Surf's up, big kahunas! How do surfers know when the big waves will appear? They use science! Over the course of five days, dive in to the inner workings of tidal waves and learn to predict sea levels with the moon as your guide.

Help pupils see the world through the eyes of a mathematician. As they examine tide patterns, sound waves, and stock market patterns using trigonometric functions, learners create scatter plots and write best-fit functions. 

Scholars learn what it means for a relation to be a function and see various representations of functions. After learning the definition, they participate in a card sorting activity classifying relations as functions or not.

Why are the properties of the water important when exploring the ocean? Young scientists discover the tools and technology used in deep sea exploration in the fourth installment in a five-part series. Groups work together to...

Let's give parameters a second try. Scholars take a second look at a system of linear equations that involve a parameter. Using their knowledge of solutions of systems of linear equations, learners describe the solution to the system as...

Discover the relationship between tangent lines and the tangent function. Class members develop the idea of the tangent function using the unit circle. They create tables of values and explore the domain, range, and end behavior of...

What's the link between lactase persistence and dairy farming? Biology scholars analyze data to find evidence of the connection, then relate this to human adaptation. Working individually and in small groups, learners view short video...

Learners match a given velocity graph and sketch the corresponding position graph using a graphing calculator. After collecting data from their everyday life, students use specific functions on their calculators to create graphs and...

Students investigate a possible health problem in the local school district through inquiry into attendance records, activities, maps, graphs, and data tables. The simulation continues as solutions for the problem are sought.

In this oxygen worksheet, learners analyze date about the oxygen levels in a river to determine the cause of the dying fish. This worksheet has 2 graphs, 12 short answer questions, and 2 graphic organizers.

High schoolers graph functions and analyze them. In this calculus lesson, students define limit formally using Epsilon-Delta. They use the TI to graph the function and analyze it.

Students create a pictograph showing household size for the class.In this data collection and graphing lesson, the teacher guides students through the creation of a concrete object graph, then students analyze and summarize the results.

Students study practical data analysis within the constraints of the scientific method.  In this data lesson students collect and enter data into a computer spreadsheet then create graphs.

Fifth graders explore how to collect data and display it on a bar and circle graph.

Learners graph the derivative of functions in this calculus activity. They use the TI to graph their functions and algebraically take the derivative of each function. They then create a visual and analyze the graph.

Seventh graders perform an experiment to determine the effect of temperature on reaction rates. In this chemistry lesson, 7th graders take measurements and record data. They create a graph and analyze results.

In this coordinates worksheet, learners analyze two maps and identify the coordinates of ten specific locations. Students plot sixteen points on a graph and check their answers online at the end of each exercise.

In this statistics activity, 11th graders collect data and organize it using a frequency table. They plot their data and analyze it using stem and leaf plots. There are 3 questions with an answer key.

Learners examine candy preferences to create a plan in order to improve candy sales. In this technobiz lesson, students build spreadsheet and organizational skills by graphing and calculating data. Learners are introduced to terminology...

Students graph systems of equation. In this algebra lesson, students find where the lines cross and identify the type of solution. They analyze a graph and write the equation of the line.

Sixth graders explore scientific observations by analyzing a group of data. In this fingerprint identification lesson plan, 6th graders identify the reasoning behind fingerprinting and create their own ink fingerprints. Students discuss...

Students watch a video on exponential growth and discuss the different graphs. In this calculus instructional activity, students analyze graphs using examples from the fish population, human population and investments. They discuss...

Students write equations for their graphs. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs after they plot them using coordinate points and write an equation for the line given the slope and y-intercept. They express their answers using...

Students study how markets allocate resources, students read background, analyze graphs, and make predictions about the impact of variables on the curves.
