Middle schoolers are introduced to classification and some of the difficulties surrounding classification and how classification systems need to be able to adapt and how they may need to be changed when new information is discovered. ...

Students research and conduct non-experimental research, such as journals, the weather channel and the internet, to collect and record data for analysis on weather conditions in the United States and abroad. They identify, pronounce and...

Young scholars explore graphing. In this graphing lesson, students predict how many shoe eyelets are present in the classroom. Young scholars count eyelets and work in groups to organize and chart the data collected. Students put all the...

Eleventh graders identify, create and solve word problems involving inverse variation. For this algebra lesson, 11th graders solve problems using direct, inverse and joint variation. They identify problems using these methods.

Students read the Constitution and discuss the importance of enumeration. In this Census lesson, students complete a Census schedule and discuss the job skills of applicants. Students research Census data to compare and contrast the...

Students work as a group to research a current issue, articulate the key points relating to the issue and to have data to support those key points, and use appropriate economic theories to help explain the issues arising.

Students collect, organize, and display data using a bar graph, line graph, pie graph, or picture graph. They write a summary describing the data represented and compare the graph to another graph in the class.

Students create a research questions about animal underpasses and how animals use them. In this animals lesson plan, students use their collected data to answer their question.

Pupils investigate graphing. In this graphing lesson, students survey the class and create graphs to reflect the data collected.

First graders learn how to display data using a bar graph. For this bar graph lesson, 1st graders use data from a t-shirt color survey to make a bar graph. They also make an animal bar graph before interpreting the information.

Fifth graders examine line, bar and circle graphs in the newspaper and on the Internet. They complete sketches of graphs with an emphasis on selecting the best model to depict the data collected.

Students carry out the class weather study: recording, organizing and discussing data daily and keeping track of this work in their journals. They look for patterns and relationships in data, link these with what they know and with...

Eighth graders measure foot length and hand span in this experiment to determine the ratio. They apply the ratio to determine Shaquille O'Neal's hand span if given his shoe size.

Eighth graders experiment with building bridges of spaghetti, pennies, and a cup to determine how varying the number of spagetti pieces affects the strength of the bridge. They graph their results and interpret the data.
