In this mathematical instructional activity, students survey a selection of thirteen people to find out if they like to eat ice cream, cakes or pies and then fill in their graphs with the data they've collected.

In this statistics worksheet, students examine and interpret pictographs and line graphs. Students analyze the provided data in order to create bar graphs, circle graphs, and box and whisker plots. The nine page worksheet accompanies a...

A little too much strain could cause a lot of stress. Groups conduct a strength test on clay. Using books as weights, pupils measure the compression of clay columns and calculate the associated strain and stress. Teams record their...

Scholars must determine the maximum area for a rectangular plot of land enclosed with 100 meters of rope. As the work they discover patterns and numerical approaches to solve the problem.

I get a charge out of this. In order to learn how a generator works, groups build and test one in this ninth lesson of the series. The generators are tested at low speed and high speed to determine the watt output and whether they have...

Youngsters compare the heat-holding abilities of three different cans by insulating two with different materials and measuring the temperature change of hot water over a 20-minute period. 

How can kids use math to learn about marine life? Combine math skills with science lessons in a resource featuring activities about life in the sea. Kids graph and calculate data, solve complex word problems, measure geometric shapes,...

Review questions like these can be used in your biology, chemistry, physics, or earth science classes! They assess scientists' understanding of laboratory measurement tools including graduated cylinders, thermometers, and balances. They...

In this favorite animal survey worksheet, students use tally marks to survey and record data about favorite Australian animals. Students then use the results to make a graph.

Students work with data about commercial fishing ofsalmon in Alaska. Students gather data, graph it, and analyze it.

In this conservation of mass worksheet, learners design an investigation to demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Mass. Students describe their investigation, collect data, graph the data and write a conclusion about what they discovered.

In this space science instructional activity, learners collect data that includes information in a chart or graph to display in a group. They identify and describe various planet features of a specific planet of choice. Students write...
