Students collect data, interpret data summarize proportional reasoning. Students determine (with various alternate goods) the number of fish in a nearby pond. Students capture the goldfish crackers, deal with pretzels and then write...

In this Hubble's law worksheet, students use data for galaxies which include their distance and speed. Students make a graph to show the distance to each galaxy and the speed of each galaxy. They use their graph to answer 4 questions...

Students look at data to understand how it is interpreted by scientists.  In this satellite sense lesson, students complete worksheets based on radar and satellite images. Students work in groups of two to diagram a landform.

In this probability learning exercise, students determine the empirical probability based on specific sample data.  The one page learning exercise contains three problems.  Solutions are provided. 

Learners monitor a local creek. In this environmental water lesson, students conduct an environmental study of a local creek by monitoring the temperature and water quality over a period of time, then submit data to the Global Water...

First graders analyze nursery rhymes and gather data about word frequency. In this frequency lesson, 1st graders create graphs and tables. Students interpret the data.

Students become competent, to collect, record, and interpret information about a particular project they are undertaking. They apply the data and interpret them to analyze the environmental impact of a restoration project.

Students explore the concept of climate. They use temperature and precipitation data from their area and other regions to construct climate graphs. These graphs are used to help identify factors that influence climate.

Students investigate climate changes by graphing and analyzing ice core data from Greenland and Antarctica. They create, explain and report the pattern of data on a graph of ice core data. In addition they find relationships between the...

Learners collect data, organize and analyze the data and compare it to real life scenarios. This assignment requires two class periods.

Students study bogs. They tour, collect physical, chemical, and biological data and analyze a pristine bog community. Using the data, they draw a map and a cross section of the bog.

Fourth graders study the basic meteorological instruments (thermometer, barometer, weather vane, anemometer, and rain gauge). They explore how they are used, data that can be collected from them, and why records of the data are kept.

Young scholars gather high and low temperature readings through email. In this temperature graphing lesson, students use a spreadsheet to input data for a graph. young scholars interpret the graphs to compare and contrast the data from...

In this ecosystem worksheet, young scholars use a string and make a large circle. Everything in the circle is part of the ecosystem the students will study. They identify everything in their ecosystem and classify their data. They answer...

Fifth graders use the dots to simulate water pollutants in a lake. They use cups to collect a sample of "water." Students sort the dots by color and record the number of each dot color under the correct pollutant name in the Lake Water...

Students collect data by playing a game that illustrates the delicate ecological balance between fishing, fishing regulations and fish populations. They graph and analyze the data and explain how economic decisions can affect the...

In this lead blood levels worksheet, students use mathematics to determine the source of lead poisoning in children. They are given data, they analyze the data and they graph the blood level measurements vs. the mean blood lead level in...

High schoolers investigate marine life by researching aquatic organisms on the Internet. In this oceanography lesson, students monitor algae and animals of the ocean by identifying their population and habitat on data sheet ID cards....

Young scholars perform operations and graph their data using charts and bar graphs. In this algebra lesson, students follow specific steps to make a bar graph. They create a survey about people favorite things and plot their data...

Young scholars compare differences in amino acids in the beta hemoglobin from representative primates, complete a matrix of those differences, and from these data, construct and interpret cladograms as they reflect relationships and...

For this Boyle's Law worksheet, students investigate the relationship between the pressure and the volume of a gas at constant temperature. They use a syringe and a pressure gauge attached to a computer to collect their data. They create...

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders determine the measures of central tendency for a given data set.  The one page worksheet contains four problems.  Answers are provided. 

Students generate a radioactive decay table for an imaginary element using a box filled with pinto beans and M&M's. They use their data to plot a decay graph, develop the concept of half-life, and use the graph to "age" several samples.

Statisticians take things to new heights using a set of height measurements. Students use TI-82 or TI-83 calculators to determine extreme values and the median for the data. They also construct a box-and-whisker plot to summarize the...
