Students study different formats of data and determine the nitrogen dioxide concentrations.  For this seasons lesson students understand the different relationships that NO2 can have.

Student observes and measures the variability in the length of the forearm and the length of the foot and to test a common belief that the length of the foot is equal to the length of the forearm.

Get two activities with one lesson. The first lesson, is appropriate for grades 6-12 and takes about 20 minutes. It introduces the concept of measures of central tendency, primarily the mean, and discusses its uses as well as its...

Students are introduced to the various methods of measuring water quality. In groups, they test various water samples using the different methods, writing them down for pH, oxygen, salinity, and nitrate levels. They use their data to...

One of the key questions in statistics is whether the results are good enough. Use an activity to help pupils understand the importance of sample size and the effect it has on variability. Groups collect their own sample data and compare...

The more you text, the less you study. Have classes test this hypothesis or another question related to text messages. Using real data, learners use technology to create a scatter plot and calculate a regression line. They create a dot...

Space science stars journey through our night sky and take virtual photos of galaxies to investigate simple random samples. Higher math is used to analyze the data collected. Copy the evaluation/assessment questions onto a handout...

Students analyze the consequences of changing variables on a system. Changes in a model are measured and recorded and conclusions drawn based on the data provided in this six lessons unit.

Students analyze the number of times each letter in the alphabet is used in the names of the states. In this statistics instructional activity, students create a stem and leaf plot, box and whisker plot and a histogram to analyze their...

Students analyze data taken from proteomic experiments. In this biology instructional activity, students explain the importance of bioinformatics tools in the study of proteins. They evaluate scientific results using math and computer...

Students view a video clip on time travel. They work together to complete a worksheet on measuring time. They discuss the different perceptions of time.

Students collect and analyze data with a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to find the meaning of their data. They display the data on a Ti calculator.

Students collect and plot data on a graph. In this statistics lesson, students analyze the distribution of a sample and predict the outcome. They find the line of best fit and discuss what would make the sample larger.

Eighth graders create a website using FrontPage. They use inserted forms to collect survey information and use Microsoft Excel and MS Word to create a presentation of the survey and the results.

Students analyze sampling from different population. In this statistics lesson, students define the meaning of sample sizes and what causes an increase or decrease. They graph their data on the Ti calculator and draw conclusion from the...

Students are introduced to the SWMP system which tracks short-and long-term changes in water. Using this data, they plot and interpret the data on a graph to determine how human activities are lowering the water quality. They also...

Young scholars analyze different data in percentage form. In this statistics lesson, students plot data using box-plots, dotplot, and histogram. They compare and contrast the collected data using the boxplot.

Students solve quadratic function by completing the square. In this algebra lesson plan, students use the quadratic formula to factor quadratics and find the roots. They graph the parabola and identify its properties.

Young scholars play a memory game as they explore reasoning. In this algebra lesson plan, students identify concepts using pictures and words. They model real life scenarios using hands on manipulatives.

Students investigate probability.  In this fourth through sixth grade mathematics lesson plan, students collect, organize and display data in an appropriate chart or graph as they calculate and apply basic probability. 

Students draw conclusions about how the ocean affects temperature. For this weather lesson, students use the Internet to gather data to help them come to a conclusion about how the climate in a certain region is directly affected by the...

Students conduct an experiment to determine how the change in ramp height affects the distances a ball is able to move a stationary cup. Data is collected from several trials and recorded and analyzed.
