Students construct bar graphs using the results from various experiments. In this graphing lesson, students review data from a previous experiment and demonstrate how to construct a bar graph. Students use a checklist to ensure...

Students explore data. They gather data and generate questions about the data in pictographs, tallies, tables, and bar graphs. Students use color tiles pulled by random to create their own bar graph. They discuss the bar graphs they...

Middle schoolers create and conduct a survey about favorite foods, gather and represent the data, interpret data and make predictions to present to the class. They create and use interview questions to gather data. Pupils are...

Students collect, organize, and display data using a bar graph, line graph, pie graph, or picture graph. They write a summary describing the data represented and compare the graph to another graph in the class.

Students analyze data about various climates in Canada. In this data analysis and climate instructional activity, students use Canada Year Book 1999 to complete a worksheet and make connections between precipitation and temperature in...

Students graph data on fetal and infant mortality rates collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They identify trends in the data and propose potential causes for the trends.

In this probability and statistics activity, students work with a family member to construct graphs based on real life data. The two page activity contains three questions. Answers are not included.

Students review graphing terminology and how to plot data points, how to input data into a spreadsheet, and how to make a chart using a computer.

Students develop a line graph based on distances that an RCX car drives in specified amounts of time. They then are given a specific amount of time for the car to drive and be asked to extrapolate the car's distance from the graph.

Students create a spreadsheet and graph using Open House attendance data.

Learners determine the exact relationship between the height from which a ball is dropped and the distance that it rebounds.
