Effects of Temperature, Deviation on Climate
Pupils collect and record data for a given city. They calculate standard deviation of temperature and analyze the impact of climate changes on a city's and culture.
Curated OER
Observing the Evidence
Fifth graders explore how to do research from a large group. They explore how to choose a representative sample and collect data from it.
Curated OER
Bias in Statistics
Learners work to develop surveys and collect data. They display the data using circle graphs, histograms, box and whisker plots, and scatter plots. Students use multimedia tools to develop a visual presentation to display their data.
Curated OER
Machine Technology
Students work in pairs to manufacture a product for a potential customer. They interview potential customers and collect data. Students develop a customer interview profile. They manufacture drill drift part to customer's specifications...

Graphing
Fifth graders practice using math graphs. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders work in groups to develop a topic of their own to represent as a graph. Students collect data and construct a graph for the lesson.
Curated OER
Dough Lake Topology
Pupils practice coordinates and measurements, develop 2D, 3D topological map, construct grid with string on real surface, establish "level" fixed point for measurements, take and record data points of elevation, and enter data on...
Curated OER
Village Research
Sixth graders research global warming. In this science instructional activity, 6th graders collect data in the Waterton Townsite, Apgar Village and St. Mary area. Students interpret the data and form a hypothesis about global...
Curated OER
Graphing Iron Data
Learners apply a data set to create a graph show how iron ore impacts an ecosystem. They explain how the iron effects the distribution and abundance of phytoplankton in coastal ecosystems using spreadsheet software.
Curated OER
Probability Experiment Simulation: Design and Data Analysis Using a Graphing Calculator
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...
Curated OER
Aerosol Lesson: Science - Graphing SAGE II Data
Young scholars examine and plot atmospheric data on bar graphs.
Curated OER
Graphing Calculator Activity: Multiplying and Dividing Mixed Numbers
In this graphing calculator worksheet, students explore necessary steps to multiply and divide mixed numbers using a graphing calculator. In groups, students measure objects in their classroom and write equations using their collected...
Curated OER
Science: Backyard Bugs Data Collection
Learners practice data collection skills by observing common bugs found in their local environment. Once the data is collected they complete data sheets to compare, contrast, sort, and classify the insects. The lesson plan includes...
Curated OER
Data Collection Project
Students collect data using email. They calculate the mean, median, mode, range and outliers. They create a graph using the data results. They write five paragraphs to summarize their data.
Curated OER
Finding and Collecting in the Field
Middle schoolers examine the types of plants brought over to America from immigrants. They research how some of these types of plants cause damage and alter the landscape. They record data and share the information with the community.
Curated OER
Genetics Lesson
Students investigate the genetic nature of skeletons while collecting data from an Internet site. They read a case study on the Internet and complete the associated activity.

Ozone Data Comparison over the South Pole
Did you know the hole in the ozone is seasonal and filled by January every year? The lesson uses scientific measurements of the ozone over the South Pole to understand patterns. Scholars learn that the hole grew bigger annually before...
Curated OER
Gas Law Investigation
Investigators collect the carbon dioxide produced when an antacid tablet is activated and identify what alteration produced the most gas. They also collect the gas in a buret in order to practice precision. Then they choose between two...
Curated OER
Comparing Pulse Rates
Young scholars participate in a lab that demonstrate one example of how the human body maintains homeostasis. Students collect data from themselves and observe how their own bodies react to exercise.
