A graph is a graph is a graph. This video reviews different types of graphs (line, bar, circle, histogram, scatter plot) using a matching game. It also describes the purpose of each type of graph to help learners remember when to use...

Bar graphs can help learners answer questions, such as the difference between speed limits. Using the data collected and displayed on a bar graph, the tutor reads the given speed limits to pull data, subtract, and find the difference....

Elucidating the concept of box-and-whisker plots, Sal explains not only how to generate the diagram but also how to read one. He uses several examples to help young mathematicians become familiar with the format and explains its...

How many ways can you think of to display data? A quick video lesson describes the process of creating one of them, a line graph, which is also referred to as a frequency polygon. After creating the graph, the instructor models how to...

Do meteorologists and climate scientists use the same tools? The final lesson in a 13-part series on Exploring Energy compares and contrasts climate and weather. It describes the scientists who study each, the tools they use, their...

More carbon dioxide exists in the atmosphere than ever in human history. An informative video introduces the topic of global warming as part of a larger playlist. It looks at possible causes such as Earth's orbit, Earth's moving axis,...

What's my line, anyway? A video covers the aspects of finding an equation of the best-fit line for a set of data. It works through plotting the points to drawing a line that appears to represent the data. The presenter suggests finding...

Another way to organize data beyond the stem and leaf plot - the histogram - is the focus of this lesson. Sal's objective is to introduce viewers to these methods of organization, making them familiar and straightforward, so students can...

Let the pictures do the talking! Young scholars learn to analyze data displayed in pictograms using a video resource. They then test their analytical skills by reading and answering questions using several pictogram examples.

Have scientists considered that the sun heating up might be a cause of global warming? The sixth of seven videos on the factors that affect the climate explains and tests this theory. It includes data collected from satellites, weather...

Young scientists explore climate change by taking a look at many different disciplines. They hear from scientists who study soil, clouds, ice cores, ocean temperatures, and more. Then, they search public databases to draw their own...

Humans on average are shorter than they were centuries ago. Young scholars analyze the factors that affect the height of individuals including historical trends in a video lesson. The presentation analyzes both genetic and...

Eighty-four percent of people have an irrational fear. This video focuses on a fear of spiders. It explains the different types of fear, the conditioning that creates fear, and the evolutionary advantage to these fears. It doesn't just...

How often do the minds of those in your class wander? Matt Killingsworth unpacks his research and illustrates a connection between mind wandering and unhappiness, explaining the inherent value of staying in the moment. Begin a discussion...

Scientists and engineers in every field use scientific notation. The Socratica video explains what scientific notation is and why people use it. Then, it offers examples of how to convert a number into and out of scientific notation....

Paul Andersen explains how graphs are used to visually display data that is collected in experimentation. He describes five main types of graphs; line graph, scatter plot, bar graph, histogram and pie chart. He describes the important...

A look at why multivariate data is collected and how it can be graphed by a computer program for study analysis. The real-life example shown here involves collecting and analyzing data taken from the Chesapeake Bay in order to examine...

After graphing their shoes based on specific characteristics, a preschool class discusses the results and draws some conclusions. Watch this video to see the outcome of this lesson. [2:29]

In this video lesson [3:09], students see how to extract information from a table and insert it into a graph. It is 2 of 8 in the series titled "Creating a Graph from a Table."

In this video lesson students see how to extract information from a table and insert it into a graph.

Use collected data to graph scatter plots on a coordinate plane. Take quiz to check understanding.

Follow three young bird watchers as they count how many birds they can find outside. The bird watchers count how many cardinals, blue jays, and goldfinches they see outside, then learn how to chart the results. Includes teacher...
