Students determine the mass of various "dinosaur eggs" and graph their data. In this mass, weight, data and graphing lesson plan, students measure the mass of different weighted "dinosaur eggs". They record their data and transfer it to...

Learners research the solar cycle. In this Science lesson, students use the internet to investigate the solar cycle. Learners produce a spreadsheet and graph from the information collected.

Learners are presented with the question: "Do longer legged people run faster than shorter legged people?" Students conduct an experiment, collect their data, create box and whisker plots using a computer and graphing program, and...

Students create and conduct a survey. In this broken bones lesson, students discuss if they've ever broken a bone and how a broken bone heals. Students generate questions for a survey on broken bones and healing time, conduct the survey...

Young scholars investigate the skin surface to body area ratios for different animals.  In this seventh/eighth grade mathematics/science lesson, students explore heat transfer between an animal’s body and the environment. ...

Class members publish a letter describing their Virtual Field Trip incorporating data from previously developed charts, graphs, and data tables. The final lesson in a series devoted to collecting information and publishing data.

Students collect and analyze data.  In this middle school mathematics/science lesson, students collect temperature reading over a 24 hour period.  Students analyze the data for mean, median, maximum and minimum.

Students determine the difference between guessing and making a prediction. They discuss what they could graph using a bag of M&M's. They take a Raw data sample and convert it into a sample. They graph the actual results and combine...

Students begin a class recycling project. They create data sampling equipment using their own designs and test them in the field.

Students develop number sense up to a million.  In this developing number sense up to a million instructional activity, students count their breaths in given time span.  Students use blocks representing 10's and 100's to create...

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.

Students graph fruit. In this graphing lesson students create a graph using fruit label stickers. Students place a sticker on the graph when the fruit has been consumed.

Pupils create their own definition of life. They identify the eight characteristics of life in organisms. They compare and contrast the characteristics of living and nonliving things.

For this bar graphs worksheet, pupils, working with a partner, explore how to read and analyze the five answers to one mathematical bar graph.

Sixth graders explore the uses of a trundle wheel. In this units of measurement lesson, 6th graders use trundle wheels to measure distances.

Young scholars explore plants and the scientific method. In this plant growth lesson, students follow the steps in the scientific method to perform a seed germination experiment as a whole class. Young scholars work in a group to create...

Students sort and categorize different types of boxes and cartons. For this sorting lesson, students designate areas of the room to put different sizes, styles, or colors of boxes. They help their teacher count and graph the different...

Future weather forecasters collect daily temperatures over a period of time. Afterward, they compare their data with monthly averages, as researched on national weather websites, in order to grasp the difference between weather and...

Investigate the relationship between height and arm span. Young statisticians measure the heights and arm spans of each class member and create a scatter plot using the data. They draw a line of best fit and use its slope to explain the...

Scholars apply prior knowledge of statistics to write a conclusion. They summarize using correct academic language and tell the story of the data.

The way you use statistics can tell different stories about the same set of data. Here, learners use sets of data to determine which person sends the most text messages. They use random sampling to collect their data and calculate a...

Use measures of variance to compare and analyze data sets. Pupils match histograms of data sets to their respective statistical measures. They then use calculated statistics to further analyze groups of data and use the results to make...
