Students gather high and low temperature readings through email. In this temperature graphing lesson, students use a spreadsheet to input data for a graph. students interpret the graphs to compare and contrast the data from different...

Students determine the relationship between leg length, stride length, and speed in humans and bipedal dinosaurs. They collect data and graph these human characteristics then use actual data collected from dinosaur track pads and fossils...

Second graders explore biology. In this life cycle lesson, 2nd graders act out the stages a caterpillar goes through to become a butterfly. They spend days prior to this lesson observing caterpillars they have collected and developing...

Third graders engage in a read-aloud of the book, "Lemonade for Sale." They collect data from the story and turn the data into a mathematical graph. This lesson has a rubric for you and the students to follow-very creative lesson.

Fifth graders recognize the need to follow the scientific method carefully and be aware of variables in experiments.  In this airplane lesson, 5th graders design and test an airplane, and complete a data sheet. Students retest five...

Students research and collect data regarding temperature changes for a specific location and find the mean, median, and mode for their data. In this climate change lesson, students choose a location to research and collect data regarding...

Students conduct experiments and collect data to determine physical and chemical characteristics of acids and bases.

Fifth graders participate in a review discussion of the parts of a lever, resistance or load, fulcrum, and effort. Next, they complete activities at six experiment stations while collecting data that they share with the class. While...

Second graders examine different types of graphs and discover the meanings of the symbols used on them. After gathering data about themselves, their communities, and the world, they use that information to create graphs. Among the...

Students gather data about the weather in Nome, Alaska. In this Nome Temperature lesson plan, students create an excel graph to explore the weather trends in Nome.  Students will find the average weather and add a trend line to...

Young scholars participate in a scavenger hunt and a drawing activity to examine the use of Global Positioning Systems including a handheld GPS receiver for personal navigation. They practice using the GPS receivers while collecting data...

Students plant a garden and keep track of it. In this geometrical garden lesson, students collect data from their garden twice a week. They graph their finding and figure out how many square feet of growing space each person needs...

Learners collect data regarding fire safety and create a graph. Working in small groups, they administer a survey to family and friends regarding their attitudes toward fire safety. After data has been gathered, students graph their...

Fourth graders study the planets of our Solar System collecting data on a worksheet. They use online tools to create a puzzle or other digital product using the information from their research.

Students investigate the predator and prey relationship. This is done using a simple simulation. The simulation is done as an arts and craft activity. Students record data and track it using a graphic organizer and then they discuss the...

Students investigate measuring angles correctly through projectiles. In this geometry instructional activity, students launch a projectile to investigate the importance of how to measure an angle correctly and to explore trajectory....

Students collect data, graph it and analyze it. In this statistics lesson, students plot their data and calculate the mean, median and mode explaining how it relates to the data. They define the ways to find the mean, median and mode.

Students observe the effect of croos contamination as they inoculate orange juice with penicillin mold from the refrigeration lab and active yeast solution from the sterilization lab. They experience a simulation of passing bacteria...

Students explore graphs and define the different ways they are used to display data. In this algebra activity, students collect data and plot their data using the correct graph. They draw conclusions from their graphs based on their data.

Students, in groups, observe, collect data, and analyze mammal behaviors.

Students explore interaction between mathematics, science, and technology as they look at process of researching, developing, testing, and evaluating airplane design. They calculate glide ratio for model paper airplane by using data...

Students explore various approaches to solving a problem of maximizing the total production of apples in an orchard. In this apple orchard lesson, students collect data in order to solve the apple orchard problem presented. Students plot...

Fourth graders investigate when to find the mean, median, mode and range.  In this statistical concepts lesson, 4th graders collect data, make observations and graph the data. Students verify their work on the computer.

Students conduct an experiment to determine the temperature tolerance of yeasts. In this biology lesson, students collect data and compare them by plotting graphs. They explain how extreme temperatures affect organisms.
