Students demonstrate their understanding of the Five-Number Summary and Box-Plots by analyzing different nutrition labels from regular and reduced fat items using graphing calculators.

Learners discuss how numbers increase when exponential growth is occurring. They view a video and compare exponential and linear growth with a graphing calculator.

Students use graphing calculators to graph lines and create tables of values. They perform an experiment using M&M's and slinkys, then create their tables based on their results.

Students, after reading the explanation given below, use FoilSim and a graphing calculator to complete the activity to determine the relationship between airspeed and lift of an object by interpreting data.

Students examine the components of a sonar system. In this physical science lesson students explain how multibeam and sidescan sonar systems are useful to ocean explorers.  Students simulate sonar operations in an activity using a...

Students experiment to discover the relationship between the stretch of a spring and the amount of weight attached to the spring using Skittles. They use a CBR and a graphing calculator to gather data.

Pupils participate in probability experiments and simulations while modeling and solving problems. They examine how to use the random number generator on a graphing calculator using examples from their local hockey teams.
