Students interpret data on snow cover and analyze trend patterns. In this snow lesson students compare data and locate their school's GPS coordinates.

Students collect and compare bugs using magnifying lenses and graph data based on their comparisons. In this bugs lesson plan, students also make an aspirator by using a jar, tubing, and screen.

Students investigate solar energy by making sun tea.  In this ecology and solar energy lesson, students prepare traditional tea and "sun" tea, then record and graph data comparing color, clarity, smell and taste.

For any science class, learners can use this lab sheet to plan an experiment. It includes a space for the title, question, materials, setup, and procedure. If you want your class to complete this in typed form, you can provide the web...

Students explore the concept of climate. They use temperature and precipitation data from their area and other regions to construct climate graphs. These graphs are used to help identify factors that influence climate.

Second graders work in groups to identify what types of trees create which types of leaves  In this plant life lesson plan, 2nd graders analyze a set of leaves and identify the tree it came from while graphing the data in a science...

Fifth graders recognize the need to follow the scientific method carefully and be aware of variables in experiments.  For this airplane lesson, 5th graders design and test an airplane, and complete a data sheet. Students retest five...

For this data tables worksheet, students make and interpret data tables given data about magazine sales. They categorize their data, complete their data table and answer questions about their data.

Young scholars identify trends and characteristics of climate zones and specific places within. Then, they graph annual climate trends (primarily Temperature and Precipitation) and create, interpret and extrapolate information based on...

Young scholars investigate the skin surface to body area ratios for different animals.  In this seventh/eighth grade mathematics/science lesson, students explore heat transfer between an animal’s body and the environment. ...

Middle schoolers learn about transect lines through a study of marine debris.  In this marine debris lesson, students calculate the items on a transect line and graph them.  Middle schoolers complete a category worksheet.

Students study water resources that are important to the people of North American and Africa. They use satellite images and data to explore how human actions can degrade, improve, or maintain water resources. They analyze and interpret...

Young scholars examine the importance of vitamin c in their diets and the sources that it comes from.  In this vitamin lesson students complete hands on activities, interpret data and make a bar graph.

Young scholars conduct an experiment to determine the percentage of sugar in various types of gum. They weigh the gum after chewing it to determine the amount of mass lost from each piece of gum, analyze the data, and create a graph of...

In this graphing worksheet, students read about independent and dependant variables and learn how to determine speed from the slope of a position vs. time graph. This worksheet has 4 matching, 17 fill in the blank, and 2 problems to solve.

For this graphing speed worksheet, students find the slope in a position vs. time graph to be the speed. They are given example graphs of position vs. time to show the changes in slope reflect the changes in speed. Students match terms...

In this tracking the rising tide learning exercise, students use the data in a graph showing the seal level change versus time from 1900 to 2000 to answer 3 questions about the rising tides. Students determine the slope of a line drawn...

Ninth graders conduct experiments to determine what affects the rate of a pendulum's swing. Working in small groups, they identify an independent variable to study and create an experiment to test their hypothesis. When tests are...

Fourth graders provide a habitat for live mealworms and observe their life cycle. In this animal life cycle and scientific inquiry lesson, 4th graders create a habitat for a live mealworm and observe and record related data as it grows....

Students make observations of their own backyard. In this environment instructional activity, students keep records of the plants and animals they see in their home or school yard. Students make notes of how the weather and environment...

Young scholars investigate ways people cause harm to the environment. In this environmental lesson, students explore a case study on the Internet. Young scholars explore all of the online activities and collect data for a presentation.

Third graders explore matter. In this physical science lesson, 3rd graders observe several items and use their five senses to describe their properties. Students record their observations and share with the class.

Students read a thermometer in Celsius and Fahrenheit. In this thermometer reading lesson, students take the temperature in different situations and discuss the results with a partner.

In this collecting and analyzing data worksheet, students collect data from an experimental investigation about the relationship between the color of a Tootsie Roll Pop and the time it takes to get to the chocolate center. ...
