Over the years, data analysis has been important. Looking back to the 2004 AP® Statistics Form B free-response questions, pupils and teachers see the importance of analysis of data sets. The six questions contain analysis of data on...

Acid-base indicators are an essential part of any chemistry classroom. Individuals explore the color-changing feature of the important indicators in a vibrant hands-on activity. Using serial dilution, learners create solutions ranging...

I just bought that car, how can its value decrease already? Individuals use the data of a depreciating car value to create an exponential decay model. They then compare exponential decay and growth equations.

Flip a coin to determine whether the probability of heads is one-half. Pupils use simulated data to find the experimental probability of flipping a coin. Participants compare the long run relative frequency with the known theoretical...

What do your classes know about statistics? Use a pre-test to determine their background.  Topics include scatter plots and lines of best fit, two-way frequency tables, and modeling with linear equations.

Learners create a display map with data from a previous lesson. They incorporate graduated marks that identify areas of the school grounds that are good for planting based on density.

Students prepare and collect data and use excel and create a graph. They collect data about the number of pattern blocks that are put on tables. Students then record that data in Excel.

In this pictograph problem solving instructional activity, students analyze a pictograph of birds seen each day for a week. They use the information on the graph to solve 6 problems.

In this tally chart worksheet, students analyze a chart showing childhood illness cases. Students use the tally chart to solve 6 problems.

In this data analysis worksheet, students interpret data in 5 problems involving graphs, tables, and scatterplots. Students construct 1 stem and leaf plot and find the mean, median, and mode of a data set.

Young scholars participate in graphing data.  In this graphing data lesson, students make a stem and leaf plot of their summer activities.  Young scholars create numerous graphs on poster boards.  Students discuss the...

Students explore statistics by researching class birthday data. In this data analysis lesson, students investigate the different birthdays among their classmates and create data tables based on the given information. Students view bar...

Height is dependent on weight—or is it the other way around? Given data from a physicians handbook, individuals compare the height and weight of males and females at different areas. They calculate differences and ratios to assist with...

Lunar explorers perform an experiment to understand the size of the craters on the surface of the moon. They layer flour, laundry detergent, and cocoa powder in a pan to model the lunar surface. They drop marbles from different heights...

A change is coming. Pupils use unit cubes to investigate how changes in the length, width, and/or height affects volume and surface area. They extend the results to write and test predictions on the effect of changing multiple sides on...

Don't waste all that carbon dioxide. Scholars first produce carbon dioxide by mixing baking soda and vinegar. They measure the masses of the reactants and products to verify the law of conservation of mass. As a culminating activity,...

In this experimental design and homeostasis worksheet, students complete 20 sentences with key terms about designing experiments, gathering data, graphing data and determining controls. They also complete sentences about homeostasis and...

How did scientists determine the cause of illness before technology? Science scholars play the role of medical researcher in an engaging guided inquiry activity. Using observations, technical reading, and Punnett squares, learners...

In this data and charts instructional activity, learners answer multiple choice questions referring to different charts about mountain heights, breakfast drinks, and more. Students complete 10 multiple choice questions.

What's in a name? Pupils create a data set from the number of letters in the names of classmates. Each group then takes the data and creates a visual representation, such as a histogram, circle graph, stem-and-leaf plot, etc.

Money can't buy happiness, but it can put food on the table and pay the bills. The first of a five-lesson unit teaches pupils about the unemployment rate in 1963 and its relationship with the March on Washington. They learn how to create...

Radishes are great plants to use in any unit on gardening. They are easy to germinate from seed. The worksheet has groups of gardeners plant two radish seeds in one container, and four radish seeds in another. They use this worksheet to...

In this weather worksheet, students read a data table comparing the temperature and weather conditions at three different locations. Students use this data to complete 8 fill in the blank, 1 short answer question, and one graph.

In this graphs worksheet, students solve 6 fill in the blank problems where they choose the most appropriate type of graph for each set of data and explain why they chose that type. Students use bar graphs, histograms and circle graphs....
