Students collect, organize by table, and examine census data in a simulation, estimate the size of the population in the simulation and make predictions based on the collection of census simulation data.

Young scholars select appropriate tools and technology to perform tests, collect data, and display data. They construct appropriate graphs from data and develop qualitative statements about the relationships between variables.

Young scholars create a yeast dihybrid cross and follow two forms of each of two traits: red growth versus cream color, and tryptophan-dependent versus tryptophan-independent. They complete diagrams to represent the alleles, predict...

Aspiring astronauts graph, interpret, and analyze data. They investigate the relationship between two variables in a problem situation. Using both graphic and symbolic representations they will grasp the concept of line of best fit to...

Students build and program a LEGO robotic car as well as measure and graph its speed. They acquire familiarity with principles of construction, motion, design and problem solving. They compare a robot's speed over two different surfaces...

Fifth graders explore the concepts of range, median, mode, and mean through the use of graphs drawn from models. They use manipulatives to represent data they have collected within their groups, and compare the differences between mode,...

Third graders analyze the dangers of using tobacco products. In this personal health lesson plan, 3rd graders predict and summarize the dangers of experimenting with tobacco.

In this nature of mathematics instructional activity, students identify the different aspects of mathematics and how simple mathematical models are constructed to solve problems. Then, they define the power and limitations of...

Students experiment and compare results of two populations. In this men and women populations lesson plan, students examine the difference in hand span for men and women.  Students calculate a norm based on their...

Students examine their own lives and how well they manage their time outside of school. In this this time management instructional activity, students discover the amount of time they spend on other activities, and create a pie chart with...

Learners discuss why drug abuse risk is higher in social settings. In this health science lesson, students interpret real life statistics on teen drug use. They describe refusal and prevention strategies.

Twelfth graders examine multiple aspects of statistics. In this mathematical reasoning lesson, 12th graders solve problems on probability, logarithms, exponential relationships and transforming rectilinear shapes. This resource contains...

Young scholars work in collaborative teams with specific roles, use the Internet to research the behavior and ecology of pikas, make predictions about survival rates of pikas in different habitats and organize their data in graphs.

Students find coordinate points on a grid and create a line graph with those points. This lesson should ideally be used during a unit on various types of graphs. They make and use coordinate systems to specify locations and to describe...

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

Students collect data to create different types of graphs-line, pie, and bar graphs. They use StarOffice 6.0 to create graphs.

Young scholars analyze why the census is important and the benefits of it. Determine rights and responsibilities in real life situations. They are divided into groups and take a mock census of a list of teachers and students each....

Students analyze and interpret graphs. For this graphing lesson, students view a video and construct their own graphs (line, circle, bar) from given sets of data. 

Students have fun with math. In this math skills instructional activity, students collaborate to solve the problems presented in this interactive instructional activity. The problems pertain to geometry, measurement, probability, number...

Students explore genetics and evolution by examining a hypothetical mouse population. Using coin tosses, they determine mouse traits of parents and offspring. Finally, they consider the outcomes of changing environmental conditions on...

Middle schoolers develop a spreadsheet containing statistical data. They describe and interpret the data to make conclusions. They review the differences between an unorganized spreadsheet verses an organized one.

Students investigate water usage, water available, and water demand historically in the local area. They use projections of water usage, availability and demand up to the year 2050. Students use graphs to relate as well as compare and...

Middle schoolers explore and examine the increases and/or decreases for water user groups: irrigation, municipal, manufacturing, steam electric power generation cooling, livestock, and mining. They utilize percentage changes during their...

Second graders collect data by spinning two spinners and creating sums, organize the data, and make conclusions from the data. Each students makes a spinner. They spin and record the number of the section each time. Students work in...
