Students explore probability.  In this statistics/probability lesson, students compare experimental and theoretical probability and use experimental probability to make predictions and conjectures.  Students explore the...

Students predict results, design a model, and carry out trials to determine probability based on their experimentation.

Students discuss sound and how it's measured, and through experimentation and implementation of the scientific method, they determine the speed of sound.

Young scholars collect experimental data and record it on a frequency table. After accessing an Internet coin toss simulation site they discover that repetition of an experiment may result in different outcomes. They identify the...

Students investigate the concept of a thermodynamic system. The difference between a state and phase is defined as part of the experimental explanations given in writing. Students conduct experiments to demonstrate laws of science like...

High schoolers explore the behavior of crickets during courtship. They measure the number and types of interactions between household crickets. Students discriminate between quantitative and qualitative observations. They collect data...

Students explore the reasoning and experimental approaches to mutations. They expose a culture of E. coli to virulent bacteriophage and observe whether mutations of the cells existed previously or if the bacteria mutated as a response...

In this data worksheet, students learn how to organize the data collected during an experiment and practice finding patterns. Students graph a table of experimental data and complete 1 short answer question.

In this collecting and analyzing data worksheet, students collect data from an experimental investigation about the relationship between the color of a Tootsie Roll Pop and the time it takes to get to the chocolate center. ...

For this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders compare and contrast experimental probability and theoretical probability. The two page worksheet contains explanation of topic, worked examples, and seven practice problems. Answers are...

Students differentiate between theoretical and experimental probability. In this probability lesson, students create a puzzle and calculate the probability of an event occurring. They use problems dealing real life scenarios.

Students study Georg Ohm and how he changed mathematics with his law.  In this experimental evidence and stastics lesson students complete an experiment on the characteristics of Ohm's law. 

Learners consider the question," Is more expensive more absorbent?" In this science lesson plan, students find out through experimentation which paper towel is the most absorbent as well as which one is the best cost value for their money.

Learners explore the rebound of balls. In this energy conversion lesson, students explore the physics behind the rebound of various types of sports balls. Through the experimental design process using balloons, learners investigate and...

Students define and explain the basic concepts of experimental design.  In this scientific method lesson students complete a hands on activity, develop and present proposals to test their explanations. 

Students analyze William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying. In this literature analysis lesson, students compare a modern novel and play. Students analyze Faulkner's interior monologues. Students write a paper about the ways As I Lay Dying is or...

Students examine how to prepare an experimental procedure.  In this scientific method lesson students conduct an investigation on phosphate.

Pupils calculate the chance of an event occurring. In this statistics activity, students use combination and permutation to calculate the probability of an event occurring. They differentiate between theoretical and experimental...

Students observe exothermic reactions in the lab using plaster. In this chemistry lesson, students collect data from their experimental set up every five minutes. They explain the different stages in the hardening of plaster.

First graders observe, predict, and record food consumption and growth of insects through experimentation with caterpillar diets. They relate their findings to their own growth and diet.

Second graders identify human and insect senses and where they are located on the body. They maintain a cricket terrarium for experimentation. They realize the value of the senses by observing, recording, discussing and drawing conclusions.

Students demonstrate that setting of plaster and cement is a change, which involves a release of heat energy, use data collected experimentally to construct comparison graphs and analyze the graphs to make predictions about future...

Students see that light and heavy objects fall at the same rate, as established experimentally by Galileo. They see that falling objects, and balls rolling down an incline, tend to accelerate at a constant rate a. Their velocity...

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