Take your class on an intergalactic journey as they explore the galaxy and various meteorological events taking place in our atmosphere each day. Learners investigate electromagnetic waves and the Doppler Effect before gathering radar...

Teams analyze the data they collected during the past six lessons and finalize where they will build a survival cavern. They then present their decisions to the rest of the class and justify their locations. 

There's more to melting than meets the eye! Junior physical chemists investigate the differences between specific and latent heats as a substance undergoes a phase change. Users remove heat from the system and observe changes in kinetic...

Students explore fieldwork.  In this seventh or eighth grade mathematics lesson plan, students watch a video on data collection in the field.  Students use fieldwork to gather data about their school environment. ...

For this collecting and organizing data worksheet, young scholars, with a partner, problem solve and calculate the answers to six mathematical word problems.

Students are introduced to the organization of data This lesson is designed using stem and leaf plots. After gather data, they create a visual representation of their data through the use of a stem and leaf plot. Students drawing...

Students practice an alternative form of data presentation. They practice sequencing data, identifying the stem-and-leaf, creating stem-and-leaf plots, and drawing inferences from the data by viewing the plots.

Second graders rotate through a variety of stations designed to offer practice in manipulating data. They sort, tally and count items and then create bar graphs, tables, and pie graphs to record their findings.

Second graders work with pumpkins to estimate, then accumulate data about pumpkin seeds. After cleaning out the pumpkins, 2nd graders utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan which has a variety of pumpkin math activities they can do.

Third graders investigate ways to organize data. For this tally marking lesson plan, 3rd graders practice drawing tally marks to represent an item of data. Students also make connections with skip counting by fives.

Students explore different ways to display data. In this statistics lesson plan, students create pie charts, bar graphs and line graphs to show data. Students then write a paragraph discussing which types of graphs are helpful for...

Eighth graders create a survey, gather data and describe the data using measures of central tendency (mean, median and mode) and spread (range, quartiles, and interquartile range). Students use these measures to interpret, compare and...

Use a box of raisins to help introduce the concept of data analysis. Learners collect, analyze and display their data using a variety of methods. The included worksheet takes them through a step-by-step analysis process and graphing.

Fourth graders graph cars according to their colors. They complete the graph including a title, scale, x-axis, and y-axis. Students collect the data and choose the type of graph to be made.

Here is a classic activity used to introduce your class to the concept of probability and data collection. They will roll one die 30 times, then record and discuss the results. Great introduction, but too shallow to be considered a...

Eighth graders collect weather data from a variety of cities at the same latitudes, but on different continents. They organize data using spreadsheet program, generate graphs, and incorporate into a word processing document. Students...

There are a number of activities here that look at representing data in different ways. One activity, has young data analysts conduct a class survey regarding a new radio station, summarize a data set, and use central tendencies to...

High schoolers investigate the concepts of probability. They use data to find the central tendency, median, and mode. Students design and play a game in order to practice the concepts. They also complete a table with data that is analyzed.

Students concentrate on discrete quantiative data. They are shown that the vertical line diagram as a more appropriate way to present discrete quantiative data then bar charts. Students work as a group to help with the interpretation...

Students collect, organize, and display data using a bar graph, line graph, pie graph, or picture graph. They write a summary describing the data represented and compare the graph to another graph in the class.

In this data worksheet, students learn how to organize the data collected during an experiment and practice finding patterns. Students graph a table of experimental data and complete 1 short answer question.

In this collecting and organizing data worksheet, students use the tally chart for the students' eye color to answer the first two questions. Students then survey their family for eye color, record those results in a tally chart, and use...

For this data analysis worksheet, 4th graders use a tally chart about favorite television programs. They record which are least or most popular, rankings, and combinations of programs.

Eighth graders investigate the concepts of probability while performing data analysis. They apply statistical methods in order to measure or predict some possible outcomes. The information is collected and graphed, 8th graders analyze...
