Young scholars identify the mean, median and mode of collected data. In this statistics lesson plan, students collect, graph and analyze data using central tendencies. They work in groups to collect data on a robot through an...

Students collect and record data for a given city. They calculate standard deviation of temperature and analyze the impact of climate changes on a city's and culture.

First graders construct a class picture graph and tally grid that show their favorite zoo animals. They discuss the information the graphs show and complete a personal graph based on the class example.

First graders explore counting and classification. They sort leaves, create graphs, write sentences for the data in the graphs, develop graphs for shapes, favorite animals, birthdays, and participate in a die prediction game.

Students examine population growth and collect data. In this statistics instructional activity, students create a scatter plot to represent the different species found in the water and are being harvested. They graph their data and draw...

Eighth graders study the scientific fields and how information can be monitored and recorded.  In this scientific inquiry lesson students view a PowerPoint presentation and complete a hands on activity. 

Fourth graders study different types of graphs as a means of displaying information. They survey others to find their favorite Thanksgiving food and then graph the results using different types of graphs.

Students explore the cost of wasted water. In this math activity, students conduct an experiment in which they collect data on how much water is lost when a faucet leaks. Students figure the cost of the water that was wasted.

Fourth graders conduct an experiment demonstrating the effects of water and air temperature on precipitation. They create graphs demonstrating their findings using Claris Works for Kids.

Students conduct an experiment dealing with momentum, energy and collisions in order to collect usable data sets. Data sets gathered are graphed and used to calculate conservation of momentum, amount of energy change, and classify the...

Eleventh graders write a paragraph about what they are going to do after graduating from high school. As a class, they share how they are going to meet their goals and discuss other options other than going to college. To end the lesson,...

Fifth graders explore how to use data and display it using a chart or graph. They use food choices for categories and then gather the data and use the provided chart for display. In small groups students discuss the data and the results.

Students explore the relationship between two variables. Students measure their arm span and height. They gather this class data to design a scatter plot. Students interpret the meaning of individual coordinates and the overall graph....

Students, after reading the explanation given below, use FoilSim to gather and record data on temperature and altitude generated by the FoilSim control panel.

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

Fourth graders discover the appropriate way to construct and analyze bar, line, picto, and circle graphs. They set up frequency tables and perform some statistical analysis (mean, median, and mode) on their data.

Students study the difference between weather and climate.  In this climate systems lesson students search the Internet for the parts of the Earth's system, gather climate data and complete a challenge scenario. 

Students collect and analyze data.  In this middle school mathematics lesson, students collect data on three to four traits or favorites.  Students analyze their data and create a chart of graph for each trait or favorite they...

Young scholars use ClarisWorks to graph class' favorite candy bars on a bar graph.

Students calculate the radius of the earth. They use the method and data suggested by Eratosthenes. They investigate the interrelationships among mass, distance, force, and time through experimental processes.

Students investigate gender bias in the work place.  In this secondary mathematics lesson, students gather research on the current statistics about a profession which focuses on the female//male ratios and the pay scale of the...

Fourth graders are introduced to the concept of the seasonal round and how folklife traditions vary from season to season. They begin charting dates of personal interest on seasonal round calendars by starting with birthdays. Students...

Learners compare NASA satellite data observations with student surface measurements of snow cover and temperature. They practice data collection, data correlations, and making scientific predictions.

Pupils design a PowerPoint presentation using six slides that include a title, a picture and five positive attributes about the student. They include the specified pictures and describe how they relate to themselves.
