Students study how scientists measure diversity.  In this diversity lesson students look at marine communities and look at data to calculate diversity in 3 different ways.

Students communicate how weather affects people, classify objects according to how they are used, and observe and record weather data using symbols.

Students explore the similarities and differences between ocean mammals and fish. The characteristics of the life forms observed are placed onto a graph. The classroom becomes the botom of the sea and is explored to gain the required data.

Fourth graders use research tools to access and synthesize information. They gather and manipulate data using technology. Research and study the components of an electrical circuit. Create a brochure that demonstrates knowledge of how to...

Students explore the attributes of spring. In this weather lesson, students collect data regarding weather from various media. Students graph simple weather data and dress animals for forecasted weather. Students discuss the...

Students use a smoke analysis machine and create a visual display to show risks involved in smoking. In this cigarette smoking lesson, students demonstrate how to use a smoke analysis machine and show results in a visual display....

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.

Young scholars collect data using email. They calculate the mean, median, mode, range and outliers. They create a graph using the data results. They write five paragraphs to summarize their data.

Here is a well-designed instructional activity on common standards of measurement for your young mathematicians. In it, learners calculate measurements in standard and non-standard units. They make predictions, record data, and construct...

Learners design questions that can be answered by collecting data. In this line-plot lesson, pupils collect data and graph on a line plot on world records. An abundant supply of teacher support is provided in this resource.

The fifth lesson of seven in the series outlines an in-depth analysis of the periodic table. After direct instruction, pupils take turns practicing in the group before beginning independent study. The assessments include a...

Students explore an assigned state. In this United States geography lesson, students identify facts and figures related to a particular state. Students use the Internet for research and create a PowerPoint presentation displaying these...

Students rotate through stations in the classroom, completing different types of measurements. These measurements are placed into a spreadsheet, and a scatter plot is generated. They type an explanation of their results in correlation...

Students experiment to determine if a game is fair, collect data, interpret data, display data, and state and apply the rule for probability. Students use a simple game for this experiment.

Fifth graders collect temperature readings over a period of time, enter the information into a spreadsheet and choose the appropriate graph to display the results.

Students read and record temperatures and display the data. They represent the temperatures on an appropriate graph and explain completely what was done and why it was done. Students display the data showing differences in the daily...

Fifth graders create/use spreadsheets to solve real-world problems, explore patterns and make predictions, select/explain most appropriate types of graph to display data, and enter data into a prepared spreadsheet to perform calculations.

Students are introduced to histograms, bar graphs, and the concept of class interval. They use an activity and three discussions with supplemental exercises to help students explore how data can be graphically represented (and...

Students complete a science experiment to study insulation, heat transfer, and permafrost. In this permafrost study lesson, students design and test a soda insulator. Students graph their class data and discuss the results. Students...

Learners determine the power dissipated in the combination of two resistors connected in series to a 6 volt battery. This task assesses students' abilities to develop procedures for an investigation, develop a plan for recording and...

Pupils examine the wattage of a light bulb using math. In this algebra lesson, students find the inverse square of given parameter. They work in groups collecting and analyzing data.

Third graders discuss light sources and collect data about energy sources. They compare data and create a multiple line graph showing energy used by light sources for each student in the group. They present their graphs and write a...

Students practice creating bar graphs using a given set of data. Using the same data, they create a group frequency chart and histograms. They must decide the best graph for the given set of data. They share their graphs with the...

Students explore the concept of linear regression. In this linear regression lesson plan, students do a Barbie bungee activity where they collect linear data. Students plot their data using a scatter plot. Students determine a line of...
