Students examine stoichiometry. In this chemical reaction and mole lesson, students complete an experiment based on readiness levels to explore that changes are quantified in chemical reactions.

We know that sample data varies — it's time to quantify that variability! After calculating a sample mean, pupils calculate the margin of error. They repeat the process with a greater number of sample means and compare the results.

The world is full of patterns. Help learners quantify those patterns with mathematical representations. The first Algebra activity in a compilation of four uses a series of activities to build the concept of patterns using multiple...

Tuition costs are always on the rise. Help your classes quantify this change using real tuition data. Future college scholars analyze data from 2012 and compare it to current tuition rates with a graphical analysis.

A video and popcorn, just like being at the movies! Given the dimensions of two different cylinders, scholars decide which will hold the most popcorn. They find out if their calculations are correct with the provided solution video.

Students investigate the different hormone contaminants in the water supply. In this math instructional activity, students analyze data tables and graphs. They demonstrate exponential growth and decay using frog populations.

Youngsters test magnetic strength by measuring the mass of paper clips that they "hook" with a magnet. Your first and second graders should love the hands-on activities associated with this plan. The reproducible materials are quite good...

Middle schoolers explore the concept of geometric patterns. In this geometric pattern lesson, students use Microsoft Excel to explore geometric patterns. Middle schoolers analyze growth rates of pattern growth. Students create their...

Students enact the life cycle of a sessile animal and quantify the possibility of survival under the conditions given. They then present to the class a new adaptation which will increase the animals chance of survival.

Learners design an investigation using yeast. In this environmental engineering lesson, students design an investigation to determine how environmental factors affect the growth of yeast. They will collect quantitative data and discuss...

Students study the scientific evidence about carbon dioxide emissions. They learn to calculate the amount of energy used by different appliances. They complete a worksheet which analyzes the amount of energy that their home uses.

Students construct a rocket from a balloon propelled along a guide string. They use this model to learn about Newton's three laws of motion, examining the effect of different forces on the motion of the rocket. They measure the distance...

Pupils investigate poverty using graphs. In this algebra lesson, students collect data on the effects of poverty and use different rules to analyze the data. They graph and use the trapezoid rule to interpret the data.

Raise children's awareness about the importance of conservation with this hands-on science lesson. Start by breaking the class into groups and having them collect trash from around the school or local park. Students then use the provided...

Students explore statistics by completing a graphing activity. In this data analysis lesson, students define a list of mathematical vocabulary terms before unpacking a box of raisins. Students utilize the raisins to plot data on a line...

Students explore number sense by participating in a class fraction game. In this number value activity, students utilize strips of paper with fractions written on them and conduct a trivia game in which teams challenge each other....

Collaborative groups work with geometry manipulatives to investigate conjectures about angles. They create a graphic organizer to use in summarizing relationships among angles in intersecting, perpendicular and parallel lines cut by a...

Learners calculate the board footage of a tree. In this forestry lesson, students use a Biltmore tree scale stick to calculate the number of board feet that would be produced. They quantify the economic value of a tree from this...

Fe, phi, fo, fum. This activity leads pairs to find the ratio of consecutive terms of the Fibonacci sequence. The pairs find that the Fibonacci sequence can be found in many places. A discussion with the class shows that the ratios...

Weathering is not necessarily a result of the weather. Scholars conduct an experiment to explore the effect of surface area and volume on the weathering process. They create their own sugar cube rocks using the same number of cubes—but...

Students explore number sense by completing a statistical analysis game in class. In this data graphing lesson, students utilize visual references such as colored cubes and tiles to map out the results of an experiment outcome such as a...

Learners explore the concept of probability.  In this probability lesson, students use area to determine probability.  Learners use charts and spinners to help determine the probability of events such as flipping a coin or...

Young scholars explore number sense by completing a number set worksheet. In this fractions instructional activity, students utilize pattern blocks as a visual reference to the fractions they practice identifying. Young scholars read the...

Students conduct an experiment to determine the frequency of pulling various parts of an ancient Greek sculpture out of a hat.
