Eleventh graders collect data about the state they live in. In this statistics lesson, 11th graders collect and analyze data as they compare themselves to students in other states. They analyze data about a person's education level, and...

Fifth graders interpret data and create graphs. Given Fruit Loops, they sort and classify according to color. Using spreadsheet technology, 5th graders record their data and create bar and circle graphs. Students analyze data and...

Young scholars explore and analyze the bottom structure of underwater habitats. They describe and explain what can't see through the collection and correlation of accurate data. Learners assess that technology is utilized as a tool for...

Students conduct research and use census data to compare different times and places. In this census lesson, students interpret data from charts and graphs, comparing census information from two time periods as well as from two different...

Learners experiment with water, dropper and a coin to study the scientific method. In this scientific method lesson plan, students are in groups, each with a coin, water and a dropper. They investigate how many drops of water can fit on...

In this bluebirds project:  mapping species activity, students create a map based on data for bluebirds in their area, then answer 5 questions about the mapping of the species.  This page has numerous links to helpful web...

Teach how to explore exponential equations.  In this Algebra II lesson, students investigate the graph that occurs as a hot liquid cools.  Students model the data algebraically.

Young scholars research data on African-American emigration, place the data in a chart and create a human movement map. They also create another map using research on current immigration information.

Learners observe the effect "El Nino" left on kelp plants and sea urchins. They analyze the data collected by researchers, by graphing it on a TI calculator. Before graphing and analyzing the data, you may want to revisit the events of...

Learners collect and analyze voltage data. Then, they investigate exponential functions using the TI and a Voltage Probe and graph their data and analyze it using a table.

New skills are developed as young scholars use graphing calculators and ranger technology to capture and graph the sequence of bounces a ball makes when dropped. After recording the height of four or more bounces, they use the collected...

High schoolers measure the flight of a gilder. In this fight of angles lesson, students explore the flight of a glider and measure the distance flown. They collect statistical data of the flights and determine the slope of each flight. ...

High schoolers compare the change in snow and ice over a 10 year period. In this environmental science lesson, students use the live data on the NASA site to study and compare the monthly snow and ice amounts on a map of the entire...

Students analyze data on air pollution in Maryland. They evaluate the effectiveness of government actions to improve air quality. Each group recommends actions that would improve air quality on the federal, state and local level.

Middle schoolers identify how to use a scatterplot to compare two sets of data to determine if they are related. Then they identify and describe the definition of regression line (the "line of best fit"). Students also identify how...

Learners explore the health of aquatic life in this science lesson plan They measure and track the oxygen level in the water to determine the health of the aquatic life. They collect this data using the TI explorer to graph and analyze...

Students learn why the census makes a difference. In this U.S. Census lesson plan, students learn how to read and use a cartogram while they explore new ways to represent data.

Students watch a video about the search for human origins. Using a worksheet, they identify the data trends in height of boys in North America. They discuss the significance of the data and the reasons for the increase of human size.

Students use satellite data to explore sea surface temperature. They explore the relationship between the rotation of the Earth, the path of ocean current and air pressure centers. After studying maps of sea surface temperature and ocean...

Middle schoolers observe and evaluate evidence of Alaska Native cultural symbols and artifacts. They research historical data from a variety of primary resources, including the Harriman expedition journals, related web sites, oral...

Young scholars explore the reaction rates of an enzyme-mediated reaction through experimentation. In small groups, they use everyday objects to demonstrate the effects of environmental variables on enzyme function. Students graph and...

Students evaluate data to determine changes in length of day. They model the revolution of Earth around the sun to show changes in length of day and sun angle and illustrate how the sun angle affects the change of season.

High schoolers organize data from the USA TODAY Snapshot, "Is leisure time really shrinking?" into two scatter plots and determine the quadratic model for each scatter plot. They determine if these graphs intersect and learn the concept...

Students recognize that data represents specific pieces of information about real-world activities, such as the census. In this census lesson, students take a class and school-wide census and construct tally charts and bar graphs to...
