Students are able to identify the characteristics of a variety of graphs (i.e. bar graph, line graph, pie graph, scatter plot, population pyramids, etc.) They recognize how the type of data to be presented plays a role in choosing the...

In this electric circuit worksheet, students use Algebraic equations to manipulate the electrical resistance of a conductor. The answer a series of 19 open-ended questions. This worksheet is printable and the answers are revealed online.

Students monitor local surface weather conditions for at least 30 days. They interpret the data by graphing it and detemining percentages.

Eighth graders work in one collaborative group to understand how ordered pairs are represented and graphed on a coordinate plane. They identify points on the coordinate plane and communicate their understanding of ordered pairs and their...

Students examine what happens when air temperature drops and gets closer to the dewpoint. They perform a lab activity which illustrates the effects on humidity, precipitation and barometric air pressure.

Students demonstrate to instructor how to add a border and shading to a paragraph. They also insert a section break and create a header different from a previous header. Students design a poster showing characters formatted using the...

Students review graphing and use processing skills to solve problems.

Students investigate the cycles of solar activity. They plot the solar activity and use the graph to answer a number of questions and explain the relationship between the solar storms and sunspots and the impact on earth and space travel.

Eighth graders experiment with M&M's and a cup attached to a spring to to simulate a bungee jump. They graph the results of the experiment and make predictions for continuing the experiment. They determine the "line of best fit."

Students, in groups, connect a 10 ohm resistor across their 1.5 volt battery, and take voltage readings every 5 minutes.

Students research forest growth online. They analyze the parts and contents of a graph, then summarize in narrative form the changes in the forest over time.

Eighth graders investigate Newton's Law of Inertia in order to create a context for the review of the use of different types of graphs. They practice gathering the data from an experiment and put it into the correct corresponding graph.

Students work in teams to conduct short surveys of their classmates. They show their results using at least two different types of graphs. Students separate into teams and are asked that each team to choose something that they are...

Learners discover the relationship between force and acceleration in a skateboard experiment. In small groups, they attach a spring balance to a skateboard and pull a group member across the floor using a constant amount of force. They...

Ninth graders explore how pendulums function.  For this pendulums lesson students complete a pendulum lab activity. 

Students investigate variables that influence the bouncing of balls.  In this exploratory lesson students observe how the manipulated and control variable are correlated by graphing the data.

Students, using 15 years of sunspot data, plot data on a classroom graph. They discuss why the pattern from their individual sheets did not and could not match the class graph.

Young scholars compare the records of gold medal Olympic winners for the last 100 years and decide if we are faster, stronger than in the past.

Students use a formula to measure the eccentricity of an ellipse, then state Kepler's Law of Elliptical Orbits. They predict the solar energy received at different positions in a planet's orbit.

In this Pre-calculus/Trigonometry instructional activity, students determine the trigonometric function that best models the given data. The eight page instructional activity contains explanation, examples, and twenty-one problems....

Students examine how archaeologists preserve context of sites through use of rectangular grid or Cartesian coordinate system, and develop sense of distance by pacing off and estimating distances.

In this motion worksheet, students will match 5 physics vocabulary words relating to motion with their definitions. Then, they will review 9 statements of different motion scenarios to determine is the statement is true or false....

Students identify the slope of a line. In this algebra lesson plan, students label slopes as positive, negative, zero or undefined. They use the slope formula to find the slope algebraically and graphically.

In this differentiated whole-group activity worksheet, students list all the places they visited over the summer, record the places on a flip chart, calculate the distances on a road map and graph the data they collect.
