Students interpret graphs and statistics to recognise and understand the cultural and linguistic diversity of Australia. They create a profile of the linguistic diversity of the class or school. Students discuss Australia's cultural...

Fourth graders explore triangles. For this math lesson, 4th graders discuss the different types of triangles. Students create triangles using wiki sticks. Students complete an online matching game.

Ninth graders operate a model to observe the type of motion that occurs at a fault during an earthquake. They explore the effects of several variables. Students measure movement, calculate averages and plot and graph information.

Fourth graders explore the characteristics of organisms and how these influence their ability to survive in particular habitats. Students perform experiments with types of bird beaks and graph their results. Students explore familiar...

An interesting lesson on different types of soils is here for you. In it, learners discuss what soil is, and consider three piles of soil - clay, sand, and loam. During the rest of the lesson, third graders discover all sorts of...

Junior archaeologists examine types of artifacts from the Bronze Age on the internet. In collaborative groups, they create a story about a ship from this period and then construct a model of the ocean floor after their ship has sunk....

Young scholars use data of school alumni to create a database. The lesson uses technology and access to a computer lab is essential. The concepts of graphing statistics is also used to help teach across the curriculum.

Students conduct an experiment dealing with momentum, energy and collisions in order to collect usable data sets. Data sets gathered are graphed and used to calculate conservation of momentum, amount of energy change, and classify the...

Young scholars examine seeds from various plants. In this science lesson plan, students cut open fruits and vegetables in order to see the seeds. Young scholars describe each type of seed and classify the seeds.

For any science class, learners can use this lab sheet to plan an experiment. It includes a space for the title, question, materials, setup, and procedure. If you want your class to complete this in typed form, you can provide the web...

Upper grade and middle schoolers collect data, analyze and interpret the data. This three-part lesson should provide learners with a firm understanding about the differences between mean, median, and mode and how to perform the...

Young scholars explore the uses of bird beaks in the wild by participating in experiment stations. In this bird adaptation activity, students work in groups and complete experiment stations that represent different types of bird beaks....

Students practice making graphs and interpreting them. They compare and contrast different sets of data. They use Microsoft Excel to create different types of graphs.

Students practice sampling and graphing techniques. In this data collection and interpretation instructional activity, students write and conduct surveys about chocolate preferences and then collect their data. Students graph the data in...

Learners complete the square and identify different parts of a quadratic equation. In this algebra lesson, pupils graph conics using the TI calculator. They rewrite equations by completing the square.

In exploring the concept of complex roots, students find the axis of symmetry and roots of parabolas.  Then, they discuss what makes a solution complex and how to identify functions with complex roots.

Solve systems of equation using graphing! In this algebra lesson, students use the TI to graph two lines and identify the number of solutions. They perform interactive graphing on the navigator.

Using their Ti-Nspire to determine the solutions of parabolas, learners explore the concept of complex roots.  Students determine if parabolas have real or complex roots.  Learners determine the the axis of symmetry and the...

Young scholars analyze how clouds form. In this cloud formation lesson, learners brainstorm types of clouds and what they think they're made of. Young scholars conduct an experiment to see how clouds form and discuss their observations....

In this geography instructional activity, students identify how to manipulate data on a range of endangered species. They create a bar graph of endangered animals from Africa, Asia, Australia, North America, or South America. Students...

Students measure respiratory rates on live toads, and the effect water temperature has on their findings.  In this scientific method lesson, students record their findings and present them in a graph, comparing the results.

Learners discuss scatter plots then create a class scatter plot using their heart rate at rest and their heart rate after a few minutes of aerobic exercises. Students copy the points plotted as a class and create individual graphs...

Students measure shells using 3 different methods.  In this measurement lesson, students work in two groups to measure the length of a shell using two different units of measure.  The groups compare their results, measure the...

Learners draw an accurate geologic cross section by using a given data table. They relate the features of the cross section to geologic processes. Students then relate the characteristics of the bedrock to the architecture.
