Students connect different mathematical concepts. They create a circle graph. Students then create a question in which they collect data in order to convert fractions to decimals and decimals to percents.

Young scholars examine the use of the Hindu Kush mountains by explorers and traders. Using Afghanistan as an example, they research how different events can effect human settlerment patterns. They discuss how the physical...

Learners investigate the concept of straight line motion. They determine the pattern and graph it looking for the motion maintained at a constant speed. Students also write a description of the significance of the line. The skill of...

Young scholars identify relation, function, patterns and range. In this algebra lesson, students factor and graph quadratic equations. They use transformation to move the parabola around and make predictions.

Sixth graders explore potential and kinetic energy. In this science lesson, 6th graders assume the role of a roller coaster engineer and design a roller coaster. Students use their knowledge of kinetic and potential energy to design a...

Fourth graders conduct an experiment demonstrating the effects of water and air temperature on precipitation. They create graphs demonstrating their findings using Claris Works for Kids.

Learners investigate the geography located along Route 66. They research how the population patterns change in certain areas along the highway. Students use the information in order to form hypotheses about how and why the population...

Students use the data from USA TODAY Snapshot "World population milestones" to explore and explain the trends in the world population.

Students create and analyze graphs using archived atmospheric data to compare the ozone levels of selected regions around the world.

Students research propulsion, graph data, and interpret the results.

Children create crazy crayons they made to sort and construct a floor bar graph. Then, using technology resources, they make a simple bar graph to compare the top four colors produced. Students will then interpret the printed graph by...

Young scholars investigate the concept of exponential functions and how they increase in size over time. They simplify the functions in order to find the solutions that are possible and perform analysis of the curved line that is...

Pupils create and analyze a population pyramid based on age and sex data from the 2001 Census. They explain and interpret the population pyramid other students have produced.

Students construct, interpret and translate maps and geographic data. Given a worksheet, students identify an island, an atoll, a scale, and a compass rose. Students grid systems, legends, and symbols. They use the map to find answers to...

First graders record information on a bar graph and interpret the information given. They identify five different kinds of beans and three different kinds of peas. They work in groups of four and sort the beans by size or shape.

Students create terrariums (mini rainforests). They observe and discuss the life processes that occur in their terrariums and how changes in these processes affect the plants and organisms inside. They collect and graph data and present...

Students design and build water balloon catchers from random scrap materials, while taking into consideration a multitude of variables including: cost, maintenance, total capacity, etc.

Third graders, in groups, dissect a variety of brands of chocolate chip cookies and calculate the mean for each brand. They create their own bar graphs, pictographs, and line graphs to represent information.

Students compare and contrast abiotic and biotic factors. They discuss how these factors effect ecosystems. They answer questions to complete the lesson.

Students explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students simulate a controlled forest burn using an applet. Students vary the probability of trees burning and predict what will happen.

Students design a PowerPoint presentation using six slides that include a title, a picture and five positive attributes about the student. They include the specified pictures and describe how they relate to themselves.

Fourth graders investigate magnetism and the magnetic force.

Students calculate a toy car's velocity and acceleration. For this force and motion lesson, students build ramps and attach a dropper to a toy car, which is released down the ramp. Students calculate and graph velocity and acceleration...

Students compare and evaluate the world's different seaweeds.  In this investigative lesson students study seaweed and the harvesting of it.  They then interpret the data collected and graph the seaweed production.
