Students analyze height and collect data to create a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to analyze their data and make predictions. They apply concept of statistics to other areas of academics to make a...

Students create graphs comparing the amount of snow cover along selected latitudes using data sets from a NASA website. They create a spreadsheet and a bar graph on the computer, and analyze the data.

Students gather statistical information on a chosen topic and place it into a spreadsheet. Using th Excel chart wizard, students create tables, graphs and charts of their information. They interpret the data and share it with the class.

Students calculate the distance and velocity over time. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph a linear function to represent the distance vers time travel. They interpret their graphs and draw conclusion.

Students organize and interpret data using bar graphs.

Fourth graders interpret the weather data they gathered in Investigation 6. They take an average of each component in each season. They compare the same components of each season and write the differences they see between the seasons.

More people, more garbage! Young environmentalists graph population growth against the amount of garbage generated per year and find a linear model that best fits the data. This is an older resource that could benefit from more recent...

Teen-aged scientists analyze a graphic organizer of how trash is removed from New York City and then answer standard questions about a graph and a diagram. Resources are mentioned, but there are no links to these resources, so you will...

Students study the functional relationships of a variety of problems. For this functional relationship lesson, students determine the dependent and independent quantities of a given set of data. Students record the data and...

Students explore solids, liquids, and gases. In this states of water lesson, students conduct a scientific investigation that requires them to observe and note the differences among solid, liquids, and gases.

Young scholars interpret a variety of motion graphs. In this physics lesson, students calculate the speed and acceleration of objects using numerical data from graphs. They apply what they have learned to solve real world problems.

Young scholars gather high and low temperature readings through email. In this temperature graphing lesson, students use a spreadsheet to input data for a graph. young scholars interpret the graphs to compare and contrast the data from...

Learners study world events and their effect on economic growth. They research and interpret graphs to determine explanations for economic growth. Students compare the World Wars and the Great Depression to the growth of Argentina and...

Students make a graph. In this weather instructional activity, students fill in a KWL chart about different types of weather. Students watch a PowerPoint presentation about weather and natural disasters and where these types of weather...

Students use satellite data to explore sea surface temperature. They explore the relationship between the rotation of the Earth, the path of ocean current and air pressure centers. After studying maps of sea surface temperature and ocean...

For this describing trends worksheet, students read information about broadcast TV plus cable and satellite TV, observe an annual use of the media graph and describe the trends. Kids also read a text about advertising, interpret a graph,...

Upper graders examine the concept of probability. They collect data and create a bar graph. They must interpret the data as well. Everyone engages in hands-on games and activities which lead them to predict possible outcomes for a...

Students analyze the nutritional value of breakfast cereal in order to make an informed choice. They create a stem and leaf plot which analyzes the nutritional value of the cereal they eat on a regular basis. Students write a letter to...

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.

Eighth graders experiment with building bridges of spaghetti, pennies, and a cup to determine how varying the number of spagetti pieces affects the strength of the bridge. They graph their results and interpret the data.

Students read graphs and charts to interpret results. In this algebra activity, students interpret bar, line and pictographs. They draw conclusions and make predicitons based on these charts.

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

Fourth graders use data from volcanoes to organize a spreadsheet and make a graph.

If the Greenland ice sheet melted, sea levels would rise by about 20 ft; if the Antarctic ice sheet melted, sea levels would rise by 200 ft. Scholars explore ice melting through the analysis of different ice samples, clean and dirty ice....
