Students study patterns of population growth in an ecosystem and why populations must remain in balance. They interpret basic population graphs and suggest scenarios about different population growth patterns in an ecosystem.

Young scholars review the Scientific Method with a hands-on activity. Working with a partner, they hypothesize the number of water drops that fit on the heads side of a penny. They collect data and share their results with the...

Pupils read the book Big Block of Chocolate and complete language arts activities associated with it. In this language arts lesson plan, learners read the book as a read aloud or shared reading, and can compete writing, reading,...

Students investigate earthquakes by examining chart data.   In this disasters lesson, students identify the waves that are recorded when an earthquake arises by reading sample graphs in class.  Students participate in an...

Second graders create a graph about TV watching. In this bar graph lesson plan, 2nd graders make a hypothesis about how much TV 2nd graders watch per week. They record their TV watching for a week and bring it to school to create a class...

In this New York state math test worksheet, 4th graders complete multiple choice questions on money, multiplication, graphs, and more. Students complete 39 questions.

Students work to improve reading fluency. They complete one-minute timed readings with a partner--one student reads and the other times him using a stopwatch. They reverse roles several times and then repeat, documenting their progress.

In this bats worksheet, students click on the link to read a story about bats and then answer short answer questions, take a survey, and create graphs about it. Students complete 4 tasks total.

Analyze data on a graph to answer three questions after a robot race. Learners practice comparing ratios and reading points on a graph. Answers may vary on the last question based on accuracy of graphing. Use the lesson along with...

Take a closer look at increasing and decreasing behavior by zooming in on graphs. An AP® Calculus reference document examines how increasing/decreasing behavior should be considered in terms of intervals rather than points. The resource...

Students participate in a WebQuest in which they must determine which amusement park is the "median priced" park. Students visit park websites to accumulate prices for parking, activities, restaurants, and gift shops.

A car traveling down a steep hill is the model for this resource. The confusion comes when the elevation, E, is given in terms of distance, d. The distance, d, is the horizontal distance from E. Therefore, the equation, E = 7500 – 250d,...

Learners compare and contrast two routes selected for a virtual field trip. They create a data table of educational activities, lodging, and meal costs using Microsoft Excel software.

Locating and synthesizing information is an essential part of the research process but can be overwhelming for many young writers. Eliminate some of the stress and confusion, this resource suggests, by separating these steps. To focus...

Class members explore how to read and use histograms by watching a video on creating and analyzing histograms. To finish, the class works on a set of questions that tests these skills.

In this data collection worksheet, learners read the word problem and study the tally chart about favorite sports. Students then use the information in the chart to answer the questions. Learners then use the list about students'...

Students interpret and create different types of graphs. They analyze data from charts, develop a survey and design appropriate graphic illustrations and make a presentation.

Fourth graders conduct surveys to collect data. They analyze and interpret the data, then determine which type of graph is appropriate for the data. Students use the data to make predictions, discover patterns and draw conclusions...

Students discuss the uses of graphs. They use color candies to count and sort before designing graphs. They label the graph papers with appropriate titles and candy colors. They complete the graph bars, and discuss the results with a...

Students create a hands-on graph then complement this by making a computerized version of the same graph using Graph Club. They read various graphs, so as to be more prepared for state exams which require this concept.

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 learn about the Cartesian coordinate plane, understand the four quadrants of the Cartesian coordinate plane, and plot points on the plane. Students read coordinates for a point from a graph and give the ratio of rise over run...

Students gain practice reading coordinates and plotting points by participating in the Coordinates! Game. They demonstrate and test their skills with graph paper and the Maze Game.

First graders use their knowledge of weather symbols to organize and construct a graph of the daily weather for one month. Each student have a chance to give the daily weather report using Sammy's Science House Computer Software.
