Fifth graders examine the many uses of coordinate grids. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders write data driven equations, discuss the x and y-axis, and determine if using 2 or 3 ordered pairs is better.  Students complete several...

Fifth graders study dehydration and dehydration of foods. They measure the amount of water lost from fruits as they are dehydrated. They use desktop publishing software to design an advertisement for dehydrated fruit after researching...

Students are introduced to the concept of specific heat. In groups, they are given a set of data showing the temperatures of air and soil samples in which they calculate the ranges of the data. They identify whether the air or soil...

Students work together to analyze United States Census data on immigration. They compare and contrast the data and determine how immigration numbers have changed over time. They calculate percentages and make their own conclusions...

Students describe how inclined plane and pulleys make work easier. For this physics lesson, students calculate work done and mechanical advantage of both simple machines. They collect data from the experiment and construct graphs.

Fifth graders analyze data from a simple table. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders compare distributions.  Students recognize that the mean helps them find the formula.  Students answer questions on the mean, median, and range.

Students investigate planning an activity and getting it done on time. In this algebra lesson, students define vocabulary words related quadratic equations, including the vertex and intervals. They figure a good way to color graphs...

In this rate of chemical reactions worksheet, learners experiment with different concentrations and volumes of hydrochloric acid mixed with magnesium to explore the rate of chemical reactions. They measure the rates of the reactions and...

Seventh graders construct frequency tables and box-and-whisker plots. After constructing tables and plots, they take a quiz on mean, median, mode, range, scientific notation, and number properties.

Students experiment with acids and bases using technology-based "probe-ware", computers, and household products in this exciting biology/chemistry lesson. The lesson was written for an advanced 6th grade class.

In this mean and median worksheet, students examine given data and determine the measures of central tendency for the data.  Students compute the mode, mean, median, and range of data.  They create stem-and-leaf plots. ...

Learners explore graph making by investigating St. Patrick's day food. In this holiday food lesson, students discuss their favorite green foods in honor of St. Patrick's day. Learners create a graph based on the data of which green foods...

Students investigate the link between countries' population growth rates and levels of industrialization. They observe that, over time, as a country becomes more industrialized, its population growth rate decreases.

In this grade 3 mixed math worksheet, 3rd graders complete 9 problems. They work with fractions, nets, line segments, elapsed time, and a data table. They draw the bar graph to go with the data, and practice mental multiplication.

Learners use simple machines that demonstrate force, friction, work and power. They investigate and explain simple machines.

Students explore space science by conducting an illustration activity. In this lunar lesson plan, students discuss what the moon is and the role it plays for our environment on Earth. Students view images of the moon and utilize chalk to...

Students use satellite data to explore sea surface temperature. They explore the relationship between the rotation of the Earth, the path of ocean current and air pressure centers. After studying maps of sea surface temperature and ocean...

Students identify the relationship between Canada and its trading partners. They use two data sources, Canadian Statistics and E-STAT, on the Statistics Canada website to explore the growing importance of trade in general.

Students begin their examination of the climate zones found around the world. Using a software program, they identify the relationship between the vegetation, climate and temperatures of the different zones. They also plot coordinates...

In this graphing functions instructional activity, students write functions in logarithmic and exponential forms.  They evaluate logarithms and determine the inverse of a function.  Students graph functions.  This six-page...

For this experimental design worksheet, students use a cup and coins to determine the distance they can blow a cup with varying amounts of coins. They analyze their results and design an experiment using the same materials.

In this word search worksheet, students find the words in the word search and then circle them. There are 16 words in the word bank for students to locate. They then try to find any other words that they can. The answers are on the...
