Students will understand key concepts of data analysis and their graphic representations. Students will construct and interpret data tables, line plots, box-and-whisker plots and stem-and-leaf plots, scatterplots with line of best fit,...

This lesson uses stacking cubes as a way to graph precipitation data, comparing the precipitation averages and seasonal patterns for several locations. Variations on the lesson can accommodate various ages and ability levels. Students...

In this self-directed lesson, young scholars use graphs and maps of water quality to investigate relationships between variables to answer questions. A handout with everything the student needs to complete this lesson is available as a...

Statistical data on the population and demographics of 228 countries, including change, sex ratios, life expectancy, and percent with HIV/AIDS. There are also detailed explanations of the means of producing these statistics. It is...

This lesson looks at how to recognize patterns in a data display by examining the shape of a graph, the center, the spread, and unusual features such as outliers. Includes video. [11:16]

Test your knowledge of working with data by taking this twenty question multiple-choice practice test. Use a graphing calculator to help with any graphing problems and check your answers at any given time throughout the test.

This task challenges a student to use their understanding of scale to read and interpret data in a bar graph.

This task challenges a student to demonstrate understanding of concepts involved in representing and interpreting data.

Enter a set of data points, then derive a function to fit those points. Manipulate the function on a coordinate plane using slider bars. Learn how each constant and coefficient affects the resulting graph.

Given data in the form of a graph, the student will use the graph to interpret solutions to problems.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Here you will explore displays of data using bar charts, histograms, pie charts and boxplots, and learn about the differences and similarities between them and how...

The importance of data analysis in science projects is explained. Describes common mistakes young scientists make. The article then discusses how to find out what the standard methods of data analysis are for the type of research you...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson, students compare different types of graphic displays to understand how to choose the best method of displaying their data, and they learn the...

In this self-directed lesson, students use maps and graphs of data to investigate the habitats and time of year and day to hear a full chorus of frogs. A handout with everything the student needs to complete this lesson is available as a...

This task challenges a student to use knowledge of scale to organize and represent data from a table on a graph.

This interactive exercise focuses on how line graphs can be used to represent mathematical data and provides an opportunity to translate actions from a story into graph form, then to write your own story to coincide with a line graph.

Given an experimental situation, the student will write linear functions that provide a reasonable fit to data to estimate the solutions and make predictions.

Given a problem situation, the student will analyze data presented in graphical or tabular form by evaluating the predictions and conclusions based on the information given.

Students use an interactive map to compare environmental conditions in different estuaries around the National Estuarine Research Reserve System. A second activity allows students to use the Graphing Tool to find, select, and graph data...

Students will calculate energy, frequency, or wavelength. After calculating, students graph their data and answer analysis questions.

A comprehensive guide for learning all about scatter plots with definitions, how to construct and solve them, types of scatter plots, solved examples, and practice questions.

In this comprehensive lesson unit, young scholars examine how overfishing has affected Chesapeake Bay's ecosystem. They will study food webs from the past and present and graph related data.

Using the same method for measuring friction that was used in the previous lesson (Discovering Friction), students design and conduct an experiment to determine if weight added incrementally to an object affects the amount of friction...

Multiple graphs can represent the same data set and make the information easier to understand.
