Students explain how a feedback control system works. They model a feedback control mechanism for controlling water level by observing the flow rate of water in a cylinder. In addition, they graph their data. Script for lesson is included.

Students test a hypothesis to see if there is a direct correlation between number of hours of TV viewing and academic grade. They collect and compile data to enter on a spreadsheet and create a word processing document supporting their...

Students solve problems using graphs to list and interpret data. Each student construct his or her own graph using art paper and markers. They be given a set of information to apply to their graphs and interpret their findings.

Fourth graders examine the required combinations of plates and predict which combination will generate the most and least current and voltage. They use an ammeter and experiment with combinations of their own testing and record each...

Pupils identify the line of best fit. For this statistics lesson, students collect and analyze data. They calculate the regression equations and identify the different types of correlation.

Sixth graders explore area and perimeter. In this online interactive area and perimeter lesson, 6th graders investigate why the perimeter of rectangles can vary considerably even when the area is held constant. Students construct...

Young scholars investigate how effective SNEAK strategies are in detecting hackers. In this technology lesson plan, students explain the ethical issues about hacking. They graph and analyze their experimental results.

Students observe a pendulum and graph their observation. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calcualtor to graph the motion the pendulum makes. They analyze the graph and make predictions.

Students use calculators and "by hand" techniques to compare models of real-life data situations, determine the best model for a situation, and use their models to make predictions.

Learners solve linear equations by modeling. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve one and two step inequalities and equations. They use manipulative to create a visual of the steps.

Investigate Alzheimer's disease. Conduct research using a variety of resources, obtain information, and input the data into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Identify trends in the data and categorize them for an audience.

Youngsters become familiar with zoo animals. They sort them into categories, and choose an animal to act out. Two zoo centers are created in the classroom that have examples of the animals for the pupils to play with. Then, they choose...

Students prepare a classroom weathercast and present a broadcast.

Students create their own pie chart about their total health, being comprised of physical, social, and mental health. They label each section physical, social, and mental, and label each section with the percentage they are trying to...

Students investigate road surface and calculate speed. In this algebra lesson, students analyze the roughness of a road and calculate distance and speed based on friction. They relate friction and energy to speed.

Third graders participate in an election project. They collect data to create a spreadsheet from which a graph is generated.

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 read from the Bible about the travels of Paul, particularly the boat rides. They trace Paul's travels on a map of Asia Minor. Students review a field trip they took and make a graph showing the numbers of each type of boat they...

Students, after reading the explanation given below, use FoilSim and a graphing calculator to complete the activity to determine the relationship between airspeed and lift of an object by interpreting data.

Students graph the relationship between the release point and the final position of curveballs and fastballs thrown by both right and left handers given a constant speed, and explain the relationships illustrated by the graphs of data.

Students read a book about understanding differences.  In this getting to know you instructional activity, students sit in a circle, roll a ball to each other and tell one thing about themselves when they get the ball. ...

Young scholars study mean, median, and mode. They construct paper airplanes and test them to see how far they fly. They measure the distance and then find the averages of their throws. They use spreadsheet software to record the data...

Students predict the speeds of humans and hermit crabs and investigate their predictions using ratios and formulas. AppleWorks is used for this instructional activity, which includes a data worksheet.

Students discover the life cycle of butterfly by observing its growth from egg to caterpillar and the formation of its chrysalis. Students conduct an experiment in which they design housing for the chrysalises which are either in full...
