Students explore the use of matrices and graphing calculators to solve a complex linear programming problem. They test their solutions to determine the best division of land use for the city.

Students use scientific method to determine cost-effectiveness of air freshener, and create PowerPoint presentations to share their results.

High schoolers work together in groups to collect data in relationship to how much water marbles can displace. After the experiment, they use the data to identify the linear equation to determine the best-fit line. They use the...

Students examine how to design and implement experiments.  In this paper towel experiment lesson students test the strength of paper towels. 

Students predict how changing the pendulum components affect its period. In this physics lesson, students calculate the period using different masses. They analyze lab result and complete assigned worksheet.

Students create a hypothesis about the attitudinal differences between generations, test their hypothesis with a survey, chart their findings, and present their answers to the class.

Students use water filled pipes to play a tune and consider the mathematics behind the sound waves. In this sound wave activity, students play a tune with water filled pipes. They create a mathematical model to evaluate the wavelengths...

Learn how to calculate the length and midsegments of triangles. Students differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. They create a spreadsheet with their findings.

Seventh graders demonstrate scientific inquiry to design and perform an experiment involving Grow Creatures. They participate in a class discussion, and in small groups design an experiment that determines how to change the materials to...

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.

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."

Eighth graders experiment with a bathroom scale, books and a plank to determine how weight readings change as distance is applied. They graph and interpret the results.

Students use the S'COOL data base to create a bar graph.

Students design an experiment to test the problem of the porridge in Baby Bear's bowl as being just right while the other porridge was either too hot or too cold. They explain the steps of their experiment and record their observations...

Students evaluate their current food choices. In this health science lesson, students test different drinks to rate the amount of Vitamin C content. They discuss results in class.

Students explain population growth in Maryland and its relationship with age structure, household growth and consumption of land.

Ninth graders explore the concepts of motion, velocity and acceleration through graphing their own movement using LoggerPro. They become more familiar with the computer technology. Students explore graphing in real time and graph on...

Students examine computerized data maps in order to create graphs of the amount of snowfall found at certain latitudes by date. Then they compare the graphs and the data they represent. Students present an analysis of the graphs.

Seventh graders investigate the concept of looking at the data put in a variety of ways that could include graphs or data sets. They analyze data critically in order to formulate some sound conclusions based on real data. Students graph...

In this story mapping learning exercise, students read how story mapping can apply to 3 different areas of study: history, English and science lab. The components of story mapping that are included here are setting, characters,...
