Eleventh graders will participate to brainstorm on the overhead, characteristics of an "irresponsible" adult and 5 of a "responsible" one? How do these differ if we apply these to businesses? Working in partners--Create a Code of Ethics...

Students observe and count bird sightings around their schoolyard throughout the school year.

Students distinguish between possible and impossible graphs of functions, and to learn why some graphs are impossible. They have practiced plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane

Students experiment to discover the relationship between the stretch of a spring and the amount of weight attached to the spring using Skittles. They use a CBR and a graphing calculator to gather data.

Ninth graders construct a weather map. In this meteorology lesson plan, 9th graders construct a weather map using contour lines and temperature.

Students work together to discover the flow rates of faucets and rivers. They relate their results to engineering and applied science concepts. They make predictions on the flow rate of a nearby river in their local community.

Students conduct an experiment to determine the effects of soil color on its day and night time temperatures. In small groups, they prepare dishes of black soil, brown peat moss, and white sand. They record the temperature changes when a...

Students practice formulating a hypothesis and designing an experiment to test the hypothesis. They identify several sampling techniques they can use to test their hypotheses.

In this tally chart worksheet, students will read about tally charts and their uses. Students will make a list of when and why they could make a tally chart. Next students will complete a tally chart and write statements about the...

Learners compare and contrast the various types of rocks on each continent. In groups, the calculate the rock ages and types to determine if the continents, in their opinion, were joined at one time. They develop two imaginary...

First graders investigate worms, collect and analyze data. In this worm and data lesson, 1st graders listen to Chick and Duckling from the Macmillan/McGraw-Hill reading series. They conduct experiments with worms, collect simple data,...

Students graph the varying sizes of dinosaurs.  In this math and dinosaur lesson, students view dinosaur models and compare the different shapes and sizes of the dinosaurs.  Students complete a dinosaur math activity, read The...

For this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders analyze a problem in which basic assumptions must be made about cost and demand for the product or item.  Students use a graph to make predictions and determine the best price at which to...

Students complete calculations involving the structure and properties of matter. They engage in a variety of problem solving activities to help them determine the center of gravity.

Students complete calculus calculations involving the structure and properties of matter and determining the center of gravity.

Students analyze the number of times each letter in the alphabet is used in the names of the states. In this statistics lesson, students create a stem and leaf plot, box and whisker plot and a histogram to analyze their data.

Students investigate polygons and their lattice. In this calculus lesson, students record data using different methods. They analyze their data and draw conclusions based on the relationship between the area and the interior lattice.

In this function worksheet, students read word problems and write functions. They determine the instantaneous rate of change and identify intervals. This three-page worksheet contains approximately 20 problems.

The types of scientific information that need to be analyzed in the ACT test are presented here. Tips and techniques for completing the research, data, viewpoints, and multiple choice questions will help your class and their expectations.

Young scholars demonstrate how to solve word problems. They will watch the video "Math Can Take You Places" and identify three problem solving strategies.

Students examine the importance of salt for trade routes and the economy of a community.

Middle schoolers investigate the finding of a hypothesis and how it can be tested.For the experiment they will be using the concept of probability. Students design an experiment and test the hypothesis. Then the results are graphed...

Students identify, describe, count, tally, and graph life found in one square foot of land.

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.
