Fifth graders create a 3D Pie graph using the Chart Wizard in Excel to represent their assigned states' data. They discuss the similarities and differences between states, and form a hypothesis on the relationship between location and...

Students analyze and integrate mathematical concepts within the context of social studies. They gather, present and analyze information on a bar graph, pie chart, etc. Students compute ratios. They demonstrate that ratios have real-world...

Young scholars use CERES percent coverage surface data with a world map in locating landmasses and bodies of water at Earth's Equator.

Second graders use data analysis skills in order to plan a class party. They graph possible times for the party noting the range for times. They discuss how mathematicians find and use the range to analyze data.

Second graders select a stock and follow its ups and downs, using graphs to show its success.

Second graders, in groups, participate in a four-station rotation model to solve problems. They use coins and dice for stations one, two, and three.

Fourth graders collect data, graph their data, and then make predictions based upon their findings. They's interest is maintained by the interesting way the data is collected. The data collection experiment is from the psychology work of...

Eighth graders are introduced to the Bozeman Trail. Using the internet, they research the trail to discover the forts located on its path. They must also locate and label landmarks on a map using symbols they create. They answer...

Students recognize different types of cloud patterns and associate these patterns with certain types of weather. They predict the weather for the next 6 to 24 hours. They then improve their observation skills as they check on the weather...

Students observe and discuss the local weather patterns, researching cloud types and weather patterns for cities on the same latitude on the Internet. They record the data for 6-8 weeks on a graph, and make weather predictions for their...

Students evaluate data from a statistical chart or graph which they find in a newspaper or magazine.

Students calculate gasoline cost per mile on a virtual field trip. They calculate the gasoline costs and travel time for each of the 2 routes, and record on a data sheet. They use Excel to create data tables for mileage, gasoline...

Pupils, after reading the explanation given below, use FoilSim and a graphing calculator to complete the activity to determine the relationship between airspeed and lift of an object by interpreting data.

Students spend one month keeping track of the mileage and gasoline amounts they or their family has used. Information is entered into a spreadsheet to help calculate the average gas prices over time.

Students use the internet to find reasons the rainforest is endangered and ways that affects the rest of the world. They read for information, perform experiments, locate rainforests on maps, and write about this ecosystem.

Students, after reading an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook, demonstrate an understanding of the text by using it, along with FoilSim, to complete an activity to graph and interpret the lift equation.
