In this reflectivity worksheet, students read about the absorption and reflectivity of light by different materials. Students solve 4 problems and determine the composition of given materials based on the amount of light reflected. They...

For this Hubble Space Telescope worksheet, students are given a photograph of the radiator recovered after being in space on the Hubble Space Telescope since 1993. Students solve 6 problems about the impacts that left craters on the...

For this star clusters worksheet, students use the library and Internet to complete information about the Pleiades star cluster. They use a given photograph to answer questions about the number of stars in the cluster, the distance...

In this history of cars worksheet, students answer 20 multiple choice questions about cars of the past, the types of cars, the Clean Air Act, the number of cars on the road and the average fuel economy for new cars.

In this graphing worksheet, students read the average monthly maximum and minimum temperatures in Paris and use them to complete a color coded line graph. Students graph 24 figures.

In this calculus worksheet, students solve problems with trigonometric functions. They take the derivative and find the average rate of change.

Students calculate gas prices. In this transportation lesson, students tally the mileage and gas costs of their car for one months. They figure out how much was spent on gas and create a graph showing average gas prices over time. 

Students define the following words: extinction, endangered species, meteorite collision, glaciation and climate warming. They investigate that there are 307 species on the endangered list, and an average of 10-20 species are added each...

Students visit the burial ground at Huguenot Street and work in groups to calculate the average lifespan for a resident in the 1700's and one in the 1800's. They analyze the grave markers for further information.

Young scholars create a spreadsheet which includes a bar graph. They sort and classify information and use the average function on a spreadsheet. They research Skittles candy and summarize their findings on a spreadsheet.

Learners compute the mean and median of the number of seeds in a watermelon. They work in groups with a slice of water to complete and compare their calculations. They get a class average and mean.

Students use the computer and S'COOL data for statistical analysis.

Learners engage in a study of mean, median, mode, and range in order to represent data in tables. They are also exposed to the results of data that is skewed because of the outlier.

Twelfth graders calculate the mean, median, and mode of various wages. They apply these skills to asking for pay raises. They discuss whether the mean, median, or mode provide the highest wage increase.

For this online math worksheet, find the mean, median, and mode in a variety of sets of data. This excellent resource allows the middle schoolers to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific...

Ways to organize data is the focus of this math PowerPoint. Students view slides that define and give descriptions of a variety of graphs, and how mean, median, and mode are found. A good visual tool which should benefit almost all types...

Students explore the concepts of mean, median, and mode. They develop an understanding and familiarity with these concepts. Students explore mean and median in an efficient way. Students explore three different measures of center.

Upper elementary and middle schoolers work with the concept of probability. They are introduced to the concept of chaos. Learners graph and analyze using a line plot, work with mean, and are introduced to the concept of variance.

Students explore measurement by measuring classmates' heads. They record their measurements and they put the measurements in order from smallest to largest. Students figure the mean, median, mode, maximum, minimum, and range of their...
