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...

Students 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 produced when...

In this assessment instructional activity, 3rd graders complete eight pages of math assessment. Students solve problems related to money and a bar graph. Students solve word problems involving rounding and computation.

Students 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.

Young scholars explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson plan, students simulate a controlled forest burn using an applet. Young scholars 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. 

Students construct a model airplane, measure distance, and calculate velocity.  In this creative lesson students work in groups to build a model and use it to calculate distances and velocity.

Students describe the characteristics and behaviors of bats. After viewing a video, they explain how bats use echolocation to navigate and how they find their young within a group. They list four misconceptions about the animal and...

Young scholars explore perimeter, volume, and area. In this math lesson, students explore how changes in dimensions of geometric shapes affect the perimeter, area and volume of the various shapes. Young scholars investigate the results...

Students construct flow diagrams of the carbon and nitrogen cycle processes. They identify sequences in each cycle that are affected by human impact and present their research to the class.

Students define criminal and tort law and explain how they are different.

Fourth graders study the American Civil War. They read and analyze information regarding the casualties of the Civil War, fucusing on Indiana soldiers. They graph the information and then write in their reflective journals responding...
