Students define fluctuation and the price of food. In this algebra instructional activity, students create a budget to live on based on their living expenses. They create a chart and explore the cause and effect of real life scenarios.

Students sort Valentine candy and create a bar graph with it.

Students classify and tabulate the type of advertisements found in a collection of magazines. Determination is made on what percent of the total number of ads each type represents. They present their results orally and in a graph.

Students design a cafeteria floor plan. In this area and perimeter lesson, groups create an efficient lunchroom layout on poster board by using geometric shapes and formulas as the basis for their designs. In the accompanying writing...

Students study the history of kites and their fundamental properties.  For this kites lesson students divide into teams and build and fly kites. 

Students look through magazines and calculate the percentages of the types of ads in the magazines. In this percentages lesson plan, students create a graph to show their results.

Learners create their own daily log books for recording and keeping track of the weather.

Learners measure the effect of water temperature on the rate of a chemical reaction, similar to the interaction of a weak acid and carbonate rock, using hot water and effervescent antacid tablets.

Third graders, in groups, dissect a variety of brands of chocolate chip cookies and calculate the mean for each brand. They create their own bar graphs, pictographs, and line graphs to represent information.

Students explore the concept of misleading statistics. In this misleading statistics lesson, students play a game of tag and graph the number of times each student gets tagged. Students use the graph to determine the fastest runner in...

Young scholars explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson plan, students simulate a controlled forest burn using an applet. Young scholars vary the probability of trees burning and predict what will happen.

Students create a list of products with estimated prices. In this algebra lesson, students learn to write equations using variables. They match their created list with that of actual products and compare their prices,

Middle schoolers investigate the concept of using box and whisker plots. They demonstrate how to use them to compute median, mode, and range. Students compare and contrast the complete and systematic processes use to solve problems. This...

Students research topics on the internet where probability is relevant. Students study statistics and probability concepts by looking at practical questions that arise in professional sports.

Students identify the parts of the respiratory system and how they interact. They define vocabulary words and draw an outline of themselves and label the parts of the respiratory system. They distinguish between healthy and unhealthy...

Students explore the dose response principle, an introduction to what the "natural log" (ln) is and how it behaves. They create and analyze a dose response graph.

Eighth graders investigate what would happen to the length of a rubber band as more and more rings were hung on it. They base their explanation on what they observed, and as they develop cognitive skills, they should be able to...

Students measure the properties of two different types of soap and wood and calculate their densities. Then they predict whether or not whether or not each object would float or sink in fresh or salt water.

Pupils investigate triangles and their relationship to each other. In this geometry lesson, students solve right triangles using the properties of the Pythagorean Theorem. They differentiate between right, acute, straight and oblique...

Students discover enzyme to substrate specificity. The experiment uses samples of glucose and lactose in combination with the enzyme lactase. Students observe the reaction between the lactose and the lactase; the lack of a reaction...

Young scholars examine pollen and fibers taken from a garment. They analyze pollen from new hybrids and compare it to the samples from the garment then make individual conclusions concerning the specific historical authenticity of the...

Students take part in various activities ranging from creating a human clock, to small group problem solving to reinforce the concept of telling time accurately to five minutes on an analog clock.

Students access the Internet to find information on current hurricanes. They get locations, speeds, and air pressures and then plot the location of the hurricane on a hurricane-tracking map. They also access the FEMA website to solve...

Students arrange various pictures of the Earth to identify its journey through space. In this Earth's rotation instructional activity, students use models of the Earth and demonstrate its journey through space. Students complete the...
