Third graders display information in a graph, table, and chart. In this data lesson plan, 3rd graders look at graphs, tables, and charts, discuss their importance, and make their own.

Seventh graders model radioactive decay using pennies, collect data from their model, apply scientific visualization techniques to their data and create animated models explaining the concept of radioactive half-life.

Students receive balloons representing the "Life Cycle of the Stars." As the attached script is read, students follow the directions for the color of balloon they are given. Students chart the results for their star. They plot data from...

High schoolers investigate temperature and pressure with simple laboratory equipment. They use a handheld with sensors and probes to study temperature and pressure. Students explore the nature of gases with respect to temperature and are...

Students collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra lesson plan, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph provided the...

Fifth graders identify a set of data from a real world problem. In this statistics instructional activity, 5th graders identify the range, mode, median and mean using some manipulatives. They write words randomizing the letters.

Middle schoolers experience a hands-on environmental science project. They access about recycling as they collect data on their own family's trash production. Students analyze the data with worksheets, chart the data, and present their...

Students calculate weathering rates from tombstone weathering data. Atmospheric (and precipitation) chemistry determines the rate of weathering for marble tombstones. They are shown data from a rural and an unrban cemetery, and are...

Twelfth graders explore the Earth's radiation budget using Earth radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) data archived at the IRI/LDEO Climate Data Library. They use photometers and light sources to work through several hands-on activities...

Seventh graders use the scientific method, to observe, record and analyze the data they gathered. They make observations using their five senses. Students compare, contrast and draw conclusions based on the observations and data...

In this mean, median and mode worksheet, students problem solve and calculate the answers to ten word problems associated with the mean, median and mode of collected data.

In these word frequency worksheets, students choose a page from a newspaper and count the number of letters in each word and complete their results in a table. Students then calculate the mean number of letters. Students then collect...

Students investigate line graphs.   In this middle school mathematics lesson plan, students compare and contrast different types of graphs and create line graphs based on the data provided.

Second graders use colored candies to collect data, construct double bar graphs, and find averages.

High schoolers set up a stream table, observe erosion, and record data on where various sizes of sediments settle. They draw conclusions as to what kind of sedimentary rock form in what locations.

Students observe and identify the types of simple machines. They conduct research and gather data to increase the comprehension of simple machines. Students identify and comprehend data to complete a graphic organizer and focus...

High schoolers collect data from mealworms. In this science and math lesson plan, students gain an understanding of collecting metric data using mealworms.

Students investigate normal distribution.  In this statistical analysis lesson students investigate the variety of circumstances in which the normal distribution can be used.  Students apply the normal distribution to solve...

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

Students define mean, median, mode and outliers. In this statistics lesson, students analyze data using the central tendencies. They follow a path through a maze collecting data. They analyze the data using the mean, median and mode.

Learners determine the coefficient of friction for different surfaces. In this physics lesson plan, students identify the factors that affect friction. They collect data and write a formal lab report.

Students create original survey questions, and develop a bar graph of the data on paper. They input the survey data using two variables onto an Excel bar graph spreadsheet.

Students investigate water conservation. In this water conservation lesson plan, students list the uses for water and record their water usage for one day. Students graph the data and create a water conservation poster.

Students encounter the complexity of identifying the cause of unusual variations in WOW conductivity data. They propose theories on why there was a sudden increase in conductivity in Ice Lake, Minnesota during July of 1998.
