In this unique lesson plan students participate in a pumpkin seed experiment. Students interact with the pumpkins weight, seeds and record their findings of what lies within the pumpkin once the top of the pumpkin is cut off for...

Young scholars analyze the graph of a distribution. In this statistics activity, students define skewed or mound shape distribution as they investigate the data behind the graph. They define and plot outlier as well as normal probability.

Young scholars research causes of rising gasoline prices. They collect data on fluctuating gasoline prices and analyze the data using Excel. They write comparative essays supporting their results and create PowerPoint presentations to...

Students watch a segment of the PBS video which show the lemurs' ability to jump. In pairs, students collect measurement data involving each other's length of a standard step, a standing broad jump, and a long jump. They record their...

Fifth graders study the sizes of pumpkins. They measure and record the diameters of pumpkins. They create five subtraction problems and solve them. They weigh their pumpkins, record the data and select two pumpkins to make a graph of...

Seventh graders conduct year long study of water quality over different seasons using variety of probes, including D.O., pH, conductivity and temperature, that are attached to portable technology. Students select three data points in...

Pupils designs and conduct a scientific experiment that identifies the problem, distinguishes manipulated, responding and controlled variables, collects, analyzes and communicates data, and makes valid inferences and conclusions.

Students use the Live Access Server (LAS) to form maps and a numerical text file of snow cover for each continent on a particular date. They analyze the data for each map and corresponding text file to determine an estimate of snow cover...

Explore graphical representation of a real-life data set and determine the exponential regression model for the data in your classroom. Students also compare the estimated value to the given value by determining the percent error.

My forecast is that you'll want to use the resource. Pupils design and create a weather bot as part of a project-based unit. These bots should be able to measure temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, and...

Eighth graders investigate what would happen to the length of a rubber band as more and more rings were hung on it. They base their explanation on what they observed, and as they develop cognitive skills, they should be able to...

Young scholars research computer information and use it to find the mean of things.  In this computer skills instructional activity students are given activities in which they calculate and use a spreadsheet to enter data on the...

Young scholars 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. 

Here is an unexpected, but practical resource. It is not a learning exercise, but rather an outline of what a science laboratory participant should include in a report. Especially valuable is a grading rubric that spells out what is...

Students solve equations using the quadratic formula. For this quadratic equations lesson, students use digital cameras to film students jumping and import film clips into a computer. Students use the data in the quadratic formula...

Students utilize peanuts to practice fractions.  In this math model lesson, students solve multiplication problems and fractions with real peanuts.  Students use drawing software to graph data from the math equations.

Fourth graders examine aquatic orgnaisms and how enviromental chages affect them. This factors include: temperature, Ph, oxygen, nutrients, and pollutants. They also explore habitat quality (erosion). Students compile data and create...

Students comprehend how heat loss is affected by exposed surface area. They decide what type of and how many data to collect. Students decide how the results should be presented. They make a series of accurate observations

Learners explore pet ownership. For this my perfect pet lesson, students research common animals used as pets and complete a variety of activities based on this data.
