling from the Macmillan/McGraw-Hill reading series. They conduct experiments with worms, collect simple data,...

Students graph data from different popcorn flavors. In this graphing lesson, students make graphs using an assigned web site after collecting data about the flavors of popcorn that fellow classmates prefer.

Students use data about their birthdays to create graphs. In this collecting and communicating information lesson, students make a class list of their birthdays. Students use the information to make a bar graph showing the information.

Students learn about transect lines through a study of marine debris.  In this marine debris lesson, students calculate the items on a transect line and graph them.  Students complete a category worksheet.

Students 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 analyze a bag of Valentine candy to create a graph. In this graphing lesson, students make predictions, sort by color, record data and make a graph. Students discuss results and make generalizations. Students generate their own...

Students are able to identify the characteristics of a variety of graphs (i.e. bar graph, line graph, pie graph, scatter plot, population pyramids, etc.) They recognize how the type of data to be presented plays a role in choosing the...

In this math worksheet, students will work in a group to experiment with the weight of objects when placed at a distance from a scale (using a plank). Students will record and graph their results.

Students use calculator and non-calculator methods for analyzing data. They apply data collection and analysis in a study of mass and weight. Students enhance and apply the concept of line of best fit. They master graphing in a plane,...

Students collect and record data. In this early data analysis lesson, students gather data about their partners face. As a class, the students use tally marks and pictographs to record the data and answer question about the information...

Students research the solar cycle. In this Science lesson, students use the internet to investigate the solar cycle. Students produce a spreadsheet and graph from the information collected.

Students investigate graphing.  In this bar graph lesson, students view an informational website about graphing, then construct a class birthday bar graph outside with sidewalk chalk. Students choose a survey topic, then collect...

In need of some algebraic fun with real world implications?Learners use ordered pairs, a table of values and a scatter plot to evaluate the validity of several real world data sets. The class focuses on  dog ages in human...

Young scholars research the impact of craters. In this range, mean, median and mode lesson plan, students complete an experiment with a marble to simulate the effects of a crater. Young scholars collect and analyze data finding the...

Learners select appropriate tools and technology to perform tests, collect data, and display data. They construct appropriate graphs from data and develop qualitative statements about the relationships between variables.

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