Students demonstrate how to use frequency and scatter diagrams. For this statistics lesson, students are introduced to different techniques of representing data. Students sort and graph data on a worksheet and use a frequency diagram to...

Young scholars examine and discuss the writing of ratios as fractions and where they can be found in the real world. They complete worksheets and a questionnaire, and calculate the mean, median, and mode scores for the class.

Students practice data collection skills by observing common bugs found in their local environment. Once the data is collected they complete data sheets to compare, contrast, sort, and classify the insects. The lesson includes...

Students study kinetic energy and how it works.  In this investigative lesson students divide into groups and attempt to break a board with their hand. 

Students conduct a scientific investigation to determine if a magnet attracts paper clips through different materials. Students write out their procedures, collect data and present it in a table or chart, and analyze their results.

Students examine how clouds affect incoming solar radiation. They compare and contrast satellite images and incoming solar radiation measurements as methods to provide information about clouds.

Second graders role play as dentists researching teeth and their care. They create a slide show showing how a character, Bear, can take care of this teeth explaining habitats, diets and teeth.

Students use a brief history of the growth and decline of the anthracite region in the state to create a photograph and map "peak shaped" time line. They practice map and photo analysis strategies to "read" photographs and maps.

Learners study currents and how they have been used to plot courses for travel. They examine the ocean currents in both the Atlantic and Pacific and discuss their effect on local weather.

Eighth graders use M&M's to experiment with data. They use a graphing calculator to determine the best equation for their data; linear, quadratic or exponential. They analyze the data to find the half-life of their M&M's.

Students create a tally chart. In this math and health instructional activity, students discuss healthy foods and create a tally chart showing the number of students who like to eat healthy foods.
