Eighth graders measure in feet and inches and convert to explore the relationship between the converted measurements. In this measurement lesson, 8th graders use the whisker and box plot to represent the measurement of a cat. ...

As an introductory activity, young statisticians measure their heart rate at rest and after exercise and compute the mean and median, and create a box & whisker plot.  This is followed by watching a video (that no longer seems...

Connect the tortoise and the hare fable to mathematics. Learners first identify key terms related to distance, rate, and time. They then solve distance/rate/time problems using different representations.

Young analysts use real (provided) data from a class's test scores to practice using statistical tools. Not only do learners calculate measures of center and spread (including mean, median, deviation, and IQ range), but...

Students collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph provided the best...

Second graders ask questions and design an experiment to explore different spinners in "The Leap Frog" board game. They conduct their experiment, collect information and interpret the results using a graph.

Students employ statistics to solve real-world problems. They collect, organize and describe data. They make inferences based on data analysis. They construct, read, and interpret tables, charts and graphs.

Students explore how jelly beans are produced. They discuss the origins of the jelly bean and view a video about how jelly beans are prepared, tested, shaped, finished, and shipped and estimate the amount of jelly beans in a jar and sort...

Students explore the concept of misleading statistics. In this misleading statistics lesson, students play a game of tag and graph the number of times each student gets tagged. Students use the graph to determine the fastest runner in...

Learners are introduced to maps by examining the various types and practice using a key to find information. They each create their own map with a key and graph information. As a class, they read the story "Henny Penny" and share their...

In this geography skills worksheet, students read an article and examine graphs about population prior to answering 13 short answer questions and 10 multiple choice questions. Students then respond to the writing prompt about population.

Students use an electronic data-collection device to model the sound produced by a guitar string. They identify the graph of a periodic situation and use the graph to determine the period and frequency of sound waves.

Students investigate probability using coins and dice. They collect data, graph, organize and interpret data. They predict, describe, compare, compute and draw conclusions based on what they observe and record.

Learners investigate how weather affects how plants grow. They collect data on weather and plant growth for a week and display the data on a graph. For a culminating experience they design a movie using software that shows plant growth...

Students define and explore Industry. They access times during the Industrial Revolution in America. Students view how business functions in any economy. They summarize the three sectors of industry by creating and interpreting a web...

Students examine the concepts of porosity and permeability. They conduct experiments to determine the porosity and permeability of gravel, sand, and clay. After performing the experiments they collect and graph data, comparing the...

Students explore kinetic and potential energy. In this energy lesson, students launch toys cars from ramps in order to examine the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy. Students collect data and graph the results.

Third graders discuss light sources and collect data about energy sources. They compare data and create a multiple line graph showing energy used by light sources for each student in the group. They present their graphs and write a...

Second graders examine graphs and charts from their local newspaper. As a class, they discuss what the data means and how it relates to the article. In groups, they are shown two sets of graphs or charts and they practice explaining...

Students demonstrate the relationship between stress and strain, then graph stress-strain curves for various common materials. Students interpret graphed results and discuss differences in mechanical properties of materials.

In this particle physics worksheet, students use graphs and tables to predict the particles formed during a specific observation event. They complete 5 multi-part fill in the blank questions.

Students work together to determine if smell is important to being able to recongize food by taste. They try different foods with different textures and hold their nose. They create a graph of their results.

Students explore the concept of stem and leaf plots.  In this stem and leaf plots lesson, students plot the 50 US states' capitals on a stem and leaf plot according to the first letter of each state.  Students compare...

Young scholars complete data organization activities. In this data organization lesson plan, students watch online clips about organizing data. Young scholars complete an eye color frequency table for their class. Students...
