Scholars explore the procedure for bacteria sampling in a virtual lab by first walking through a detailed step-by-step procedure of preparing the samples of raw milk and pasteurized milk, growing the bacteria, and comparing results....

Develop probability distributions from simulations. Young mathematicians use simulations to collect data. They use the data to draw graphs of probability distributions for the random variable in question.

Students participate in simulation as they examine vegetation in a square meter land plot. Students construct charts and a key to make predicitons about other land plots.

Students apply estimation strategies for problem-solving purposes. They become familiar with one aspect of a marine biologist's work.

Students explain how pollution affects ground water. They participate in a simulation to discover the location of an illegal dump. Students explore the monetary benefits, risk and environmental concerns are factors in business decisions.

Students conduct a Swap Day to determine how bartering to exchange goods works. They trade something that they do not want for an item that they prefer.
