Collections of data represented in stem and leaf plots are organized by young statisticians as they embark some math engaging activities.

What better way to study survey design than to design your own survey! Bring a versatile data analysis project to your AP Statistics class, and encourage them to apply the practices from their instructions to a real-world survey...

Bamboo, the fastest growing plant in the world, can grow up to 35 inches in one day! Pupils learn how plants historically have been classified and determine if these traits are appropriate to use in this 17th lesson of 20. They will also...

Students use fall leaves for art projects. In this art activity, students use leaves to create leaf people. Students take a nature walk in fall and collect leaves. Students make arms and legs and paste them to the leaf.

Pine needles are actually modified leaves. In the 16th installment of 20, young scientists explore plants. Through an analysis of leaves — shape, veins, and edges — pupils see how to classify plants based on structural features.

Students create a flower made of candy for a special person. Students glue hershey kisses bottom to bottom, wrap them in cellophane, tie ribbon on them and give them as gifts.

Students make two pumpkins. In this art lesson, students glue yarn and pumpkin seeds on one of the pumpkins and attach the other pumpkin on top of the pumpkin with the seeds with a brad so as to see what is inside a pumpkin.

Let nature guide your engineering designs. By taking apart a flower, pupils learn about reverse engineering. They use the results to brainstorm designs for new products or ideas. This is the seventh installment of a nine-part Life...

Several problems are presented to test your skills in creating and interpreting frequency tables, pie charts, box-and-whisker and stem-and-leaf plots.

Examine one-variable data analysis through the creation and exploration of a birth place data set. Graphing calculators are used to analyze the data through mean, median, mode, maximum, minimum, stem-and-leaf plots and box-and-whisker...

The Advanced Data Grapher can be used to analyze data with box plots, bubble graphs, scatterplots, histograms, and stem-and-leaf plots.

This activity introduces the concept of plant color being determined by pigments, which interactive with light. The idea that chlorophyll is used by plants for energy is then discussed, along with the first step of the photosynthetic...

This impressive site provides a wealth of information on roots, stems, and leaves. To retrieve information, you simply pass the mouse over the photos and click the highlighted area to receive an explanation about the structure.

In this lesson plan site, students will "Define surface tension, determine what factors affect surface tension, and collect data on how many drops of water a penny can hold."

Students test and observe the "self-cleaning" lotus effect using a lotus leaf and cloth treated with a synthetic lotus-like superhydrophobic coating. They also observe the Wenzel and Cassie Baxter wetting states by creating and...

In this activity, you will be able to observe the oxygen production in leaves by doing a floating leaf disk experiment. You can also find out how quickly plants produce oxygen, and what variables affect photosynthesis.

Through multi-trial experiments, students are able to see and measure something that is otherwise invisible to them- seeing plants transpire. This information will allow students to consider how a plant's unique characteristics (leaf...

Students conduct a simple experiment to model and explore the harmful effects of acid rain (vinegar) on living (green leaf and eggshell) and non-living (paper clip) objects.
