Seventh graders investigate scientific methods to solve problems. They demonstrate creating data tables and graphs. They study the role of a scientist and the importance of safety in a science lab. They distinguish between an...

Pupils solve 2 X 2 systems using graphing and algebraic methods.

High schoolers practice graphing quadratic equations. They work to solve and equation involving finding the vertex using given formulas. Once their points have been graphed, students determine the direction in which the angle opens....

Tenth graders study how to search for life in outer space and make use of the 40-foot radio telescope at Greenbank, West Virginia. Request that the telescope be pointed at a particular location and time and receive data back from it...

Young scholars import US Historical Climate Network mean temperature data into Excel from a station of their choice. They are guided through the activity on how to use Excel for statistical calculations, graphing, and linear trend...

Students perform activities requested by being timed and observed for compliance. They practice lining up to leave the class in a quiet manner. As they line up, students are observed to ensure good manners. Each class competes against...

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 discover the process of finding the mean, median, and mode. Through guided practice and problem solving activities, they use a computer program to input data and create a graph. Graph data is used to calculate the mean,...

Learners practice graphing quadratic equations to find the vertex of quadratic functions. They determine if the graph opens upward or downward as well as convert quadratic equations to vertex form from polynomial form. A lab version is...

Eighth graders work in one collaborative group to understand how ordered pairs are represented and graphed on a coordinate plane. They identify points on the coordinate plane and communicate their understanding of ordered pairs and their...

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 graph the population growth of New Hampshire using historical census data.

Seventh graders investigate the concept of looking at the data put in a variety of ways that could include graphs or data sets. They analyze data critically in order to formulate some sound conclusions based on real data. Students graph...

Students examine motion of a sphere on an inclined plane.  In this inclined plane lesson students complete an activity to discover basic relationships.

Second graders collect data on different forms of transportation and create a bar graph or pictograph with the information.

Students use graphing calculators to graph lines and create tables of values. They perform an experiment using M&M's and slinkys, then create their tables based on their results.

Students import ocean bathymetry data from text files. They then graph these observations along with model predictions to assess the model's ability to simulate observed topographic features of the North Atlantic. Students use Excel to...
