In this using decimals and fractions to count classmates worksheet, 5th graders use data from classmates to figure out decimal and fraction ratios.

Students conduct a survey. In this math lesson, students design and conduct a survey about Thanksgiving foods. Students display the collected data in a graph and use the graph to determine what food to serve for a Thanksgiving meal.

Students compare the weathering of different-sized materials. Comparisons are made and data analyzed to reach conclusions about the process of weathering. Applications can be made for the higher grades.

Learners examine samples of common dust from their homes and school under a microscope. Students describe their samples including the location from where they were collected, and compare their samples to make hypotheses about their...

Pupils calculate the total percentage of samples from the data on the graphs. In this marine science instructional activity, students analyze the concentration levels over a period of time. They suggest ways to lessen the effect of these...

Through two investigations, life science learners determine whether or not yeast is alive. They perform tests for metabolism by providing sugar and observing if gas is produced as a byproduct. They incubate some of the sample for at...

Most adults dread April 15 — tax day! Tax preparation can be intimidating even for adults. Build confidence by leading individuals through the process and then give them a scenario to practice. The exercise uses tax vocabulary to give...

Bear with your classes as they explore unit rate and proportions using gummies! Gummy bears come in many different sizes, including a 2,250-gram super bear! The task asks learners to determine how many regular bears and how many mini...

Watch as your pupils' hearts get pumping! An interactive activity has individuals record their heart rates after completing different activities. Each task has a different degree of physical activity. They then graph their results and...

Shoot for a better knowledge of optimization strategies. During the first part of the task, scholars use given basketball shooting percentages for different players to predict the winner by examining systems of inequalities. For the...

Students perform tests on different soil samples. In this earth science lesson, students classify the soil into groups according to test results. They write a lab report following a certain criteria.

Students examine each soil sample and record observations. In this biology lesson, students design an experiment to test soil flow rate. They write a lab report about the experiment.

Students investigate coal samples and analyze its drying loss under controlled conditions. They establish the loss in mass of a sample when heated under controlled conditions of temperature.

Pupils gain a greater understanding of how statistical samples are conducted by taking polls of specific populations. These polls be expressed in graphs, which be compared with the same questions asked of other populations.

Students explore the water qualities in Texas. They evaluate the water quality of six different samples by observing and smelling them. They present a list of the cups that contained good water quality based on their observations. They...

Students demonstrate how the results of a poll or other scientific study can be biased by selecting special types of people to respond or by asking only certain questions.

Learners examine rocks. In this geology lesson, students collect rocks from the schoolyard and classify them by color, weight, and size. Learners use a rock guide to identify each of the rocks.

Second graders graph M & M's by color. For this graphing lesson plan, 2nd graders first predict how many of each color they think are in a handful of M & M's. Then they graph the amounts of each color on a computer program....

Pupils use technology to input, retrieve, organize, manipulate, evaluate, and communicate information; apply appropriate technologies to critical thinking, creative expression, and decision-making skills. They collect and explore data...

Students carry out an experiment to monitor diurnal fluctuations in dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH, and water temperature. They determine the CO2 and pH of the samples (and optionally, dissolved oxygen). Students complete their...

Young scholars list as many examples as they can of sensors in their homes and/or automobiles, define sensor and discuss what qualifies devices as sensors, explore human eyes as sensors while watching teacher demonstration, recognize...

Learners explore the sustainability of our environment, the trend in rising temperatures and the emission of greenhouse cases. Using given data, students test and construct a confidence interval and the difference between two population...

Young scholars investigate soil depth.  In this studying soils lesson, students visit South Penquite Farm and collect samples.  Young scholars record their data and graph results. 

Ninth graders investigate probability through games. In this probability lesson, 9th graders discuss sample space and distribution. They collect and analyze data using graphing.
