Fourth graders examine the various types of plants and animals found in the deserts of Utah. In groups, they discover how the plants and animals have adapted to the harsh environment. To end the lesson, they compare and contrast the...

Students study electricity by making their own light sculptures. In this light sculptures instructional activity, students review electrical loops and circuitry components. Students then plan, create, and refine light sculptures.

Fifth graders conduct experiments to compare seed germination and plant growth rates. They construct a hydroponic plant unit and a lighthouse. They care for the plants for a month and collect data for graphs. They write a report.

Students explore plant life by reading books about gardening. In this botany lesson, students read the books From Seed to Plant and Oh Say Can You Seed? while identifying the necessary elements to raising a healthy plant. Students view...

Students begin the lesson by noting the many ways in which to use peanuts. In groups, they use the internet to research the work of George Washington Carver. They discover the allergies and nutritional information of the peanut and...

Students explore how the population decreased in native cultures.

Pupils design an experiment to test the variables involved in the hatching of the Bruchid beetle.

Students investigate if gender makes a difference in the classroom. In this statistics instructional activity, students collect data on whether equity by gender in the classroom makes students more successful.

Ninth graders investigate the application of populations that exists in one's everyday environment, in order to develop an understanding of how mathematics is a key component in the understanding of population dynamics.

High schoolers conduct various experiments to investigate plant transpiration. In this biology lesson plan, students explain how this process helps maintain the hydrologic cycle. They measure the rate of water loss in plants using a...

Students find an advertisement or newspaper using charts or graphs. They create another graph using the same information in a different format. They write a comparison of the two graphs.

Students observe one of the direct effects of acid water on plant growth. Students engage in an experiment which will take about 2 weeks. Students will understand the effect that acid rain has on plant growth.

Students explore plants. In this plant instructional activity, students examine organisms to determine which are plants. During this introductory instructional activity, students explore characteristics of living things.

In this spot the difference worksheet, learners analyze pictures of two different creeping thistles to see if they can find six differences between the two.

Second graders examine the characteristics of plants. As a class, they brainstorm a list of items plants need in order to survive. In groups, they complete various experiments in which they discover the functions of the parts of the plant.

Students participate in a Web Quest activity in which they identify common exotic invasive plant species of the Southern Appalachian Region. After identifying the top 10 exotic invasive species, they choose one to research in depth.

This activity is designed so that the students create their own Around the Room activity. They will be collecting data, displaying it in a stem and leaf plot, and then developing questions around their display for other students to answer!

The students will be using discovery techniques to learn about stem and leaf plots.

Lesson plan introduces students to stem-and-leaf plots. Many resources are available for student and teachers here.

Students will understand key concepts of data analysis and their graphic representations. Students will construct and interpret data tables, line plots, box-and-whisker plots and stem-and-leaf plots, scatterplots with line of best fit,...

Middle schoolers will record the number of drops of water in a stem-and-leaf plot that will fit on top of a penny. Printable lesson.

Students learn how to create stem-and-leaf diagrams and boxplots by collecting data on the surface tension of water molecules. This hands-on activity using pennies is a great way to learn how to organize data.

The lesson is a hands-on project. Students will work in pairs to gather various measurements, organizing the data into a provided chart. The measurements will be used to review, reinforce, and introduce skills such as measures of central...

Students use multiple representations to display how many times the letters of the alphabet is used in a state name. Concepts explored: stem and leaf, box and whisker plots, histograms.
