Students research the Great Migration and answer questions to discover where it took place, when it took place, who were migrating, and why in a 2 page paper. They use a map or atlas to plot out the routes and destinations of those...

Students select books to read that include disease as a plot or theme component. They fill out a matrix for the disease in their novel and write a five-paragraph paper about their book. Students use the rest of the week's classes to...

Students plot the average rainfall for a variety of cities in the United States. Using the map, they work together to determine patterns on which toxicants are transported through the air. They determine the impacts of various weather...

Young scholars explore the history of hurricanes. They discuss the worst hurricanes that have formed. Students examine what to expect during a hurricane and the preparations they should make. They learn about evacuation routes, shelters,...

Students work in groups, plotting carbon dioxide concentrations over time on overheads and estimating the rate of change over five years. Stacked together, the overheads for the whole class show an increase on carbon dioxide over five...

Learners make observations, estimates, and interpretations. They view Images of the James River at Belle Island, Virginia, including one at flood stage, a plot of peak stream flow since 1935, and an image of potholes in the Petersburg...

Students use the equation to calculate the vertical distance an object fall during 1 second in 1/10 second increments. (The acceleration due to gravity on the Earth=a= 9.8 m/s2) Using a graphing calculator, students plot the path of a...

Young scholars identify the purpose of models and why economists use them. Using a graph, they practice reading and plotting points. They are introduced to a production possibilities frontier and draw their own from data supplied to...

Students identify and implement methods to standardize testing stations that measure solar panel output power. After collecting electrical ouptut data from several solar panels, they plot the current-voltage and power curves. Students...

Students compare and order fractions and decimals using a number line. They use rules of conversion to determine equivalencies competing problems accurately and plot points on the number line that represent the correct order of the...

Students investigate the concept of theme and how it is used in literary works. They read a variety of texts looking for the theme in each of them. Students also differentiate between the plot and theme by using a correct definition for...

Students plot pairs of Cartesian coordinates on graph paper and connect points with straightedges. They examine the lines and determine if they are parallel or not by finding the equations of the lines and comparing the slopes. They...

Students explore the concepts of rdioactive decay and dating. They generate a radioactive decay table, use their data to plot a decay graph, develop the concept of half-life, and then use the graph to find the age of a mummified seal in...

Pupils explore the law of reflection. Through experimentation and problem solving, they collect and analyze data pertaining to reflection. The data is plotted on a graph and formulas for calculating the x and y values are evaluated.

Pupils engage in the practice of creating a scatter plot with the data obtained from measuring different resting heart rates. The data is used to create the table that is translated into a graph. The lesson gives instructions for the use...

Learners explore reflections on a coordinate plane in this lesson. They trace their hand on a grid, determine the coordinates of each point, and create a scatter plot of their points. Pupils use this information to investigate aspect...

Pupils measure the air and soil temperatures at designated times. They graph the temperatures of each on one piece of graph paper with different colors. Students compare the information for the two line plots and analyze their results...

In this family size learning exercise, students complete a tally chart to determine data from a family size line plot. They organize the data in the chart to determine the mean, median, mode, and range of the data. There are six...

Challenge your students' graphing and factoring skills with these sets of problems for quadratic functions and equations. Here, kids plot the y-intercept and vertex of 7 parabolas. They factor and solve 9 quadratic equations. Students...

In this elements learning exercise, learners complete two graphic organizers by comparing the element symbol and melting point for given elements. Then students plot a graph of their atomic radius against proton number.

For this combustion instructional activity, learners complete two problems using a table showing the amount of heat released when different alcohols burn. They then create two graphs plotting the energy release against the number of...

Students complete a graphic organizer for this ion's activity by filling in the successive ionization energies for potassium. Then, they create a graph plotting ionization energy against the number of ions.

For this alkanes worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by filling in the number of carbon atoms for the given alkanes. Students plot a graph showing how physical properties change with the number of carbon atoms. Then,...

In this elements activity, students complete a graphic organizer by filling in the symbol and atomic number for the given elements. Students plot a graph of melting point against atomic number. Students write the electron arrangements...
