Students investigate wind and weather by creating a weathervane.  For this environment lesson, students identify the purpose of a weathervane and observe weathervanes in action on their campus.  Students create a weathervane...

Collecting and understanding data is a big part of understanding the world and how it changes. To better grasp what temperatures are changing and how they affect global populations, learners create a graph based on the date provided....

How do you create a map of the ocean floor without getting wet? Middle school oceanographers discover the process of bathymetric mapping in the third installment in a five-part series of lessons designed for seventh and eighth graders....

How do animals adapt to weather changes? Provide your class with the ability to understand adaptations and body temperature as they participate in this hands on experiment, using fake fur and hot water. Pupils collect data and...

Scholars learn to create scatter plots and investigate any relationships that exists between the variables with a lesson that also show them that statistical relationships do not necessarily indicate a cause-and-effect...

Eighth graders extend their learning of graphing linear equations and are introduced to connecting patterns in tables and graphs to represent algebraic representations. They then determine patterns and extrapolate information from these...

Students investigate the different hormone contaminants in the water supply. In this math lesson plan, students analyze data tables and graphs. They demonstrate exponential growth and decay using frog populations.

Students examine computerized data maps in order to create graphs of the amount of snowfall found at certain latitudes by date. Then they compare the graphs and the data they represent. Students present an analysis of the graphs.

Second graders explore graphing. They count the number of pockets on their clothes and use Microsoft Excel to enter their data. Students create a class graph displaying their findings.

Third graders take notes on a PowerPoint presentation featuring calculating and analyzing data. They practice skills highlighted in the presentation and create a table in Microsoft Excel showing data analysis.

Students create a survey for their classmates to collect data on their favorite foods, eye color, pets or other categorical data. They compile the data from the survey in a table and then make a bar graph of each category using a web tool.

Fourth graders interpret a graph and make correlations using data. After taking a class survey, 4th graders create a class graph of their favorite planets. Working in small groups, they interpret the information and create at least ten...

Students study graphing skills and compare and contrast data sets. They compute pi through the first 50-100 digits and create a bar graph showing the frequencies of specific digits.

Fourth graders practice linear measurement skills by applying various measuring instruments to determine the heights of classmates. By measuring the heights of second graders and fourth graders, they construct tables of height and age...

Students do a variety of data analyses of real-life basketball statistics from the NBA. They chart and graph rebounding, scoring, shot blocking and steals data which are gathered from the newspaper sports section.

Learners engage in a research project to find information about one's personal family heritage. They collect information by conducting family interviews. Students use the data to create a graph, map, and timeline. Then learners take part...

Students discover the process of finding the mean, median, and mode. Through guided practice and problem solving activities, they use a computer program to input data and create a graph. Graph data is used to calculate the mean,...

Middle and high schoolers listen to a scenario about a puppy and use the scenario to develop formulas in order to find the area of a circle. In this circumference lesson, pupils understand how to find the radius, diameter, area of a...

Sixth graders compare and contrast bar and line graphs. Using a weather forecast of the area, 6th graders record the high and low temperatures in a table. Students determine and justify the most appropriate graph to display a given set...

Ninth graders identify different sources of renewable and nonrenewable energy. In this math lesson, learners calculate their own carbon footprint based on the carbon dioxide they create daily. They use statistics to analyze data on power...

Class members create a table of the number of chords that can be drawn given the number of points on a circle. Pupils analyze the data created, find a function to fit to it, and use the function to make further predictions.

Upper graders analyze basic concepts about the consumption, importation and exportation of the worlds oil production. They create several graphs to organize the data and draw conclusions about the overall use of oil in the world.

Define terminology related to a circle. Practice accuracy in measuring and then create a spreadsheet based on data collected from solving for parts of a circle. Groups can have fun analyzing their data as it relates to Pi.

Learners study data about tornadoes in the United States while completing a worksheet. They develop a bar graph showing the number of tornadoes for the top ten states in the US. They find the median and mode of the data set.
