Students collect data on the weather, graph and analyze it. In this algebra lesson, students interpret maps and are able to better plan their days based on the weather reading. They make predictions based on the type of clouds they see.

Desert regions are hotter for multiple reasons; the lack of vegetation causes the sun's heat to go straight into the surface and the lack of moisture means none of the heat is being transferred into evaporation. This concept, and other...

This Groundhog's Day, challenge scholars to predict, estimate, tally, and graph in a weather-themed lesson plan in which class members play the role of the groundhog to forecast the weather come February second. 

Students create and analyze a weather-related data table and a thematic map based upon information provided.

Sixth graders compare and contrast bar and line graphs. Using a weather forecast of the area, 6th graders record the high and low temperatures in a table. Students determine and justify the most appropriate graph to display a given set...

Students explore bar and line graphs. In this data collection, graphing, and weather lesson, students compare bar and line graphs and discuss which type of graph would be most appropriate for displaying a ten day weather forecast....

Young mathematicians practice measuring and graphing skills while working in groups to measure objects found in the classroom. Using their measurements, they create one bar graph displaying the lengths and another displaying the widths.

Students explore mean, median and mode. In this math instructional activity, students analyze temperature data and figure the mean, median, and mode of the data. Students graph the data in a bar graph.

Students explore and discuss hurricanes, and examine how meteorologists, weather officers, and NASA researchers use measurement and data analysis to predict severe weather. They plot points on coordinate map, classify hurricanes...

Here is a classic activity used to introduce your class to the concept of probability and data collection. They will roll one die 30 times, then record and discuss the results. Great introduction, but too shallow to be considered a...

Upper graders examine the concept of probability. They collect data and create a bar graph. They must interpret the data as well. Everyone engages in hands-on games and activities which lead them to predict possible outcomes for a...

From Brazil to Indonesia, young scientists investigate the geography and climate of the world's tropical rain forests with this collection of worksheets.

Students perform operations and graph their data using charts and bar graphs. In this algebra lesson, students follow specific steps to make a bar graph. They create a survey about people favorite things and plot their data from the...

Learners gather data about the weather in Nome, Alaska. In this Nome Temperature lesson plan, students create an excel graph to explore the weather trends in Nome.  Learners will find the average weather and add a trend line to...

Students decide as a class what their data is going to be to graph. In this math lesson plan, students organize data so that it will be easier to display in a graph. Students are guided through the process by their teachers, and helped...

Young scholars record weather for a period of one month. For this weather lesson, students observe weather for one month on a large pictograph. Young scholars record clouds, wind, temperature and any other weather conditions they...

Seventh graders investigate how to make and set up a scatter plot. In this statistics lesson, 7th graders collect data and plot it. They analyze their data and discuss their results.

Students explore basic Excel spreadsheets.  In this spreadsheet lesson plan, students enter Alaska weather information and  perform calculations. Students title the columns on the spreadsheet and format the cells. ...

Students organize data collected from their experiments using graphs. In this statistics and biology lesson, students organize their scientific data from an article into readable graphs. They define the usefulness of their graph and...

Students investigate the weather by reading children stories.  In this weather observation lesson plan, students read Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and several other stories about weather before they create a KWL chart....

In this data collection and analysis lesson, young scholars observe and graph the weather conditions during one school week, then calculate the average weather temperature. Extensions are included.

First graders create a picture graph representing their town's weather for one week.

Students calculate probability. In this lesson on probability, students use given data to calculate to chances of a given event occurring. Many of the calculations in this lesson are applicable to daily life.

Students investigate technology and its many designs to make our lives easy. In this science lesson, students build a hot air balloon and answer specific questions about weight and rides in the hot air balloon. They analyze their data...
