Fourth graders interpret a graph and make correlations using data. After taking a class survey, 4th graders create a class graph of their favorite planets. Working in small groups, they interpret the information and create at least ten...

Students investigate how to estimate the age and size of turtles, and examine variability in scientific data. They read an informational handout, identify the parts of the shell, measure the shell and estimate the age, and record the...

Eighth graders decide if the length of a viewing tube, its diameter, or the distance from an object affects the type of data collected and the resulting graph through a series of experiments.

Looking for an excellent lesson that incorporates math, science, and technology? Groups of three learners use a viewing tube to perform an experiment, and discover how to organize their data into an Excel spreadsheet.  This is a...

Students collect bird count data at their sites, and share and compare the data collected from two different schoolyards using computer technology.

Investigate the meaning of a sample proportion using this hands-on activity. Scholars collect data and realize that the larger the sample size the more closely the data resembles a normal distribution. They compare the sample proportion...

There's just something special about lines in algebra. Introduce your classes to linear equations by analyzing the linear relationship. Young mathematicians use input/output pairs to determine the slope and the slope-intercept formula to...

Scholars shake their way to understanding half-life with the help of candy. They observe and record which side candy lands on to graph the exponential decay in the fifth lesson of seven integrating chemistry and algebra. Combining...

How are forces and motion important to a swing set? Scholars explore the concepts of force and motion using swing sets. In preparation for their own STEM design project, individuals take surveys and data from peers, complete labs on...

Middle schoolers 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.

Fifth graders construct data graphs based upon sets of data. In this graphing lesson plan, 5th graders read the text If the World Were a Village and discuss how types of graphs accurately represent a large population. Students construct...

Eighth graders use M&M's to experiment with data. They use a graphing calculator to determine the best equation for their data; linear, quadratic or exponential. They analyze the data to find the half-life of their M&M's.

Students manipulate and interpret data. They are given a dataset from a described experiment and interpret the data. A "How to Sheet for graphing" is included in lesson plan.

In this line graph learning exercise, students analyze the data on a graph about toy-related injuries by year. Students solve 5 problems in which the change in injuries per year is calculated and recorded on a table.

In this math worksheet, students try to fit a line to a set of data. Then they use the least squares method is based on minimizing the sum of the squares of the errors.

Students research inventions that have been created. In this historical technology instructional activity, students read the Harcourt Brace social studies textbook and discuss how inventors used graphs to display data. Students create a...

Learners identify function using tables of data. In this algebra lesson, students create a tale of point and plot on a coordinate plane. They analyze the graph as being a function or not.

Students investigate motion using a CBL. In this algebra activity, students collect and graph data on a coordinate plane. They define and identify amplitude and period of conic graphs.

Students use the tools of data analysis for managing information. They solve problems by generating, collecting, organizing, displaying histograms on bar graphs, circle graphs, line graphs, pictographs and charts. Students determine...

Seventh graders identify the different graphs used in science. In this graphing lesson, 7th graders analyze the three kinds of graphs. They construct a graph that best describes a given data.

Students actively find the line of best fit. They gather their own data and then use a calculator to find the line of best fit, as well as the equation. They see how to use the TI 81 calculator in order to find the line of best fit.

Students identify different types of functions and units of measurements. In this statistics instructional activity, students will collect data, graph their data and make predictions about their data. They plot a linear regression...

In this word maze worksheet, students navigate through the word snake. They start at the arrow and find the first word, moving across or down like a snake. The second word follows on immediately from the first. Students write the 8 words...

Students practice creating bar graphs using a given set of data. Using the same data, they create a group frequency chart and histograms. They must decide the best graph for the given set of data. They share their graphs with the...
