Each member of the class creates their own paper ruler. Using their ruler, kids walk around the room measuring the objects you've specified. Discuss how items should be measured to the 16th of an inch, the smallest unit on their ruler....

Young investigators conduct an experiment using the scientific method. They see how many drops of water fit on a coin; have them conduct several different trials. This involves making a hypothesis, looking at controls, and introducing...

Water pollution is everywhere, and pollutants range from oil to fertilizers. Bring the concept to life by demonstrating the difficulties in getting particular pollutants out of water.

Students predict what sort of activities can be accomplished during the allotted time. In this time lesson, students record their predictions and perform the activities they predicted that they could accomplish within the 20 minute time...

Sixth graders explore predictions and estimation. In this math lesson, 6th graders analyze data and make predictions based on the past years data.

Students predict and explore to discover which objects sink or float in fresh and salt water, predict how salt affect objects, write predictions on T chart, discuss difference between man-made and natural waters, and graph results.

Middle schoolers apply probability to real life situation. In this statistics lesson, students play poker and make predictions on what hand they will get next. They apply their knowledge of how probability works to make their predictions.

Learners make predictions based on survey results. They calcuate sample proportions. Students estimate the number of voters in their district preferring the democratic candidate using their sample results. They review sample proportions...

student make predictions or draw conclusions based on physical and visual representations of profit and sales. They model problems with physical materials and visual representations, and use models, graphs and tables to draw conclusions...

Students make predictions about which bus takes the most/least students in the classroom. They use KidPix bus stamp for each student who goes home on that bus number and record data and discuss predictions.

Students study the effects of combining, subdividing, and changing basic shapes to figure out the official method for folding the US flag. They complete a prediction sheet to determine how to get the flag folded so that only the blue...

Students predict the speeds of humans and hermit crabs and investigate their predictions using ratios and formulas. AppleWorks is used for this instructional activity, which includes a data worksheet.

Students observe weather patterns, collect data, and make a weather predictions for various locations on a map.

Seventh graders investigate the concept of probability. They use the game of hangman to create engagement and context for conducting the lesson. They create a spreadsheet with data that is given. Students make predictions based on data.

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

Students explore heart rates. They record pulse rates, predict which exercises cause a faster heart rate, make a chart, and graph the results. Students write an essay using the data to support their predictions. They write a hypothesis...

High schoolers convert from one system of linear measure to another, graphing data from a table to a coordinate graph, using a graph to make predictions.

Students collect data and make a frequency table, change ratios into percents, and analyze data to make predictions.

Students participate in a lab experiment in which they discover the need for so many blocks and tackles on sailing ships. In groups, they make and test their predictions and practice measuring objects in various units. They record and...

Learners measure water and make predictions about efficiency.

Fourth graders collect data, graph their data, and then make predictions based upon their findings. They's interest is maintained by the interesting way the data is collected. The data collection experiment is from the psychology work of...

Eighth graders experiment with M&M's and a cup attached to a spring to to simulate a bungee jump. They graph the results of the experiment and make predictions for continuing the experiment. They determine the "line of best fit."

Fourth graders are introduced to how to take measurements in the metric system. After defining new vocabulary, they read a story by Mark Twain about jumping frogs. In groups, they simulate a frog jumping contest in which they made...

Pupils parcticipate in a modeling activity that simulates the cyclical role of experimental and theoretical science. Initially, students measure the mass of popcorn. They also record predictions of the mass of the kernels after they are...
