How are bubbles made? A simple experiment involving the construction of bubbles is available in this lab worksheet. A fun activity prompts pairs of learners to use dish soap in order to make bubbles. They keep track of the size of the...

Students make a box and whiskers plot using the TI-73 graphing calculator. Each student would have their own calculator but they would work in small groups of two or three to help each other enter the data and make the plots.

Ninth graders encounter various types of numerical information (represented in multiple ways), much of which is abstract and difficult to comprehend. In this lesson, 9th graders will convert given information into bar graphs. In the...

Sixth graders construct a graph to demonstration information that they've learned about the solary system. They also write or illustrate a sonar or lunar eclipse.

Third graders demonstrate their estimating and measuring abilities.  In this length measurement instructional activity, 3rd graders produce estimates of how long a handful of French fries will be before physically measuring them....

Second graders, using two dice, participate in a car race game called Cars on the Curve. They predict which car wins the game and records it in their Data Diary.

Students explore basic cloud types and the weather associated with each one.  In this earth science lesson, students participate in numerous activities including going outside to observe the clouds they see, making a cloud in a...

In this statistics lesson, 11th graders are asked to calculate the percentiles, quartiles and cumulative frequency given different graphs and data. There are 6 questions with an answer key.

Second graders explore probability by playing a drawing game with dice. After they roll a die, they draw a tree diagram to illustrate each of the possible outcomes.

Students investigate money. In this consumer math lesson, students use coins, identify their value, then group them in various ways to equal a dollar.

Students design charts, tables, graphs, and pictographs to analyse the types of snacks in a bag.

Student make bird feeders and describe feeding behaviors. For this bird feeder lesson plan, students construct simple bird feeders. They then put them outside and observe the feeding behaviors of birds. Then they graph the number of...

Fifth graders create their own solar panel. They use this experiment to see how the sun can be used as a form of energy.

Second graders distinguish between and use nonstandard and standard units of measurement, use appropriate tools and techniques to measure length and width, and record and interpret data using graphs.

Young scholars investigate if gender makes a difference in the classroom. For this statistics lesson, students collect data on whether equity by gender in the classroom makes young scholars more successful.
