Students investigate scientific methods by analyzing an article from the Natural Inquirer.  For this data analysis lesson, students read an article from the magazine and discuss at least 2 scientific methods that could be used to...

Students conduct probability experiments.  in this number lesson, students use spinners and conduct probability experiments.  They collect and organize data on talley sheets.

How many people do you need in a room before two likely share the same birthday? Scholars consider this puzzle by analyzing a set of data. They ponder how to divide the data and determine the proper size of a group for this event to...

Learners collect data and analyze the data using a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use combinations and theoretical and experimental probability to analyze their data. They observe a remote controlled robot as they collect data.

Students solve theoretical probability problems. In this algebra lesson, students apply the concept of probabilities to solving real life scenarios. They collect data and graph it using experimental probability.

Students plant a garden and keep track of it. In this geometrical garden instructional activity, students collect data from their garden twice a week. They graph their finding and figure out how many square feet of growing space...

What's that silly thing spinning in the wind? It's a whirligig! Explore wonderful windy whirligigs with a STEM-based unit that teaches the science and concepts behind these gigs. Scholars discover how gravity and air resistance...

Most scholars associate density with floating, but how do scientists determine the exact density of an unknown liquid? The third lesson in a seven-part series challenges scholars to find the mass and volume of two unknown liquids. Each...

Students collect data and make predictions. In this probability lesson, students perform experiments calculating the chance of an event occurring. They draw conclusion based on their data.

Students play game to practice numerical skills.

Scholars create and perform experiments attempting to answer Buffon's Coin problem. They discover the relationships between geometry and probability, empirical and theoretical probabilities, and area of a circle and square.

Eighth graders give some examples of chemical reactions they see everyday. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders investigate how much water soil can hold. They collect data and compare results with others.

Students collect and analyze data using  percent difference. In this algebra lesson, students relate the concepts of algebra to cardiac physiology.
