Pupils interpret maps and graph data related to volcanic ash. Then they analyze the importance of wind speed and the dangers of the ash to both life, air temperature, and technology. 

Upper graders analyze basic concepts about the consumption, importation and exportation of the worlds oil production. They create several graphs to organize the data and draw conclusions about the overall use of oil in the world.

Learners experiment with the combination of vinegar and baking soda. In this applied science instructional activity, future scientists compare qualitative and quantitative data collected from their exploration. Then they work together to...

The class gets their mean and median all in a row with an assessment task that uses a population of ducklings to work with data displays and measures of central tendency. Pupils create a frequency chart and calculate the mean and median....

Learners complete three parts of an "Organizning and Reading Data" worksheet. First, they go over the rubric to determine the work will be scored. They organize data by taking tallies, make a pictograph and a bar graph using the data....

Learners concentrate on discrete quantiative data. They are shown that the vertical line diagram as a more appropriate way to present discrete quantiative data then bar charts. Students work as a group to help with the interpretation...

Students develop strategies to organize data while following teacher demonstration. They calculate the mean, median and mode of a data set while determining the relationships between the numbers. They analyze data from tables and double...

In this histograms worksheet, students solve 5 word problems based on a histogram of presidential ages at their inauguration. Next, students create a frequency table and a histogram based on a list of data which shows the average...

Students create graphs comparing the amount of snow cover along selected latitudes using data sets from a NASA website. They create a spreadsheet and a bar graph on the computer, and analyze the data.

Students complete a weather report chart after studying weather patterns for a period of time. For this weather report lesson, students measure temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, wind speed, and wind direction for a month. Students...

Students make "pets" of isopods (potato bugs) to determine their preferred environment and food sources. They record their results on a bar graph and in a scientific report.

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...

Students evaluate word problems.  In this problem solving instructional activity, students are presented with word problems requiring graphing skills and students work independently to solve.

First graders explore the theme of dental health and hygeine. They make tooth loss predictions, count lost teeth, and graph tooth loss. In addition, they listen to dental health stories, read online stories, create spreadsheets, and play...

Eighth graders practice constructing bar, circle, and box-and-whisker graphs. They practice reading and interpreting data displays and explore how different displays of data can lead to different interpretations.

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.

Fifth graders create graphs based on climate in South Carolina. They read and interpret information in a chart and construct a graphy from the information in the chart. They create a spreadsheet using Excel and publish 2 graphs.

Young scholars are given data and are to calculate averages and yearly totals of how many cars travel the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. They also make a graph of the data.

Sixth graders practice collecting, organizing and displaying data. They create circle, bar, line and picto graphs. They analyze data in small and large sample groups.

Students examine the differences between family farms and factory farms. They practice using different math computations and reading graphs and tables. They work together in groups to research the differences between the farms and make a...

Learners solve problems using equations and properties of integers. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems using ratio and proportion and graph their answers on a coordinate plane. They solve word problems using geometry.

Sixth graders construct and interpret graphs from ozone data collected in Phoenix area. Can be adapted to other areas.

Students chart statistical information on graphs, interpret the information and use it to explain spatial relationships, and identify the relationship between climate and vegetation.

Fourth graders graph cars according to their colors. They complete the graph including a title, scale, x-axis, and y-axis. Students collect the data and choose the type of graph to be made.
