Students use the Live Access Server (LAS) to form maps and a numerical text file of snow cover for each continent on a particular date. They analyze the data for each map and corresponding text file to determine an estimate of snow cover...

Students create a 3D vector field map of an electric field. In this physics lesson, students measure the voltage inside an aquarium with water. They present their findings and map to class..

Students study mean, median, and mode. They construct paper airplanes and test them to see how far they fly. They measure the distance and then find the averages of their throws. They use spreadsheet software to record the data in a...

Students discover the process of finding the mean, median, and mode. Through guided practice and problem solving activities, they use a computer program to input data and create a graph. Graph data is used to calculate the mean,...

Third graders take a survey of friends' and family members' favorite Christmas carols. They illustrate a favorite Christmas carol and have students try to guess the name of the carol based on the picture.

Fourth graders control variables to determine the effect on plant growth. They collect information by observing and measuring and construct simple graphs, tables, maps and charts to organize, examine and evaluate information.

Eighth graders determine food that they would need to survive in the wild. They graph the best foods for their environments and rate the survivability rate for each member of their group.

Second graders discuss experiences of watching a rocket launch either on television or in person before making paper rockets. They make and color rockets which they attempt to launch using a strong breath blown through a straw at the...

Learners identify, describe, count, tally, and graph life found in one square foot of land.

Students construct their own pendulum. In this physics lesson, students design an experiment to find the factors affecting its period. They formulate a conclusion based on experimental data.

Second graders select a stock and follow its ups and downs, using graphs to show its success.

Seventh graders collect data, graph and analyze it.

Fourth graders predict future outcomes with an investigation of the mathematical principle of probability using spinners constructed by them. The spinner is a hands on application an they combine it with writing a ratio for the...

Students view video clips and observe similarities and differences between animals. They sort animals into groups for a zoo. They make a graph of their observations and review scientific classifications.

Students examine the effects of acid rain on plants. They observe the growth of seeds and the health of different plants for a month. They share their findings with the community.

Second graders role play as dentists researching teeth and their care. They create a slide show showing how a character, Bear, can take care of this teeth explaining habitats, diets and teeth.

Fourth graders are given a scenario in the lesson that presents a problem that needs to be solved. They conduct research from multiple sources in order to gather information. This is used to contribute to possible solutions proposed by...

Fifth graders study six major biomes, graph temperature and rainfall, and present their findings to the class.

First graders explore facial expressions in a mirror and create drawings of people with a facial expression of their choice. They graph the facial expressions drawn.

Students collect data from Internet sources to compare age distributions in their city, county or state with that of other places in the US or other countries. They construct and interpret age-structure population pyramids and research...

Students research the salary for a career of interest. They consider what kind of lifestyle that career would provide and graph their information for comparison.

Students, through a case study of actual water sources in Washington State, identify major sources of aquatic pollution. They also categorize pollutants, make inferences about the effects of pollutants on the environment and construct...

Students review mean, median, mode, and range while using the newspaper to answer weather questions.

Students explore the issues that influence our environment and research ways to decrease the negative impact that humans have on the environment. Misconceptions about environmental issues are addressed in this lesson.
