Pupils examine the concept of scatter plots. They compare baseball statistics to locate the ones that correlate with winning, and identify the positive, negative, and no correlation in sets of data using MS Excel.

Young scholars collect data about lighting conditions around a room using a light sensor and RCX. They use software to upload and analyze the data in order to draw conclusions about light intensity in the room.

Young scholars explore the differences between surface water and ground water. They collect data using maps and graphs and investigate a Texas river basin and a nearby aquifer. They complete a written report including maps and data...

Students graph the upwelling and downwelling of shortwave radiation. They create a data table with the information. Students compute the Watts per square meter. They discuss their results and whether or not cloud type affects daily...

Students make a prediction/hypothesis based on what you currently know about "mixed messages".

Students work together to measure tree heights. They make predictions on what they believe the calculations are and answer questions during the experiment. They share their results with the class.

Students read a thermometer accurately, collect and record data, and generate a graph based on data. They learn what independent and dependent variables are. They analyze data and make conclusions concerning how soil coverings affect...

Students explore temperature variation in lakes and deal with the data.

Fifth graders conduct experiments to compare seed germination and plant growth rates. They construct a hydroponic plant unit and a lighthouse. They care for the plants for a month and collect data for graphs. They write a report.

Seventh graders create a line graph and identify when to use line graphs. In this line graphs lesson plan, 7th graders analyze the average temperatures of various cities. Students graph the data they collected.

Students identify the concept of an element and work with an idea that all of the millions of substances on the earth are various combinations of only 8 elements. They work with the Periodic Table of the Elements and symbols of the...

Fifth graders study math patterns and relationships as well as learn about the heritage of Aboriginal peoples of Saskatchewan. In this patterns and heritage lesson, 5th graders research the daily lives of First Nations People in...

Young scholars read stories and articles about protecting the Earth. They collect data for a computer generated graph, and provide a key to show what the symbols represent.

Students view, discuss, and compare different types of maps produced from remote sensing data. They use image processing software to analyze and enhance sea surface temperature maps.

Learners make predictions using given data, writing a linear equation from given data, and using a linear equation to predict later behavior.

Young scholars use regression methods available through technology to select the most appropriate model to describe collected data and use the model to interpret information. They use numeric techniques to write the equation of a line...

Third graders measure distance using nonstandard units of measure. In this measurement lesson, 3rd graders measure a given distance through the use of the game "Mother May I?" Student gather and compare data on how many "giant steps" and...

Students, after reading the explanation given below, use FoilSim and a graphing calculator to complete the activity to determine the relationship between airspeed and lift of an object by interpreting data.

Students each have a turn, telling the class his or her favorite pet. The choices are cat, dog, fish or bird. Using the computer, the information from the tally be recorded on a spreadsheet and bar graph.

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...

Fifth graders determine how many double scoop combinations they can make using 5 different ice cream flavors. Then they use Microsoft Publisher to create a brochure for their ice cream shop.
