Price of Apples- Linear Data
Students collect data and create a graph. In this algebra lesson, students describe functions graphically, algebraically and verbally. They identify functions as being independent and dependent using variables.
Curated OER
Analyzing Graphs and Data
Students collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make inferences from the collected data. They display their data using graphs, bar graphs, circles graphs and Venn diagrams.
Curated OER
Graphing Data from the Chemistry Laboratory
High schoolers graph and analyze data using a spreadsheet.
Curated OER
Modeling Population Growth
Students collect data on population growth. In this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make predictions. They find the linear regression and the best fit line.

Model Data with Quadratic Functions
Students model data using quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students simplify and factor quadratic equations. They graph the function using collected data and analyze the parabola.
Curated OER
The Environment and Interactions of Living Organisms
Young scholars study the environment and interactions of living organisms. They identify abiotic and biotic factors and create a foldable and vocabulary cards. They create a poster illustrating soil and watch a video to study symbiosis.

Linear Modeling: Functions
Students analyze linear functions. In this algebra lesson, students create a linear model to relate coordinate pairs. They evaluate and solve equations.
Curated OER
The Box Problem
Students 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.
