Students use mathematical models to predict and analyze data generated by student investigations. Students review basic descriptive statistics and probability using an exploration of a tree trunk diameter vs. circumference to derive a mathematical relationship. Students do a literature search to find other examples of mathematical models in scientific research. Students carry out their own inquiry projects using mathematical models and statistical data analysis. Full Review »

Students, working in groups, create "artificial seeds" for a wind dispersal experiment. After trial runs, they redesign their seeds, and re-test them under the same conditions. Finally, they interpret, compare, and evaluate the original to the modified seed to determine the optimum conditions for wind-dispersed seeds. Full Review »
