Lead your biology class on a cell-sized adventure! Emerging scientists construct models of prokaryotes, then design an experiment to properly grow a bacterial culture. They conclude the activity by viewing the culture under a microscope....

Students converse with each other while playing a game in order to discover things that are alike and things that are different about themselves. The students gather data about themselves, organize and display data on the graph, and...

Students collect, graph and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students compare data using different types of graphs. They make predictions, draw conjectures as they analyze bulbs used in a holiday light set.

Students compile statistics from high school or other football team and construct a spreadsheet on which to record their findings. Using Chart Wizard to analyze the data, they construct charts and graphs for a visual display of the...

Students use family names to gather and analyze data. In this counting lesson, students use graph paper to help organize their data and then, in a staircase fashion, organize the names from longest to shortest so they can answer...

Students construct spreadsheets from raw data. In this spreadsheet construction lesson, students compile data into Microsoft Excel. Students familiarize themselves with entering and presenting data in a spreadsheet.

First graders complete activities with the story One Monday Morning in the Macmillan/McGraw Hill Textbook. In this data lesson, 1st graders read the story and gather data to create a picture graph. They read the graph and answer...

Students analyze a bag of Valentine candy to create a graph. In this graphing lesson, students make predictions, sort by color, record data and make a graph. Students discuss results and make generalizations. Students generate their own...

Students estimate and then count the number of each color of M&M's in their bag. In this mathematics lesson, students find the experimental probability of selecting each color from the bag. Students create pictographs and bar graphs...

Scholars explore the relationship between circumference and diameter. Groups of learners measure the diameter and circumference of round objects and record their data on a given worksheet. They then input the data into their graphing...

Students analyze data using central tendencies. In this statistics lesson, students collect and analyze data using the mean, median and mode. They create a power point representing the different measures of central tendency.

Students compile information on volcanic activity at Mount St. Helens.  In this earth science lesson, students use the information they gathered on Mount St. Helens to answer questions and create charts in Excel.  Then students...

Students perform a science experiment. In this algebra lesson, students collect data from their experiment and create a graph. They analyze the graph and draw conclusion.

Students gather statistical information on a chosen topic and place it into a spreadsheet. Using th Excel chart wizard, students create tables, graphs and charts of their information. They interpret the data and share it with the class.

Students analyze data representing real life scenarios.In this algebra lesson, students collect, plot and analyze data using a graph. They use different methods to represent and present their data.

Fifth graders create/use spreadsheets to solve real-world problems, explore patterns and make predictions, select/explain most appropriate types of graph to display data, and enter data into a prepared spreadsheet to perform calculations.

Students evaluate the six trigonometric values of a trig function. In this trigonometry lesson, students use the Unit Circle to find the values of right triangles and their angles. They identify an angle of elevation and...

Students use concrete and pictorial representation of geometric patterns to extend patterns. In this geometric patterns lesson plan, students identify patterns and extend them.

As an introductory activity, young statisticians measure their heart rate at rest and after exercise and compute the mean and median, and create a box & whisker plot.  This is followed by watching a video (that no longer seems...

Focusing on this algebra instructional activity, learners relate quadratic equations in factored form to their solutions and their graph from a number of different aspects. In some problems, one starts with the original equation and...

Students map and describe small area of the schoolyard and discuss habitats.

Make your lesson on radioactive decay pop with this lab exercise. Using popcorn kernels spread over a tabletop, participants pick up all of those that point toward the back of the room, that is, those that represent decayed atoms. As the...

Third graders display information in a graph, table, and chart. In this data lesson plan, 3rd graders look at graphs, tables, and charts, discuss their importance, and make their own.

Students collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make inferences from the collected data. They display their data using graphs, bar graphs, circles graphs and Venn diagrams.
