Students graph and analyze data using a spreadsheet.

Students investigate maps and data to learn about the connections between hurricanes and climate. For this exploratory lesson students describe and graph the 6 regions where hurricanes happen and discuss how hurricanes have changed over...

Pupils engage in the practice of creating a scatter plot with the data obtained from measuring different resting heart rates. The data is used to create the table that is translated into a graph. The lesson gives instructions for the use...

Students download information from a NASA website into a database. They transfer it to a spreadsheet by completing the information and analyze the information. They determine temperature averages, mode, and graph the results. They write...

Students investigate changes in air quality. In this science lesson plan, students compare data to determine the air quality. Students explore how humans affect the air quality.

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

Find a statistical reason for a fresh start. Using a hypothetical scenario, individuals research statistical data of three different cities. Their goal? Find the best statistical reason for a business to move to a new location. Their...

Students explore the changes in sea ice over several years. In this life science lesson, students review and examine 20 years of data. They use Excel to graph data and analyze trends.

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 instructional activity of seven integrating chemistry and algebra....

Students observe and measure a model of slow down slope movement.  In this graphing instructional activity students collect, record, and organize data that apply to models.   

Students explore the concept of statistical data. In this statistical data lesson, students read an article about the dangers of peanut butter to those who are allergic. Students perform a taste test of two different brands of peanut...

Students grow plants and track their growth over time. In this growing plants lesson, students plant seedlings and chart their growth in a data analysis activity.

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

Young scholars explore average speed, and graph distances and time.  In this speed and velocity lesson students complete a lab then calculate distances, acceleration and velocity and graph the data.

Young scholars investigate ways people cause harm to the environment. In this environmental lesson, students explore a case study on the Internet. Young scholars explore all of the online activities and collect data for a presentation.

Pupils identify the line of best fit. For this statistics lesson, students collect and analyze data. They calculate the regression equations and identify the different types of correlation.

In this math worksheet, students identify the type (if any) of correlation on 6 scatter plots. They use information given on a table to create a scatter plot and identify the type of correlation. Students use the scatter plot to make...

Students examine the diet of panthers. In this interpreting data lesson, students collect data on the panther's diet and chart the data in bar and pie graphs.

Students explore the concept of linear regression. For this linear regression lesson, students do a Barbie bungee activity where they collect linear data. Students plot their data using a scatter plot. Students determine a line of best...

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.

Explore linear functions! In this Algebra I lesson, mathematicians graph data in a scatter plot and use a graphing calculator to find a linear regression and/or a median-median line. They use the model to make predictions.

Elementary learners explore coin mint dates. First, they listen to the book Alexander Who Used to be Rich Last Sunday by Judith Viorst. They then sort a collection of coins according to their mint date and put them in order from oldest...

Begin with an introduction to famous deep-sea submersibles. Learners work in groups to gather information on different vessels and then share with the class. Each group then uses water displacement to help calculate the density of...

Sixth graders graph acceleration and practice using the metric system. In this physics lesson, 6th graders take turns timing each other as they walk 15 meters. Students then chart and graph their data using the metric system.
