In this heat worksheet, learners complete experiments with heat and answer short answer questions about the transfer of thermal energy. Students complete 4 questions, one chart, and one bar graph.

Students explore the topic of statistics with M and Ms. In this math lesson plan, students use candy pieces to sort and gather information needed to create a bar graph. This lesson can be adapted to accommodate students in grades 1-12.

Students investigate primary and secondary waves and how to measure the magnitude of waves. They discover how to find the epicenter of earthquakes. They examine why waves are more destructive in some areas than others through these...

Students explore pressure in our atmosphere. They examine the relationship between pressure and depth. Students construct an experimental apparatus and take measurements. Students evaluate the impact of pressure on the lungs.

Students develop techniques for estimating the area of a circle and use ideas about area and perimeter to solve practical problems. In this area and perimeter lesson, students apply the concepts of perimeter and area to the solution of...

Students 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.

Students evaluate pH levels through a solubility experiment. In this pH levels instructional activity, students list characteristics of acids and bases. Students complete their own pH level experiment. Students go to the GEMS Alien Juice...

In this graph learning exercise, students study a bar graph that shows the number of college students taking at least one online course. Students answer 4 problem solving questions about the data on the graph.

Young scholars use the scientific method to make predictions about mold growth. In this fungus lesson plan, students use worksheets to help them illustrate predictions and graph mold growth from white to wheat bread. Young scholars first...

Pairs work together to determine whether unknown solutions are either acids or bases by using a red cabbage indicator solution. After determining the general pH of the unknown solution, classmates blow into the same indicator after...

Second graders, in groups, predict the weight of a pumpkin and the number of seeds it might have. Then they find and record the actual weight and actual number of seeds. They compare and contrast the size of the pumpkin to the number of...

Students construct a car with the longest roll using a ramp. They construct Lego cars, modify the wheel sizes and car configurations to evaluate which car design rolls the longest distance, develop a graph, and complete a worksheet.

For this data analysis worksheet, students solve and complete 4 different types of problems. First, they reduce the data provided to find the means, and graph the means in a line graph. Then, students graph the data from each mixture...

Students measure their own foot and place the outline on a graph. They make connections between the size of their foot and the bar graph that represents it.

Ninth graders encounter various types of numerical information (represented in multiple ways), much of which is abstract and difficult to comprehend. In this lesson, 9th graders will convert given information into bar graphs. In the...

Students discover the differences between weather and climate in this long-term instructional activity introduction. They create rain gauges and practice reading rainfall measurements, view a website showing the cloud cover in their...

Third graders perform an experiment using different mixtures of dishwasher detergent. They construct bar graphs that record their bubble data for each detergent set.

Fifth graders take addition timed tests every day for a two week period. Using the data from the timed tests, they create a bar graph using Microsoft Excel computer software, a personal bar graph using graph paper and colored pencils,...

Fifth graders engage in a tasty lesson which assist them with proportional measurements. They use a given recipe written for 12 servings, and use a chart to determine the ingredient amounts for 30 servings (or number of students in class).

Students explore air and clouds by watching demonstration. They perform an experiment to measure air pressure changes.

Young scholars measure the lengths of their bodies and various body parts to determine the relationship (or lack of one) between body part length and the length of the entire body. A spreadsheet program is suggested for data collection.

Second graders discuss experiences of watching a rocket launch either on television or in person before making paper rockets. They make and color rockets which they attempt to launch using a strong breath blown through a straw at the...

Fourth graders control variables to determine the effect on plant growth. They collect information by observing and measuring and construct simple graphs, tables, maps and charts to organize, examine and evaluate information.

Students simulate some of the Pathfinder experiments by devising methods of collecting and measuring magnetic substances in pseudo-Martian soil. The efficiency of each of the methods used to collect materials is evaluated in this lesson.
