Explore politics by analyzing the voting process. Pupils discuss the purpose of casting votes in an election, then examine graphs based on the data from a previously held election's turnout. The lesson concludes as they answer study...

Here is a complete activity in which young biologists or ecologists test the pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity and temperature of stream water. The class visits an actual stream and makes observations of the site. They use scientific...

Young scholars identify trends and characteristics of climate zones and specific places within. Then, they graph annual climate trends (primarily Temperature and Precipitation) and create, interpret and extrapolate information based on...

Sixth graders experiment with an atlatl and dart.  In this sixth grade data management mathematics lesson, 6th graders explore and determine the most suitable methods of displaying data collected from their experimentation with...

Students make origami frogs to race. After the race they measure the distance raced, collect the data, enter it into a chart. They then find the mean, median, and mode of the data. Next, students enter this data into Excel at which time...

First graders investigate picture graphs. In this graphing lesson, 1st graders create a picture graph with the x-axis being number and the y-axis being color. Students sort their gummy bears by color and use pictures of colored bears...

Young scholars study the 'Marine Protected Areas' process.  In this ocean lesson students work in groups, conduct research and present it to the class.

Students graph and analyze data using a spreadsheet.

Students interpret and analyze data.  In this middle school mathematics lesson, students conduct an experiment in which they investigate which solar collector, black, white, or silver, absorbs the most heat.  Students examine...

Students analyze and interpret graphs. In this graphing lesson plan, students view a video and construct their own graphs (line, circle, bar) from given sets of data. 

Students read and interpret the information from a barograph from a major winter storm. This task assesses students' abilities to interpret and analyze graphs, construct data tables and graphs, generalize, infer, apply knowledge of...

Students conduct a traffic survey and interpret their data and use graphs and charts to display their results.

Students measure the heights of their fellow classmates and create a box and whisker plot to display the data. In this measurement lesson plan, students analyze the data and record results.

Seventh graders review different types of graphs such as bar graphs, line graphs, box & whisker plots. As a class, they read a story and construct graphs to solve the data in the story. Students play "Graph Jeopardy" which requires...

Students use NASA satellite data to see cloud cover over Africa.  In this seasons lesson students access data and import it into Excel. 

Fifth graders explore how to collect data and display it on a bar and circle graph.

Sixth graders set up a pendulum experiment deciding which variable to manipulate (length of string or weight on the string). They create a hypothesis, collect necessary equipment, and write out each step of their experiment. They then...

Learners research the solar cycle. In this Science lesson, students use the internet to investigate the solar cycle. Learners produce a spreadsheet and graph from the information collected.

Students analyze a bag of Valentine candy to create a graph. In this graphing lesson, students make predictions, sort by color, record data and make a graph. Students discuss results and make generalizations. Students generate their own...

Students relate the concepts of linear functions to the game of monopoly. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems with ratio and proportion. They collect data and graph it.

Students gather information and interpret the results using a tally chart, a table, and a bar graph.

Seventh graders analyze different types of graphs and answer questions related to each. In this math lesson, 7th graders organize a given diagram to make it easier to interpret. They discuss why they made such changes.

Students make observations of their own backyard. In this environment instructional activity, students keep records of the plants and animals they see in their home or school yard. Students make notes of how the weather and environment...

Fourth graders examine the islands of Hawaii. Using this information, they organize it and create a map or graph that represents the data. As a class, they discuss how the watersheds on the islands are different and how people react to...
