Students construct a scattergram graph. In this statistics lesson, students graph data by hand and using a spreadsheet program. They establish lines of best fit and draw conclusions using their graphs.

Students examine graphs to find the most appropriate for various kinds of data.  In this graphing lesson, student create bar, line and circle graphs.  Students create graphs electronically and manually interpreting the data.

Students linearize data to determine if an exponential model is suitable. In this linearizing data to determine if an exponential model is suitable lesson, students graph the residuals of sets of data that appear to have an exponential...

Students identify how to use a scatterplot to compare two sets of data to determine if they are related. Then they identify and describe the definition of regression line (the "line of best fit"). Students also identify how scientists...

Students examine linear equations. In this functions and algebra lesson, students write equations in the slope-intercept form. They enter data in a graphing calculator, examine tables, and write linear equations to match the data.

Students draw an accurate geologic cross section by using a given data table. They relate the features of the cross section to geologic processes. Students then relate the characteristics of the bedrock to the architecture.

Young scholars count, sort, and classify jellybeans by color. They use their data to create a bar graph. Students are given a small bag of jellybeans, and a worksheet on Counting Candies Tally Chart. They work in small groups. Young...

Fifth graders practice interpreting line graphs of the Hudson River water levels to assess the tides and tidal cycles in the estuary. They explore how weather can affect water levels and tides and observe that high tides and low tides...

Students each receive a plastic egg filled with jelly beans. In this Jelly Bean Egg Challenge, students estimate and weight their eggs, they count the number of jelly beans inside their egg, they chart their data and compare their data...

Seventh graders create motion graphs using a motion sensor. In this physics instructional activity, 7th graders match the graph shown by moving their body. They relate the slope to the way they moved.

Students discover the process of finding the mean, median, and mode. Through guided practice and problem solving activities, they use a computer program to input data and create a graph. Graph data is used to calculate the mean,...

If you need an array of worksheets to augment your science lessons, peruse a collection of assignments that is sure to fit your needs. With topics such as metric conversion, the scientific method, textbook features, research skills,...

A plethora of activities make up a cross curricular choice page filled with math games—relay races, dice, and crossword puzzles—a survey challenge equipped with data organization, graphing, a quicksand recipe, Hula-Hoop activity to...

Students analyze and interpret graphs. For this graphing lesson, students view a video and construct their own graphs (line, circle, bar) from given sets of data. 

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.

In this statistics learning exercise, students locate and identify various vocabulary terms related to mathematics and statistics. There are seven words located in the puzzle to find.  

Seventh graders explore bar graphs and pie charts. Given a pack of M&Ms, 7th graders explore the colors, sort the data in a frequency chart and then construct bar graphs and pie charts to categorize the M&Ms by color. Students...

Even though this assignment is brought to you by Physics Lab Online, it is best used as a math practice. Middle schoolers calculate the range, mean, mode, and median for a list of eight different paper clip densities. They analyze...

Sixth graders record the weight of themselves and 3 family over a week, and then use that data to compile 2 bar graphs and 4 line graphs and answer a series of questions.

Students explore circles using a graphing calculator. In this circles lesson, students write the equation of a circle with a given center and radius length. Students find the most appropriate model for each combination of data they...

Students explore graphs and define the different ways they are used to display data. In this algebra lesson plan, students collect data and plot their data using the correct graph. They draw conclusions from their graphs based on their...

In this slope of a line worksheet, students read about line graphs and plotting the slope of a line. They read about the rate of change which is represented by the slope. Students practice finding the slope of lines.

Students explore change represented in graphs comparing distance and time. They exchange and share their graphs. Students interpret and create distance versus time line-graphs, and write stories based on these graphs. They interpret a...
