Students collect data on calorie intake. In this algebra lesson, students use the collection of data to make better eating decisions. They investigate the nutritional value in food using a graph and draw conclusion from their findings.

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 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.

Students are presented a problem concerning an aquifer which may be in danger from overuse by agriculture/industry. They compile data and consult online data and experts in creating a proposal to rectify the situation.

Sixth graders observe the physical and chemical change that can occur in an acid and a base. In this acids and bases lesson plan, 6th graders use cabbage juice to identify, compare, and contrast acids and bases.

Third graders investigate ways to organize data. In 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.

In this graphing worksheet, students read a graph, complete a chart about the information, and answer questions. There are fifteen questions in all.

Learners explore data and Excel spreadsheets. They collect data about political candidates. Students enter the data into a chart on Excel. They create a graph using the data and Excel.

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.

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...

Students use the Data Explorer software to organize and display the test scores for the classes in stacked box-and-whisker plots, then analyze the results in paragraph form.

Students 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 demonstrate their ability to collect, organize, and display data. They examine everyday objects that can be turned into a function machine for the lesson. They use colored fish to help them organize their data.

Third graders sort objects into those they think will float and those that will sink and test their predictions. They experiment with clay molding it into shapes that float. They place pennies in them until they sink. They test other...

Students explore vocabulary related to sports and hobbies. They consider their interests in sports and hobbies in relation to other students. They discuss music and describe a piece of music using simple adjectives.

Here is an app that will help kids sort objects! Sorting is an action that promotes cognitive flexibility and executive function. It is a key skill used in categorizing scientific data, making generalizations, and is foundational in...

Students explore fruits and vegetables. In this fruits and vegetables lesson plan, students study traits of various fruits, vegetables and seeds. Students rename fruits, vegetables and seeds.

Students are taught that plants produce oxygen underwater, and they design an experiment that test this question. They discuss whether plants give off oxygen, and how to measure this. Students measure the increase in dissolved oxygen...

How high can your pupils jump? Learners design an experiment to answer this question. After collecting the data, they create box plots and scatter plots to analyze the data. To finish the lesson, they use the data to draw conclusions.

Reaction rates vary between your dominant and nondominant hand ... or do they? Young scholars conduct an experiment collecting data to answer just that. After collecting data, they calculate the p-value to determine if the difference is...

Chunking information helps you remember that information longer. A hands-on activity tests this theory by having learners collect and analyze their own data. Following their conclusions, they conduct randomization simulations to...

Provide a Hooke for a lesson on elasticity with an activity that has groups investigate a set of springs. They use a set procedure to collect data to calculate the spring constant for each spring using Hooke's Law. The groups...
