Students define fluctuation and the price of food. In this algebra lesson plan, students create a budget to live on based on their living expenses. They create a chart and explore the cause and effect of real life scenarios.

Eighth graders practice making observations and collecting data after determining a baseline pulse rate then collect data on the changes in that rate with exercise. Students must organize their data and analyze their observations.

Learners identify the basic transformations of parent functions. They use their graphing calculator to create a transformation booklet by folding a sheet of computer paper in half and stapling along the folded edge.

Students investigate how weather affects how plants grow. They collect data on weather and plant growth for a week and display the data on a graph. For a culminating experience they design a movie using software that shows plant growth...

Learners analyze cloud cover and to compose written conclusions to a given related scenario. They submit a letter of response and a report detailing their calculations and conclusions.

Students recognize different cloud types. They determine the seaonality of various types of clouds. They graph the data and determine if a correlation exists between season, cloud cover and type of clouds most prevalent during each season.

High schoolers view a video on AIDS, HIV and the ways in which HIV is spread. They discuss ways to avoid contracting HIV and participate in a simulation that shows the growth of a communicable disease.

Sixth graders construct a rule about the number of sides found in a pattern of hexagons. In this mathematical problem solving instructional activity, 6th graders observe different hexagon patterns and create a rule about the relationship...

First graders go on a water walk, collect weather data, and measure rainfall for a month. They examine the water cycle in this series of lessons.

Students measure the effect of water temperature on the rate of a chemical reaction, similar to the interaction of a weak acid and carbonate rock, using hot water and effervescent antacid tablets.

Young scholars build an aquatic ecosystem using large glass pickle jars.  In this ecology lesson, students build and ecosystem then observe and collect data on the habitats.   In this long term project young scholars...

Pupils investigate probability.  In this fourth through sixth grade mathematics lesson, students collect, organize and display data in an appropriate chart or graph as they calculate and apply basic probability. 

Students identify variables that affect the system, and specify which variables are independent and which are dependent.

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.

Fifth graders discuss the relationship between equivalent fractions, ratios, and proportions. In this fraction lesson, 5th graders answer questions about a punch mixture in order to find the ratio of ingredients.

Students sort shoes. In this sorting lesson, students use shoes to explore attributes and practice sorting. This lesson encourages the use of a Venn Diagram to aide in student sorting.

Young scholars observe life stages in flour beetles and graph the results. They write a summary report.

Students explore the concept of animal welfare. In this wild animal habitats activity, students discover the work of wild animals in sustaining their habitats as they participate in a classroom simulation. Students discuss how wildlife...

Students identify five major ocean currents and identify the correlation between ocean circulation and prevailing winds.

First graders measure how a shadow changes over the course of a day. They write about what they would do if they lost their shadow, and make silhouettes of themselves. Students make up a shadow dance and read stories about shadows.

Students review the characteristics of wetlands and list their benefits. After viewing short videos, they identify the organims that make their home in wetlands and how they have adapted. They compare and contrast the characteristics...

Eighth graders analyze different water samples given to them by their teacher.

Students investigate probability using coins and dice. They collect data, graph, organize and interpret data. They predict, describe, compare, compute and draw conclusions based on what they observe and record.

Students sort a bag of M&M candies according to color using a sorting mat. They count M&M candies. They compare the number to their prediction then students create tally charts.
