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. 

A good understanding of local economics requires a lot of data. Scholars design and conduct an experimental survey to collect information about economic issues affecting their regions. They analyze their findings and prepare a...

Put your knowledge of sample surveys to good use. Pupils begin by conducting a survey of class members. They identify an appropriate topic and sampling technique; collect and organize their data; compute and analyze statistical measures;...

Class members analyze the water content in soil samples by drying out the samples and taking measurements every minute until all the moisture is gone. Scholars compare the initial weight to the dried weight to calculate the percentage of...

Students explore the concept collecting and representing data. In this collecting and representing data lesson, students record the different colors of sweetheart candies in their sweethearts box. Students create a table of the data and...

Students make and test hypotheses about atmospheric data collected aboard the NOAA ship Ronald H. Brown research cruise.

Sixth graders practice collecting and organizing data. In groups, 6th graders determine how many times "Happy Birthday" (at a reasonable rate) may be sung in ten seconds. They collect the information and create a graph.

Eighth graders create their survey discussing wording used in surveys and try to create one that is unbiased. They distribute the survey to the middle school but not during instructional time. They then collect and analyze the data...

Collect and analyze data. Pupils graph their data and model with it to solve real life problems. They use logic and deductive reasoning to draw conclusions.

Students collect sports data, keep track of wiins, losses and scores and average the teams' scores.

Students participate in a lab activity in which they examine a simple energy transformation system. Students test the rebound of elastomers, produce rebound data, and determine the kinetic energy transformed by the impact of a free...

Sixth graders experiment with an atlatl and dart.  In this sixth grade data management mathematics lesson, 6th graders explore and determine the most suitable methods of displaying data collected from their experimentation with...

For this secondary mathematics learning exercise, high schoolers collect data based on a person’s motion. From this data, students create graphs comparing displacement, velocity, and acceleration to time. The five-page learning exercise...

Students create models to represent both linear and quadratic equations.  In this algebra instructional activity, students collect data from the real world and analyze it. They graph and differentiate between the two types.

In this data collection worksheet, students write the data that can be collected about bluebirds and nests and the tools they would use to collect this data. Students complete 14 rows of data.

Learners collect data and create a graph. In this algebra instructional activity, students describe functions graphically, algebraically and verbally. They identify functions as being independent and dependent using variables.

Explore how real-world applications can be parabolic in nature and how to find quadratic functions that best fit data. A number of different examples of modeling parabolas are explored including a student scavenger hunt, the exploration...

Students explore the concept of central tendencies. In this central tendencies lesson, students sort M&M's or Skittles based on color. Students graph their results. Students find the mean, median, and mode of their data.

How do greenhouse gases affect the climate on Earth?  Pupils explore the concept by first building their own apparatuses to model the greenhouse effect. Then, they record data to measure temperature change and determine...

A slide show serves as the backdrop for a instructional activity on the moisture in Earth's atmosphere. Through it, mini meteorologists learn about the attributes of the atmosphere and actually use data-collecting weather tools to make...

Define terminology related to a circle. Practice accuracy in measuring and then create a spreadsheet based on data collected from solving for parts of a circle. Groups can have fun analyzing their data as it relates to Pi.

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill directly impacted an area of the Gulf of Mexico the size of Oklahoma. A marine biology activity looks at the impact of an oil spill on the deeper parts of the ocean. Scholars download actual data collected...

Can your biology class crack the Case of the Crown Jewels? Junior forensics experts try their hands at DNA restriction analysis in an exciting lab activity. The lesson introduces the concept of restriction analysis, teaches pipetting and...

Space science stars journey through our night sky and take virtual photos of galaxies to investigate simple random samples. Higher math is used to analyze the data collected. Copy the evaluation/assessment questions onto a handout...
