Eighth graders, using a range of data, produce three bar graphs for various scales along the y-axis.

Fourth graders watch a video about constructing bar graphs. They create their own graph and interpret it.

Students use the internet to gather a minimum of thirty pieces of data. Students create box and whisker graphs, and stem and leaf plots from the information. They calculate mean, median, mode, and range. Students write a summary and...

Learners explore the relationship between two variables. Students measure their arm span and height. They gather this class data to design a scatter plot. Learners interpret the meaning of individual coordinates and the overall graph....

Sixth graders discuss how the scale and type of graph can change how the data appears. With a partner, they identify all the information about the graph in a specific amount of time and record them in a journal. To end the lesson, they...

Second graders sort M & M's and then enter the data into a spreadsheet in order to create a simple graph. After printing the spreadsheet generated graph, have students compare the printed graph with their paper graph.

Students use a spreadsheet program to graph and compare milage, gasoline costs and travel time for two travel routes in their virtual field trip in Michigan. They determine the most economical route based on the graphs and calculations.

Students use the lab apparatus to calculate the average velocity and average acceleration at several points and record the data. They use the spreadsheets to plot distance vs. time, velocity vs. time and acceleration vs. time graphs.

Students are introduced to the given problem and describe in their own words the situation represented in a bar chart and tally chart. They then use a bar chart and tally chart to make sensible predictions.

First graders collect classroom data (such as mode of transportation used to get to school) and prepare a pictograph to interpret the information.

First graders analyze nursery rhymes and gather data about word frequency. In this frequency lesson, 1st graders create graphs and tables. Students interpret the data.

Students work in pairs to measure their arm span and height and record them on a class chart. The class works together to create a scattergram to display the data. Class discussion focuses on interpreting the scattergram.

Young scholars examine the impact that human development has on streams.  In this stream sampling instructional activity students compare macroinvertebrate data and graph it.

Students graph data and interpret that data after reading information about lifestyles and income levels. They calculate percentages, set up spreadsheets and calculate columnar data.

Students draw an accurate geologic cross section by using a given data table. They relate the features of the cross section to geologic processes. Students then relate the characteristics of the bedrock to the architecture.

Students determine statistics based on data.  In this statistics lesson, students use data and record in charts.  Students create graphs based on the statistics found.

Second graders, using two dice, participate in a car race game called Cars on the Curve. They predict which car wins the game and records it in their Data Diary.

Young scholars analyze linear equation. In this algebra lesson, students analyze and graph data. They solve problems involving linear equations and graph lines using the slope and y intercept.

Learners fill out an anonymous questionaire to explore whether they might have asthma. They then set up a spreadsheet to enter the data, decide on a definition of asthma, and figure out the prevalence of asthma. Pupils simulate what it...

Learners construct and interpret a line graph of ocean floor depth and a bar graph comparing the height/depth of several well-known natural and man-made objects and places. In addition, they calculate the depth of two points using sonar...

Students write an equation for a linear function. In this algebra instructional activity, students collect data, plot it and graph it. They identify the equation of the graphed data and define the slope and y-intercept of the graph.

Students explore American tall tales. In this tall tale activity, students discover the six characteristics that are included in tall tales. Students survey their class to find each student's favorite tall tale character and organize the...

Young scholars plot data to construct and interpret a graph about vestimentiferans at cold-seep sites in the Gulf of Mexico. In this deep sea lesson plan, students plot data provided for the growth of tubeworms. They use the graphs to...
