Young scholars determine the age of a star cluster by observing, measuring, and plotting astronomical data. They examine the Jewe lbox cluster, located within the southern constellation Crux and determine its age.

Students create and carry out a "modern day" version of the famous scene from Romeo and Juliet to help them build understanding of the plot and the two characters.

Students determine how marine archaeologists use historical and archaeological data to draw inferences about shipwrecks. Students plot the position of a shipwrecked vessel, and draw inferences about the shipwreck from artifacts that have...

Young scholars collect and plot data, then interpret the results and answer questions about the geologic causes and the human effects of volcanic eruption. They participate in a role-play activity and a virtual field trip, as well.

Students view a video clip about unemployment. They research data and create a scatter plot graph. They discover the importance of graphs and what they can tell us. They create their own publication on unemployment.

Students analyze patterns of exponential models by collecting data in paper folding and M&M investigations. They use graphing calculators to create scatter plots that lead to equations for the exponential models. They then apply this...

Young scholars generate a radioactive decay table for an imaginary element using a box filled with pinto beans and M&M's. They use their data to plot a decay graph, develop the concept of half-life, and use the graph to "age" several...

Students complete a writing assignment focused on the use of data to support the theory of plate tectonics. They access data using the "Our Dynamic Planet" CDROM, capture images of the data plots, and incorporate them into their writing. T

Learners identify the axes, quadrants of the coordinate plane and plot points on the plane. They take notes on the coordinate plane. Students and teacher go over examples of the coordinate plane. As an independent practice learners...

Learners watch teacher demonstration of distance formula, view non-collinear cities on maps, plot points on coordinate plane, evaluate square roots, compute distance between two points, and use Heron's formula to find area of triangles.

Learners explore the concept of parabolas by collecting quadratic data on a bouncing ball as it is falling using a motion detector. They plot the data and determine the equation of the quadratic in vertex form, then determine the values...

Pupils investigate linear, quadratic, and exponential regressions. They plot sets of data points, determine the regression equation that best fits the data and lastly investigate the coefficient of determination.

In this math worksheet, students find the mean, median and mode for 6 number sets. Students then find the median and mode for data found in 2 stem-and-leaf plots.

For this math worksheet, students write the coordinates of points that have been plotted on a coordinate plane. This worksheet generator allows teachers to select the size of the grid and whether or not to use negative coordinates. An...

In this reactions learning exercise, students compare the reaction of two different indigestion tablets with dilute hydrochloric acid and plot the mass loss results against time. Then, they complete five short answer questions.

In this human population activity, students are given data about the size of the human population from the 1800s to 1999. They plot the data and answer critical thinking questions about the changes in human population.

Students investigate the effects of weights on the motion of a toy car. In this force and acceleration lesson plan, students use different weights, a toy car, a paper clip and string to determine how a car will move as different weights...

Young scholars examine the path a satellite follows as it orbits the earth. In this space science lesson, students use a globe as they illustrate a satellite in its orbital plane, then plot points on the satellite's path on the globe to...

Students construct a sketch of the planets in our solar system using concentric circles and angles. In this solar system lesson plan, students plot the position of each planet on concentric circles using graph paper. The sun is included...

In this reaction reversibility worksheet, students find the equilibrium equation for a reaction of two gases and plot their concentrations over time. They answer 12 questions about the chemical reaction.

In this acceleration worksheet, students use weights to increase the mass affecting the force on moving objects. Students plot a graph of their data and answer 3 questions about how the acceleration of the toy skateboard used in the...

In this distance between stars activity, students plot the distance between the sun and 11 other stars on a 2 dimensional grid using a protractor and a ruler. They determine the distances between various stars and they find the shortest...

In this Milky Way galaxy worksheet, students are given a table of distances and angles of nebulae and star clusters from the sun. Students plot each one on a piece of paper and solve 2 problems using the data.

In this enthalpy of reactions learning exercise, students use a known amount of copper (II) sulphate solution and an excess of zinc powder to calculate the reaction's enthalpy change. Students measure the temperature change throughout...
