In this density graph worksheet, students graph data displayed in a chart. Students also calculate the density of each metal shown in the graph. Students answer questions about which detail is more dense.

Students investigate the effects of urban pollution on plankton. In this plankton and pollution lesson plan, students use samples of plankton collected in urban areas to observe the effects of pollution on plankton samples. They...

Students collect data from one of three selected biomes. Data are then organized and statistically analyzed. This project engages students of different backgrounds grouped cooperatively in a relevant outdoor hands-on learning experience.

Students view and analyze buoy, satellite, temperature vs depth data to study about ocean circulation and how is related to atmospheric circulation. They read and interpret satellite image data related to: Surface wind speeds, Wave...

Students surf the Web gathering information about graphs. The data collected is incorporated into an Excel spreadsheet and graphs of varying nature generated to further enhance student understanding.

Students formulate hypothesis based upon data gathered by examining possible crosses of spiderworts using Punnett squares. They present explanations for physiological adaptations of spiderworts that resulted from interactions within the...

Students investigate and observe small animal activity on a plot of land on their school grounds. In small groups they identify the five kingdoms of animals, stake out a small plot of ground, collect samples, record and analyze any data...

Learners conduct probability experiments.  in this number lesson, students use spinners and conduct probability experiments.  They collect and organize data on talley sheets.

Students are introduced to the concept of specific heat. In groups, they are given a set of data showing the temperatures of air and soil samples in which they calculate the ranges of the data. They identify whether the air or soil...

In this math/science worksheet, learners will work in pairs to conduct an experiment based on a decay function which is often used to model radioactive decay. Students will shake M & M's in a cup to rub off the M and then record...

Young scholars collect species data from a mock intertidal community. In this biology lesson, students graph their data and analyze the species in it. They construct a species accumulation curve and present it to class.

Students learn how to count animal populations by the Mark and Recapture method. In this counting animal populations lesson plan, students begin by predicting amounts of different candies in a jar. Students then simulate using beans, two...

Students collect data and graph it. In this algebra lesson, students create a survey for their classmates and teachers. They analyze the results from the survey and graph it. They draw conclusion from their data based on the graph.

Students research and gather information on immigration, synthesizing the data they find.

Students examine how populations grow and how invasive species can affect the balance of ecosystems. They simulate the growth of lily pads, analyze and record the data, and simulate the results of an invasive species on an ecosystem.

Students investigate water pollution. They develop an understanding of the behavior of organisms, of the structure and properties of matter, and of natural and human induced hazards by conducting lab tests. They present their data...

Students explain the concept of paleoclimatological proxies. In this oxygen isotope lesson, students interpret data and make inferences about climate changes in the geologic past.

Students examine how the school food program compares to the food pyramid recommendations. In this food pyramid lesson, students compile data regarding the food choices available in the school through the lunch program and vending...

Students investigate data about America's trash production. In this environmental instructional activity, students use statistics about what we throw away to create an art pie chart project called a "trash pizza."

Seventh graders examine force and motion. In this seventh grade mathematics/science lesson, 7th graders collect and analyze data regarding the use of an atlatl to throw a spear. Students describe and analyze the motion which leads to the...

Learners survey the class and graph the results. In this graphing and data collection lesson, students conduct a survey to see where their shirts were produced. Individuals use software to graph the results and create a written...

Tenth graders create journals on their spending habits. In this money-management lesson plan, 10th graders create and keep journals of their personal income and expenditures. Students learn to use Excel to create a spreadsheet for their...

Second graders make sampling predictions, predict outcomes and explore probability through experimentation.

Students plot the earthquake epicenter data on the base map of the North Atlantic ocean floor using different symbols or colors to characterize different values.
