Students receive bloodstain pattern evidence from a crime scene. They answer a series of questions through inquiry, observation, measurement, and analysis. Pupils complete this challenge, by reconstructing the evidence through four...

Students practice in analyzing spatial data in maps and graphic presentations while studying the distribution of fossil fuel resources. They study, analyze, and map the distribution of fossil fuels on blank maps. Students discuss gas...

In an age of inflamed politics, who votes, who doesn't vote, and why are the questions everyone is trying to answer. Pupils listen to scholars, journalists and data crunchers on voting statistics to make their own conclusions. A chart...

Everything you need for a mini-unit on bar graphs is included in this lesson plan! It outlines three lessons and includes worksheets. Learners taste pretzels, shoot baskets (switching off hands), and grab candy, graphing results...

Some of the CO2 emitted by burning fossil fuels is removed from the atmosphere by natural sinks, such as the ocean. The fifth engaging lesson in the series of 21 examines the CO2 data from three very different locations. It then makes a...

"Creativity is just connecting things." - Steve Jobs. After weeks of researching climate change, the ninth lesson in a series of 21 combines the data and analysis to address essential questions. It covers natural phenomenon, human...

Currently, only 2.1% of global warming is felt on continents, while over 93% is felt in the oceans. The fourth lesson in the series of 21 on global warming is composed of three activities that build off one another. In the first...

This is the grown-up version of the classic "float an egg in salt water" experience, plus an experiment in soap making. High schoolers explore density, but more importantly, practice accuracy, precision, and the use of significant...

Here is a fitting question for middle schoolers to consider: Is there a relationship between grade point average and frequency of sending texts? Starting statisticians examine a scatter plot and discuss any patterns seen.

A truly hands-on and inquiry based learning activity bridges all the lessons in the series together. Beginning with a discussion on average global temperatures, young meteorologists use real-world data to analyze climate trends in order...

"Humans have become a geologic agent comparable to erosion and [volcanic] eruptions ..." Paul J. Crutzen, a Nobel Prize-winning atmospheric chemist. Using Landsat imagery, scholars create a grid showing land use type, such as urban,...

Students concentrate on discrete quantiative data. They are shown that the vertical line diagram as a more appropriate way to present discrete quantiative data then bar charts. Students work as a group to help with the interpretation...

Students, review the techniques and different types of data analysis as well as how they are expressed, identify why facts and data are needed in conclusion of a questionnaire. The concepts of qualitative and quantitative data are...

Students construct data tables using the results of previous experiments. In this graphing instructional activity, students plot data and interpret the results. Students discuss how they organized their data.

Students analyze data representing real life scenarios.In this algebra instructional activity, students collect, plot and analyze data using a graph. They use different methods to represent and present their data.

Students collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson plan, students graph their data and make inferences from the collected data. They display their data using graphs, bar graphs, circles graphs and Venn diagrams.

Students engage in an experiment that tests how much air we breathe in and out during the respiration process. For this respiration lesson, students blow a typical breath's amount of air into a balloon. They use a ruler to measure the...

Learners explore the concept of collecting, analyzing, and graphing data. In this collecting, analyzing, and graphing data lesson, students create a survey about a topic of interest. Learners poll their classmates, analyze, and graph...

Students analyze different data in percentage form. In this statistics lesson, students plot data using box-plots, dotplot, and histogram. They compare and contrast the collected data using the boxplot.

Students discover data sampling. In this science lesson plan, students explore data sampling and turn the data collected into useful information by making graphs and using them to solve problems.

Students explore human anatomy by graphing scientific data. In this vision lesson, students discuss how ophthalmology works and take their own eye assessment test using the Snellen chart. Students collect vision data from all of their...

Students solve real life scenarios using math. In this geometry instructional activity, students collect, predict and interpret data. They measure a chair using different measurements and choose what would make the chair the best design.

Fifth graders make a graph and write an essay to interpret the data of birds that take advantage of habitats near rice farms. In this data lesson plan, 5th graders calculate the information given to them and interpret it in an essay form.

Third graders collect shoe size data from classmates in their room and another third grade. They predict what the most common shoe size will be. They place the data in an spreadsheet on the computer. They design a graph using the...
