Students create a 3D vector field map of an electric field. For this physics lesson, students measure the voltage inside an aquarium with water. They present their findings and map to class..

Sixth graders explore potential and kinetic energy. In this science lesson plan, 6th graders assume the role of a roller coaster engineer and design a roller coaster. Students use their knowledge of kinetic and potential energy to design...

Students use the Live Access Server (LAS) to form maps and a numerical text file of snow cover for each continent on a particular date. They analyze the data for each map and corresponding text file to determine an estimate of snow cover...

Students create their own newspaper after gathering information at the Museum of Natural History's Hall of Biodiversity.

Students are introduced to the importance and usefulness of climographs. In groups, they create a climograph of two cities on about the same latitude. They compare and contrast the locations and climates of the two cities and write a...

Third graders focus on state birds as they learned absolute location (latitude/longitude) of each state, as well as their relative location (bordering states).

Fourth graders participate in a canned food drive.

First graders sort Valentine candies according to kind. Data is inserted into a spreadsheet and displayed in various graphic formats.

Eighth graders research, collect and interpret data about weather statistics. They record that data on spreadsheets. they create Powerpoint presentations on their individual or group research.

Students record data, make observations, and share in experimentation and discussion of numerical experiments.

Students construct their own pendulum. In this physics lesson, students design an experiment to find the factors affecting its period. They formulate a conclusion based on experimental data.

Students collect data from Internet sources to compare age distributions in their city, county or state with that of other places in the US or other countries. They construct and interpret age-structure population pyramids and research...

Young scholars use the internet to find pen pals to share in their weather experiment. Individually, they research the high and low temperatures for cities within the United States and email the results to their pen pal. They also...

Students design an experiment to analyze the timbre of different instruments. In this physics lesson, students analyze the missing quality in sound. They discuss their results in class.

Young scholars experiment with magnets to determine the distances at which they attract and repel each other.

Students distinguish between visualization and scientific visualization. They use the software program Spygalss to create images from two-dimensional arrays of numbers.

Students will learn and reinforce skills for creating, applying and analyzing pie charts, bar graphs and line graphs.

Student use simple data to line up in a living bar graph activity when they respond to simple questions in this lesson plan. They physically and visually represent the data. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.B.3 Draw a scaled picture graph and a...

Second graders review how to make bar graphs, line plots, and pictographs by tallying the contents of snack mix and building graphs to show their data.

A hands-on lesson plan where students compare and analyze data from their graphs.

This lesson will challenge students to think creatively by having them design and build water balloon catchers from random scrap materials, while requiring them to take into consideration a multitude of variables including cost,...

Students love graphing data that they "own". In this plan, the class will select a type of graph and create it using a class survey frequency table. Included in this lesson are videos of the class engaged in the lesson and samples of...

At the end of this instructional activity about graphs, charts, and tables, students will be able to interpret and compare data from graphs (including circle, bar, and line graphs), charts, and tables.

This lesson plan asks students to create a survey project including graphs, questions, tables, and data analysis. It gives an assessment and ideas for remediation and extension as well as ways to manage behavior problems and reluctant...
