Students, while in the computer lab, assess how to use Microsoft Excel as a "graphing calculator." They view visual representations of line graphs in a Cartesian plane while incorporating basic skills for using Excel productively.

Students collect data, use a computer spreadsheet program to create various graphs, and compare the graphs. They state the findings of each graph in writing and decide which graph type best represents the data.

Learners observe the effect "El Nino" left on kelp plants and sea urchins. They analyze the data collected by researchers, by graphing it on a TI calculator. Before graphing and analyzing the data, you may want to revisit the events of...

Students explore parabolas.  In this algebra and technology lesson, students construct the equation of a specific parabola, then take digital photos of real-life representations of these parabolas.  Students create a podcast...

Sixth graders create and use a spreadsheet to make graphs which will be used to analyze Progress Report and Final Report Card grades. They practice finding the mean, median, mode, and range of a data set. Students also incorporate column...

Students create graphs using information from spreadsheets. They select a topic from the following choices: website use, digital cameras, spreadsheets, calculators or educational software. They tally the class results and create an...

Students make a table on the computer, but create fractions and equivalent fractions through the use of color. They are able to manipulate fractions in order to gain a greater understanding of the meaning of whole number that is broken...

Fourth graders view CD ads and create a chart about an imaginary CD purchase.  In this CD lesson, 4th graders calculate various cost connected with the CD's at the regular price and on sale. Students write a paragraph about the...

Students investigate the human circulatory system by experimenting with hoses.  In this human body activity, students create a system of hoses simulating the circulatory system which they utilize to pass objects through....

Students identify the different types of measurements used in industry. In this technology lesson plan, students investigate how much power CEENBoT has. They collect data and graph results.

Students run a computer simulation. They collect data as they work and use the data to create an annual report for their business. Several different simulations could be used for this project. It is desirable for students to do this...

Learners research sea life using laptop computers. In this sea life lesson, students participate in a field trip to the beach and enter observations into their laptop computers. Learners classify shells and sea life.

Students examine the relationship between probability and geometry to solve problems. In this geometry and probability lesson, students investigate the effect of changing percentages on a spinner to the probability of landing on a...

Student and compare the three types of friction. In this physics lesson, learners determine the coefficient of friction using the CEENBoT. They investigate how friction changes as the angle of the incline changes.

Learners use the internet to research problems related to space. They complete a questionaire to direct their research before beginning. They create a database of moon and planet characteristics.
