Students discover the different stages of mitosis by examining onion roots under a microscope, drawing diagrams of what they see, and organizing collected data in a chart and create a pie graph from their lab data.

Eighth graders write their name however they see fit on a poster board. Individually, they write down their strengths that relate to them making important decisions around their name. To end the lesson, they use magazines to find...

Students explore the concept of using consumer data and statistics to aid in the consumer decision making process. In this consumer data and statistics instructional activity, students research consumer data and statistics. Students...

Young scholars investigate data on temperature, pressure, and humidity by downloading information from the ARM Website. Working in groups, they discover how weather impacts life in each of the ARM sites. They record weather data in their...

Fifth graders study how to measure distance.  In this graphing motion lesson students complete a lab activity that shows them on the computer how to make graphs. 

Fourth graders discover the appropriate way to construct and analyze bar, line, picto, and circle graphs. They set up frequency tables and perform some statistical analysis (mean, median, and mode) on their data.

Twelfth graders collect the data of the leading economic indicators over the last six months and create graphs plotting the data. They analyze/evaluate the data collected in order to predict economic trends for the next six month period.

Students interpret and create different types of graphs. They analyze data from charts, develop a survey and design appropriate graphic illustrations and make a presentation.

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.

Students practice graphing by studying biomes.  In this precipitation instructional activity, students graph the precipitation patterns for the 7 biomes on Earth.  Students view a PowerPoint presentation in class which explores...

Young scholars use given information on wind speed with the quadratic formula to determine the pressure of the wind on a building. In this quadratic equations activity, students compute the pressure of the wind from two data tables. They...

Students explore the Ohio census numbers in 1990 and 2000. In this social studies lesson, students use the census data to answer questions.

Seventh graders read and follow the instructions on the worksheet. They make a table of their results. Students use about 100 cm^3 of water and ice mixture. They heat the water/ice with a Bunsen burner. Temperature is recorded every 30...

Students explore for water on Mars using impact crater morphology. During this lab, students: investigate how to use the equation writing and graphing capabilities in Microsoft Excel, then develop and apply an impact crater...

Young scholars participate in a JAVA activity to vary the seismic P and S wave velocity through each of four concentric regions of Earth. They match "data" for travel times vs. angular distance around Earth's surface from the source to...

Students calculate the maximum and minimum of each function. In this algebra instructional activity, students collect and graph data to analyze it. They differentiate between the absolute max and min and the maxima and minima of each...

Pupils work in groups to create a graph on a coordinate grid. In this graphing lesson plan, students analyze data and put it into their graph by plotting points.

Students investigate mixtures made of water and familiar solid materials. They observe and discuss the changes that occur immediately and set the mixtures aside for a day. Finally, students observe the mixtures, note changes, and graph...

Students complete a unit of lessons on ecosystems. They participate in online activities, create a diorama, write journal entries, and develop a Hyperstudio multimedia project on a selected ecosystem.

Students make a box and whiskers plot using the TI-73 graphing calculator. Each student would have their own calculator but they would work in small groups of two or three to help each other enter the data and make the plots.

Students explore measurement by measuring classmates' heads. They record their measurements and they put the measurements in order from smallest to largest. Students figure the mean, median, mode, maximum, minimum, and range of their...

Students examine different objects. In this appearance lesson, students watch a video about translucent, transparent and opaque objects. Students work in pairs to examine a bag of objects and then discuss the results.

Students gather data on top 10 highest grossing movies, and make a bar graph and a pictogram.

Students graph lines in a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students graph lines on a coordinate plane, and identify the slope. They calculate the volume, area and perimeters of the shapes created on a coordinate plane.
