Students study the 'Marine Protected Areas' process.  In this ocean activity students work in groups, conduct research and present it to the class.

High schoolers examine hurricanes. In this web-based meteorology instructional activity, students study the relationship between ocean temperature and hurricane intensity. They differentiate between intensity and frequency of hurricanes.

Students decide whether or not there is or has even been water on Mars. They analyze temperature and pressure data from the Pathfinder mission to Mars, and then they analyze images of Mars, interpreting the landforms they see and...

In this climatographs worksheet, young scholars are given 3 sets of data of the rainfall and temperature for 3 different biomes. Students identify the types of biome for each and answer questions about each. They make 2 graphs to compare...

Seventh graders analyze different types of graphs and answer questions related to each. In this math instructional activity, 7th graders organize a given diagram to make it easier to interpret. They discuss why they made such changes.

Students make observations of their own backyard. In this environment lesson, students keep records of the plants and animals they see in their home or school yard. Students make notes of how the weather and environment changes over...

Students solve the following problem concerning the evolution of seed color in pinto bean plants: "How does natural selection change the frequency of genes or traits over many generations?" They use the constructivist approach to...

Students investigate data collection and analysis.  In this Algebra I lesson, students create a scatter plot and find the equation of best fit in a simulation of a leaking water pipe.

Students graph the data collected on seedling establishment and survival for each soil type over a 6 week period. Each lab group graphs data gathered from one plant. They choose a color for each soil type and create a key for the...

Fifth graders make a graph. In this pulse rate instructional activity, 5th graders estimate their pulse and record it. Students measure their pulse while at rest and after physical activity and record it. Students use the internet to...

Students critically analyze data regarding climate changes using a glossary of terms generated by examination of climate related articles. They examine and graph climatic data, and discuss, hypothesize and test apparent discrepancies in...

Students complete a weather report chart after studying weather patterns for a period of time. In this weather report instructional activity, students measure temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, wind speed, and wind direction for a...

Seventh graders investigate the temperature change in open and closed containers. In this earth science lesson, 7th graders relate this lab activity to greenhouse effect. They create a line graph from data collected in the experiment.

Pupils simulate the interactions between a predator population of lynx and a prey population of rabbits. They collect and graph the data, then extend the graph to predict the populations for several more generations.

Students keep detailed weather records during the fall migration of the monarch butterfly. They compare weather conditions to the days they do and do not see monarchs. As a class, they graph and analyze data and send it to a university...

Students investigate the life cycle of brassica plants. In this science lesson, students observe each stage in the life cycle of their plant. Students record their observations and graph the data. Students

Students recognize different cloud types. They determine the seaonality of various types of clouds. They graph the data and determine if a correlation exists between season, cloud cover and type of clouds most prevalent during each season.

Students explore reaction rates of an enzyme-mediated reaction. They examine the effects of environmental variables on enzyme function. Students collect, graph, and analyze data relating to the reaction.

Students study the relationship between the average global temperature and carbon dioxide emissions.  For this weather lesson students develop a test scenario using a model then read and interpret graphs of data. 

Pupils differentiate between high and low viscosity. Students collect, graph, and interpret data, then quantitatively measure polymer solids. Pupils experiment with a household example of an emulsion polymer.

Students conduct experiments to learn about seed germination. In this seed germination lesson, students write a hypothesis for the seed experiment. students complete the experiment for seed germination and graph the data obtained from...

Middle schoolers apply the steps of the scientific method to an experiment. They complete an instructional activity of scientific inquiry and use a spreadsheet software to create a graph illustrating data gathered.

Students learn that the price of an item is defined by its supply and demand. In this lesson students graph the relationship between demand and supply of various products, students also consider hidden costs.

Second graders explore clouds. They read The Cloud Book by Tomie dePola. Students sort the cloud pictures into three categories. Students create a graph using the cloud pictures. They use Excel to create a bar graph.
