Students examine the benefits of the space program to our life on earth.  In this space exploration lesson students participate in a lab, answer questions and study radar mapping. 

Young scholars, in groups of four,identify and analyze relationships among birds within a population, a community and an urban ecosystem. They fill out, while they're completing their experiments, a Populations of Birds Student Data Sheet.

Students practice making graphs and interpreting them. They compare and contrast different sets of data. They use Microsoft Excel to create different types of graphs.

Students create and analyze graphs using archived atmospheric data to compare the ozone levels of selected regions around the world.

Seventh graders investigate scientific methods to solve problems. They demonstrate creating data tables and graphs. They study the role of a scientist and the importance of safety in a science lab. They distinguish between an...

Young scholars explore the differences between surface water and ground water. They collect data using maps and graphs and investigate a Texas river basin and a nearby aquifer. They complete a written report including maps and data...

Students discover how to find the mean, median, and mode from sets of data. By using statistical techniques such as whisker plots and bar graphs, they display the data gleaned from problems. Individually, students complete projects...

Students practice data collection skills by observing common bugs found in their local environment. Once the data is collected they complete data sheets to compare, contrast, sort, and classify the insects. The lesson includes...

Students collect, record, and graph the sunrise and sunset times. They explain how the relationship between the tilt of Earth's axis and its yearly orbit around the sun produces the seasons.

Students make predictions using given data, writing a linear equation from given data, and using a linear equation to predict later behavior.

Students discover the motion of a sphere on an inclined plane and discover basic relationships involving distance, time, speed(velocity), and acceleration.

Students gather and organize data. In this radioactive decay curve lesson, students gather data as they follow the provided procedures for rolling dice. Students chart their data and examine interval results.

Third graders, in groups, dissect a variety of brands of chocolate chip cookies and calculate the mean for each brand. They create their own bar graphs, pictographs, and line graphs to represent information.

Sixth graders construct a rule about the number of sides found in a pattern of hexagons. In this mathematical problem solving lesson, 6th graders observe different hexagon patterns and create a rule about the relationship between the...

Fourth graders investigate magnetism and the magnetic force.
