Children create crazy crayons they made to sort and construct a floor bar graph. Then, using technology resources, they make a simple bar graph to compare the top four colors produced. Students will then interpret the printed graph by...

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.

Fifth graders create graphs based on climate in South Carolina. They read and interpret information in a chart and construct a graphy from the information in the chart. They create a spreadsheet using Excel and publish 2 graphs.

Pupils use the lab apparatus to calculate the average velocity and average acceleration at several points and record the data. They use the spreadsheets to plot distance vs. time, velocity vs. time and acceleration vs. time graphs.

Seventh graders compile a table of the revenues of the 8 eateries (a combined total), Main Gate admissions, and the Gift Shop.

Ninth graders explore data analysis.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders collect and organize data to create a scatter plot.  Students use the regression feature of the calculator to find the line of best fit and use the...

Second graders rotate as the person to enter the information of sunrise and sunset into a spreadsheet. The teacher also demonstrates how to convert the spreadsheet into a chart.

Student matches the initial letter of his/her name with the corresponding letter on the clothesline. They then participate in the classroom discussions by offering information relevant to the topic and answering or asking questions...

Students perform computer simulations on air dispersion. In this chemistry lesson plan, students calculate energy transfer based on specific heat and temperature change. They explain the causes of smog.

Students calculate the distance they will travel. In this geometry activity, students use the TI and CBL system to make calculation of a certain path. They explore geography by calculating distances between different areas as it relates...

Twelfth graders answer the question what is next for them and identify how life is going to be different after high school. As a class, they share their life experiences in elementary and middle school and then predict how it might be...

Students read a book about understanding differences.  In this getting to know you instructional activity, students sit in a circle, roll a ball to each other and tell one thing about themselves when they get the ball. ...

Second graders explore the role of water as a natural resource in order to conserve and protect its use for future generations.

Second graders discuss what weather is and list words that can be used to describe weather. In this science instructional activity, 2nd graders develop symbols for each type of weather and record the weather for two weeks at the same...

Sixth graders examine how much energy they use in the form of battery power. They examine the cost of using regular vs. rechargeable batteries and examine the effect on the environment of the two types of batteries. They discover that...

Middle schoolers run a computer simulation. They collect data as they work and use the data to create an annual report for their business. Several different simulations could be used for this project. It is desirable for students to do...

First graders explore geometry by completing a worksheet in class. In this non-standard measurement unit lesson, 1st graders discuss different techniques for measuring items without the use of a ruler. Students read several short stories...

Students make a box and whiskers plot using the TI-73 graphing calculator. Each student would have their own calculator but they would work in small groups of two or three to help each other enter the data and make the plots.

Students find a correlation between a person's height and his/her shoe size. They have access to entering data into lists on a graphing calculator and can complete scatter plots. Students read and interpret a scatter plot and use the...

Students explore data sheets and statistics in baseball. They use baseball data available on the Internet to develop an understanding of the different ways in which data can be analyzed.
