Young scholars analyze the graph of a distribution. In this statistics activity, students define skewed or mound shape distribution as they investigate the data behind the graph. They define and plot outlier as well as normal probability.

High schoolers log their computer usage hours. They determine the mean, median, mode and standard deviation of the collected data. They make a frequency histogram of the grouped data, both on graph paper, and on the TI 83+ graphing...

Students define normal distribution as it relates to the bell curve. In this statistics lesson, students use the central tendencies of mean, median and mode to solve problems. They plot their data and draw conclusion from the graphs.

Pupils find the mean, median and mode. In hs statistics instructional activity, students collect, plot and analyze data. The identify the effect the central tendency have on the data and line.

How does the shell color of crabs and the habitat they live in impact the predator-prey relationship? The fourth lesson in a series of five is a game where participants try not to get eaten if they are a prey and try to eat if they are...

Students experience the development of statistical data. In groups, they construct a survey questionnaire for a target audience. Students produce the questionnaire, distribute it, collect it, and tabulate the data. Using EXCEL, the...

Young scholars investigate data about age, and sex of a population. In this statistics lesson, students are given data on a population to analyze and compare to other provinces. This assignment is part of a geography lesson and requires...

High schoolers compile data on population distribution and develop survivorship curves using information from cemetery tombstones and obituaries. They develop inferences on the changes in population age distribution in their area over time.

Students describe the pattern of a bell curve graph. In this statistics lesson, students move data around and make observation about the mean, and the quartiles. They define boxplot, outlier, range and other important vocabulary words...

Students play a game in which they simulate the interactions between a predator, lynx, and a prey, rabbit. Students collect data on the interactions, graph data, and make predictions for populations of several more generations.

Students simulate the interactions between a predator population of lynx and a prey population of rabbits. They collect and graph the data, then extend the graph to predict the populations for several more generations.

Eighth graders produce and examine two sets of data and create what they believe to be the most appropriate graphs to represent these sets of data. After completing the pre-assessment, they discuss reasons for using each type of graph...

Students use the Live Access Server (LAS) to form maps and a numerical text file of snow cover for each continent on a particular date. They analyze the data for each map and corresponding text file to determine an estimate of snow cover...

Students explore different methods of taking surveys and conducting polls and examine these methods for bias. They design and administer a sample survey, analyze the data and present their findings to the class.

Students read and record temperatures and display the data. They represent the temperatures on an appropriate graph and explain completely what was done and why it was done. Students display the data showing differences in the daily...

Pupils visit a selected web site and search answers to given questions. They investigate census data for a several states. They explore data such as business, geography, and people. Students demonstrate ways to navigate through a...

Students are introduced to a variety of easily accessible data about poverty. The search activity performs double-duty in exposing students to the nature and magnitude of world poverty and in confronting them with different types and...

Explore graphical representation of a real-life data set and determine the exponential regression model for the data in your classroom. Students also compare the estimated value to the given value by determining the percent error.

Fifth graders interpret data. For this mode and range lesson, 5th graders define mode and range and practice finding them given a set of data.

Pupils analyze data to make hypotheses and conclusions regarding the predator/prey relationship between moon snail and surf clams.

Students review and analyze graphs and tables as a group. They develop their graph and data analysis skills by converting data tables from Human Activity and the Environment into graphs.

Students explore earthquake activity in California. They observe the historical data and create databases and graphs of the earthquakes. Students analyze the data and form a hypothesis about future earthquakes.

Students research newspapers and the Internet to learn about the election. Students work in groups and choose a state that they want to compare to Florida. Students organize the data they have found into a graph labeling an "x" and "y"...

Students interpret data regarding food choices and the perceived body image of youth in the world. In this personal health lesson, students compare food consumption patterns in Canada with other countries. Students also compare lifestyle...
