First graders graph a data set. Given a set of buttons, 1st graders sort them into categories using specific attributes. They graph the number of buttons in their set based on their attributes using a variety of graphs. Students share...

Learners draw a schematic diagram of parts needed to build an op-amp. In this physics lesson, students test the operation of their machine. They graph and analyze data using excel.

Young scholars explore reaction rates of an enzyme-mediated reaction. They examine the effects of environmental variables on enzyme function. Students collect, graph, and analyze data relating to the reaction.

Students compile data on population distribution and develop survivorship curves using information from cemetery tombstones and obituaries. They develop inferences on the changes in population age distribution in their area over time.

Young scholars create graphic, algebraic and verbal ideas of functions. In this algebra lesson, students graph functions and identify the zeros of the functions. They find the domain and range and classify functions as relation or not.

Students investigate different correlations. In this algebra instructional activity, students analyze graphs and identify the lines as having positive, negative or no correlation. They calculate the line of best fit using a scatter plot.

Students create number lines using decimals and whole numbers. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph and solve linear equations. They plot ordered pairs on a coordinate plane correctly.

Students will build a solar panel. In this physics lesson plan, students will begin with a lecture on energy and proceed into research for their solar panel. The solar panels will be field tested and problems and solutions will be shared...

Young scholars examine sampling by investigating rocks found in the schoolyard.  In this sampling rocks activity students collect and analyze a sample of rocks.

Students design STELLA model based upon scientific research done on monarch butterfly lifecycle; model allows students to predict how many larva will be produced during the winter and thus collect the correct amount of food to sustain...

First graders work in cooperative groups and utilize a variety of materials to test objects ability to sink or float. In this sink or float lesson, 1st graders discover why some object sink and others float. Students will graph results...

Students grow plants in soil representing that found in the Amazon basin. They compare results to plants growing in fertile soil and soil fertilized with leaf compost. Students chart, average and graph plant growth by height. Students...

Students investigate with radio waves that are used to remotely sense the topography beneath the ice sheet. They experiment with travel time of waves and convert data to distance and depth. As a result, they develop a profile of the...

Fourth graders complete multi-curricular activities for weather. In this weather lesson, 4th graders complete creative writing, research, and weather data analysis activities for the lesson.

Students solve quadratic function by completing the square. In this algebra instructional activity, students use the quadratic formula to factor quadratics and find the roots. They graph the parabola and identify its properties.

Eighth graders study how an embryo develops into a fetus by undergoing many physical changes which they observe on a poster. They examine the metamorphosis of fruit flies as they develop through a series of changes. They record the...

Young scholars investigate growth rates of flowstone formations. They view a virtual field trip and discuss how flowstones form. They observe the cave fieldtrip and predict the growth rate for a cave formation. They graph growth rates...

Students learn the importance of caring for eggs as they hatch chickens. In this egg hatching lesson, students observe what happens when eggs are hatched into chickens by completing a e-worksheet and watching a web based movie.

High schoolers investigate perimeter patterns formed by a hexagon and a triangle. They will identify the dependent and independent variable and write a function for the relationship.

Fourth graders calculate the angles and construct a pie graph of the percentages of the elements in the continental and oceanic crusts. Then they analyze the results. They can be assigned the task of researching the percentages.

Students discover and discuss relationships and functions between varying dependent variables and how they affect the period of the pendulum. They use graphing calculator to express the data collected in a graph, to analyze the graph,...

Students participate in a simulation of a parachute-jump competition by making paper parachutes and then dropping them towards a target on the floor. They measure the distance from the point where the paper parachute lands compared to...

Students investigate the concentration level of solutions. In this math/science lesson plan, students identify three different ionic compounds. They predict the conductivity of each using their collected data.

Students measure the rate of sinking of a test tube into a beaker of "glop", representing a model of the interaction between the Earth's crust and upper mantle. This task assesses students' abilities to make simple observations,...
