Investigating Chance Processes of Probability
How likely is it that the school cafeteria will serve chicken tomorrow? Discover the concept of probability with the roll of the dice. Pupils evaluate the liklihood of several statments about everyday life. Then, a mathematical...
EngageNY
Ruling Out Chance (part 2)
Help your classes find the significance in this activity! Learners analyze the probability of Diff values. They then determine if the difference is significant based on their probability of occurrence.
EngageNY
Ruling Out Chance (part 3)
Pupils analyze group data to identify significant differences. They use simulation to create their own random assignment data for comparison.

Microbe Experimentation
Seventh graders study microorganisms in their environments by experimenting with milk products. In this microbes lesson, 7th graders read background information about microorganisms in yogurt and soured milk. Students then follow a...
Curated OER
Energy Audit
Young scholars collect data about energy usage and use mathematical calculations to analyze their data. In this energy conservation and statistics math lesson, students survey their homes to complete an energy usage worksheet. Young...

Listening Devices
Students design and construct a listening device that will allow them to listen to the sound generated by specific object inside a box.
Curated OER
Pump It Up!
Students design a pumping device that will effectively pump fluid through a model "cardiovascular system." They explore the effects of too much and too little pressure on a circulatory system.
Curated OER
Living in Extreme Environments
Young scholars explore the living conditions needed to grow bacteria. They develop an experiment that will test the ability of bacteria to survive various temperature extremes. In addition, they complete a lab reprt to share their results.

Scientific Inquiry: Measurement/Data
While pupils design their own lab experiments, they will not form a new species. Scholars take their materials and design an experiment regarding reaction rates.
Curated OER
Research Ethics
Young scientists discuss the results of carelessness during experimentation and the temptation to misrepresent findings. These activities are intended to develop the ability to identify scientific error, misconduct, and fraud. Use this...

Territorial Behavior in Crickets
Students explore the behavior of crickets during courtship. They measure the number and types of interactions between household crickets. Students discriminate between quantitative and qualitative observations. They collect data to...
Curated OER
The Working of Scientists
Pupils define and explain the basic concepts of experimental design. For this scientific method lesson students complete a hands on activity, develop and present proposals to test their explanations.
Curated OER
Balloon Ball Bounce
Students explore the rebound of balls. In this energy conversion lesson, students explore the physics behind the rebound of various types of sports balls. Through the experimental design process using balloons, students investigate and...
