Students collect water samples from designated sampling stations, and discuss water pollution. They analyze the water samples, record the data on a spreadsheet, and present the environmental water quality data to the class.

In this math worksheet, students transfer digit data from graphics. They draw the graphic and color it using digital codes for specific colors. There are 2 questions.

Students examine the characteristics of the ocean floor and the importance of of extreme environments.  In this investigative instructional activity students use four methods to sample populations, gather, record and analyze data...

Pupils use the scientific method to determine the properties of various kinds of paints, use collected data to identify paint samples that are not properly labeled and use proper science safety techniques while working with chemical...

Students compare water quality of different sources. They test water samples for odor, phosphates, pH, bacteria, and dissolved solids. they fill out a data table and answer questions about their findings.

Students conduct surveys to determine when spring occurs in the minds of people in their area. They organize and interpret their data.

Pupils gather information about how people in their community make a living through surveys and interviews, organize the data, and create a Jobs on File notebook for completed surveys.

Students examine the factors that affect the accuracy of opinion surveys. They calculate probability and chance using data they have collected. They practice reading tables and graphs as well.

Students determine the mass, volume, and density of two different mineral samples. Students show data and calculations as well as answer questions about the mineral identities.

Young scholars organize data collected from their experiments using graphs. For this statistics and biology lesson, students organize their scientific data from an article into readable graphs. They define the usefulness of their graph...

Students work together to complete a research project on Harry Potter. They write a research question and develop a survey to give to their classmates. Using the results, they create a graph and draw conclusions about the data collected.

Pupils graph and outline the path of a typhoon. In this algebra lesson, students measure the path of the typhoon and create a graph with their data. They analyze the data and make predictions.

Seventh graders follow a step-by-step guide for using graphing calculator to determine equations which best fit data graphed. They gather data from various sites on the web, or they do searches to find information necessary to complete...

Eighth graders use M&M's to experiment with data. They use a graphing calculator to determine the best equation for their data; linear, quadratic or exponential. They analyze the data to find the half-life of their M&M's.

Students follow directions for a simple chemical experiment. They use the appropriate tools and techniques to gather, analyze, and interpret data. Students identify a substance that has characteristic properties, such as density, a...

Students collect and plot data on a graph. In this statistics instructional activity, students analyze the distribution of a sample and predict the outcome. They find the line of best fit and discuss what would make the sample larger.

Students work in groups to remove fossils from sediments, classifying as many organisms and parts of organisms as possible into major groups. They study the data from each formation and make conclusions about the types of organisms and...

Students examine the diet of panthers. In this interpreting data lesson, students collect data on the panther's diet and chart the data in bar and pie graphs.
