Fifth graders interpret data. In this mode and range lesson, 5th graders define mode and range and practice finding them given a set of data.

Students determine which of several soil samples (sand, soil, and slit) produces puddles, providing insight into the permeability of these different soils. This task assesses students' abilities to make simple observations, collect,...

Students compare and contrast the use of bar and pie graphs with the same data. They create a data set by surveying all students in the class using sticky notes to make a table on the board. Then, each student creates a bar and pie graph...

Students investigate the economy and the market value of goods. In this algebra lesson plan, students differentiate between domestic goods value and international good value. The define and identify the importance of GDP or Gross...

Ninth graders explore population growth.  In this Algebra I activity, 9th graders conduct an experiment simulating population growth.   Students create a model and relate the results to a real-world situation. ...

Ninth graders calculate the average speed of their balsa wood airplane. In this physics lesson, 9th graders build their own airplane and make necessary modifications to to make it fly straight. They interpret distance and time graph...

Students investigate line graphs.   In this middle school mathematics lesson, students compare and contrast different types of graphs and create line graphs based on the data provided.

Students explore the characteristics of a pure sound wave produced by a tuning fork. They use sine waves to find a curve to fit the sound wave data produced by the tuning fork. A CBL and microphone is required for this activity.

In this math worksheet, students collaborate to make a class bar graph which will display data on favorite leisure time activities. Students survey their classmates and plot the results on the graph. Six choices are given: games, read,...

Young scholars create spreadsheets which will display and figure mean, median, and mode of a set of numbers.

Students identify the effect caused by change of employment and education. In this statistics lesson, students analyze data and draw conclusions. This assignment tests students' ability to use data correctly.

Sixth graders plan and conduct an experiment on food spoilage. They design the experiment, create a display, record and analyze data, and make inferences regarding the results of the experiment.

Students investigate polling. For this statistics lesson, students collect data-on polling and graph their data on a coordinate plane. They identify biased and non-biased polling.

Students visit a 2nd and a 4th grade class to measure the heights of older students using large building blocks as a non-standard unit of measure. They can also measure adults in the school community. Results are displayed in...

Fourth graders design a brochure based on the planet that they researched. In this planets lesson plan, 4th graders include the data, important facts, and completed as a team.

Students research six different mathematicians using Internet resources. They examine the contributions of different cultures, women, and one that made a significant to geometry. They present their research to the class.

Young scholars engage in a lab that focuses on animal behavior in an open ended inquiry based laboratory experience. They build an ethogram, display a transition matrix and analyze a Markov Chain. They remove wings from the drosophila...

Learners engage in a lesson about finding the values of different graphs written in the vertex form. They rewrite each quadratic equation in vertex form while graphing the equation with the visual display of a parabola that matches the...

Students complete a unit of lessons on ecosystems. They participate in online activities, create a diorama, write journal entries, and develop a Hyperstudio multimedia project on a selected ecosystem.

Students plot the general distribution of major fossil hominid taxa on a small black and white world map using data provided. They infer a continent of origin and likely path of migration using a worksheet guide and small group discussion.

Students review data from a 24-hour dietary recall to gain an understanding of the information regarding energy intake and macronutrients.

Students create and display a scientific poster in the same format that scientists use at a research symposium. They compile data and make conclusions about the classification of the Arizona Hedgehog Cactus as an endangered species. ...

Students converse with each other while playing a game in order to discover things that are alike and things that are different about themselves. The students gather data about themselves, organize and display data on the graph, and...

As an introductory activity, young statisticians measure their heart rate at rest and after exercise and compute the mean and median, and create a box & whisker plot.  This is followed by watching a video (that no longer seems...
