Students experience why ice floats and the differences in weight of frozen water to liquid water. Students explore why ice floats. They use math skills such as: graphing, applying procedures, weighing and measuring. Students also use...

Students transfer information previously saved in a spreadsheet to Spyglass Transform. They visualize the data and explain what it means

Students use the internet to find information pertaining to the benefits of pets. They list their results on a database. They find and record data on the percent of households that own pets as well as the top six species of pets. Once...

Fourth graders observe air pollution that is visible and invisible with experimentation. During the experiment the students collect data that needs analysis. The observations are recorded in the lab journal. The data also is represented...

Students are introduced to significant figures and how to add, subtract, multiply and divide them. In a group, they practice plotting data points from a table to a graph and labeling all axes. They calculate the slope and y-intercept and...

Learners design questions that can be answered by collecting data. In this line-plot lesson, pupils collect data and graph on a line plot on world records. An abundant supply of teacher support is provided in this resource.

Seventh graders graph ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. They create a scatterplot. Additionally, they determine the line of best fit and investigate the slope of the line. Multiple resources are provided. An excellent resource!

Looking for an excellent lesson that incorporates math, science, and technology? Groups of three learners use a viewing tube to perform an experiment, and discover how to organize their data into an Excel spreadsheet.  This is a...

Students participate in a lab that demonstrate one example of how the human body maintains homeostasis. Students collect data from themselves and observe how their own bodies react to exercise.

Go on a scavenger hunt around your school to find evidence of math. Investigate different areas of your school for patterns, fractions, and different geometric shapes. Finally, create a spreadsheet and plot the data you've collected.

Fifth graders look at actual sunrise and sunset times for their hometown to determine a pattern in the amount of daylight. They collect their data in Excel and create a chart to help them identify the pattern, then write an explanation...

Sixth graders create/use spreadsheets to solve real-world problems, explore patterns, make predictions, select/explain most appropriate types of graph to display data, use information to create product, and have basic understanding of...

This is a very useful Powerpoint that has slides to assist in the processes of the ACT college entrance exam preparation. The understanding behind the types of questions presented, and the techniques to help with the best opportunities...

Water, water, everywhere, right? Wrong. Learners assess their own knowledge of water availability on Earth. Then, through a reading, a teacher-led presentation, and an activity, pupils learn about the importance of available clean...

Young scholars use a variety of technology-assisted weather observation tools to observe and record local weather. They identify, measure and record weather conditions, summarize types of clouds and make graphs of their observations....

Students conduct experiments with plants.  For this photosynthesis lesson, students examine plants under different types of lights.  They calculate the amount of dissolved ocygen concentration and compare it to the formula for...

Students create graphs comparing the amount of snow cover along selected latitudes using data sets from a NASA website. They create a spreadsheet and a bar graph on the computer, and analyze the data.

Students investigate water conservation. In this water conservation activity, students list the uses for water and record their water usage for one day. Students graph the data and create a water conservation poster.

Students explore average speed, and graph distances and time.  In this speed and velocity instructional activity students complete a lab then calculate distances, acceleration and velocity and graph the data.

Ninth graders measure the insulation properties of different fabrics by immersing cans of water covered with fabric "socks" in an ice bath and measuring temperature changes. They then calculate heat loss and graph the data individually.

Fifth graders locate their own pulse rate from their carotid or radial artery, and graph their pulse rates after completing various exercise activities. They graph their data on a pie graph using Microsoft Excel software.

Fourth graders study the properties of heat in this series of lessons. They discuss sources of heat and experiment to determine its properties. They identify insulators and conductors by measuring temperatures, and graphing their data....

Students conduct a class survey of a variety of human traits and construct histograms of the collected data. They explore how they are alike and different and play a game that introduces the concept of each individual's uniqueness.

Seventh graders identify the different graphs used in science. In this graphing lesson, 7th graders analyze the three kinds of graphs. They construct a graph that best describes a given data.
