Students develop a line graph based on distances that an RCX car drives in specified amounts of time. They then are given a specific amount of time for the car to drive and be asked to extrapolate the car's distance from the graph.

Fifth graders learn and then demonstrate their knowledge of a bar and a circle graph using the classroom data. Students are given a pack of skittles candy. Students create a bar and circle graph indicating the results of the contents of...

Students build and program a car to drive a specific challenge distance.They must at the end of the lesson, have the car that stops the closest to a challenge distance.

How are forces and motion important to a swing set? Scholars explore the concepts of force and motion using swing sets. In preparation for their own STEM design project, individuals take surveys and data from peers, complete labs on...

Students create spreadsheets and bar graphs based on results of survey of favorite holidays.

Students investigate recycling. In this environmental lesson, students design a recycling program for their school. Students collect data about how much recyclable materials they use in one week. Students also survey classmates about how...

Third graders enter the results of their survey on a spreadsheet. They construct a bar graph showing the results.

Three days of race car design and driving through the classroom while guessing probability could be a third graders dream. Learn to record car speed, distances traveled, and statistics by using calculation ranges using the mean, median,...

Students use graphs to calibrate an RCX car. They must then program the car to traverse a maze using their calibrations

Eighth graders explore mathematics by conducting a series of investigations using a colorimeter. In this math lesson, 8th graders explain the purpose of food irradiation. They collect data and graph them.

Students access George MacDonald's Fairytales website, read exerpts of pre-selected tales, select their favorite and communicate that information via the internet to another class.
