In this activity, studens will use different types of weather gauges and track the local weather for a week. After the week is over, students will collect their samples, analyze the data, and compare their conclusions to local weather...

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

Students form a conclusion using statistical data. In this statistical data lesson, students collect and analysis data to form a conclusion about what day of the week most babies are born.

Students calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this probability lesson, students differentiate between independent, dependent or compound events. They find the range of the data.

Students explain how to use a light microscope, describe how to care for a microscope, and solve a forensic science problem, using a microscope to analyze data and draw conclusions.

High schoolers articulate differences between climate and weather using examples in a written statement. Using climate data from across the country, they describe climate patterns for various parts of the United States on a map. Students...

Fourth graders use data from the real estate guide to find the range, mode, median, and mean of a sampling of homes for sale in their area.

Students survey and dissect as many fish as possible. They count nematodes, cestodes and crustaceans on the fish, fill out autopsy reports, and transfer data to a chalkboard data table. Students graph the results of the entire class...

Here are the instructions for leading your advanced chemists though the process of measuring the nonvolatile components in a sample of paint. No student handout is provided, so you may want to create one based on the procedure explained....

Lost an electron? You should keep an ion them. Young chemists learn qualitative analysis in the second lesson plan of an 11-part chemistry series. After observing reactions of simple salts, the teacher provides pupils with unknown...

Plankton are so abundant in the ocean they outweigh all of the animals in the sea. In this three day activity, groups discuss and become familiar with plankton, capture females, and look for egg production on day three. 

Fifth graders use data from an Excel document to analyze and predict trends in batting averages.

Students explore the characteristics of a pure sound wave produced by a tuning fork. They use sine waves to find a curve to fit the sound wave data produced by the tuning fork. A CBL and microphone is required for this activity.

Eighth graders determine the presence of starch and sugar in unknown solutions. This task assesses students' abilities to observe, record and interpret data, classify, generalize/infer, construct data tables, and identify sugar and...

Second graders collect data by spinning two spinners and creating sums, organize the data, and make conclusions from the data. Each students makes a spinner. They spin and record the number of the section each time. Students work in...

Pupils explore and explain how moon snails eat and where the holes in clamshells come from and then draw conclusion from the data collected. They incorporate math and graphing skills to determine if there is a relationship to a clam's...

Students group observed data, filtering from all their observations the similarities between burring threads. In the second part they make a comparison of a chosen attribute between the two threads.

Students generate a radioactive decay table for an imaginary element, use their data to plot a decay graph, develop the concept of half-life, and use the graph to "age" several samples.

At some point, everyone has been under pressure—even Dalton! Explore Dalton's law of partial pressures with young chemists as they measure the volume of air extracted from a sample compared to its original volume. Class...

Students collect data on causes of Acid Rain. In this science lesson, students simulate the effects that produce acid rain, collect and analyze data from their samples. They relate science and statistics in this lesson.  

Students develop problem solving, decision-making and inquiry skills by planning experiments. They conduct systematic observations, interpret and analyze data and draw conclusions then communicate their results.

Eighth graders determine the amount of agitation necessary to dissolve various sized sugar particles. This task assess students' abilities to collect, organize, and interpret data, create appropriate graphs, predict future events based...

Students interpret a graph of ocean depths and topographic features. This task assesses students' abilities to interpret figures, organize and represent data, apply knowledge of scale to a profile, and apply theoretical knowledge.

Students employ statistics to solve real-world problems. They collect, organize and describe data. They make inferences based on data analysis. They construct, read, and interpret tables, charts and graphs.
