Students identify the factors affecting friction. For this physics lesson, students construct their own rocket car and race them. They graph the average speeds and discuss how lubricants affect friction between rubbing surfaces.

Teen-aged scientists analyze a graphic organizer of how trash is removed from New York City and then answer standard questions about a graph and a diagram. Resources are mentioned, but there are no links to these resources, so you will...

Young scholars use data to make a tally chart and a line plot. They find the maximum, minimum, range, median, and mode of the data. Following the video portion of the lesson, students will visit a Web site to test their data collection...

Three activities introduce upper elementary ecologists to photosynthesis and food webs. In the first, an experiment is set up to determine how plants respond to different types of light. In the second, they connect organism cards with...

Hurricanes, typhoons, and tropical cyclones are the same type of storm, but their names change based on where they happen. Scholars use a computer simulation to learn about hurricanes. Then they hypothesize ideas to prevent hurricanes...

Fifth graders observe an overhead of a graph on which M & Ms have been poured out. A volunteer comes up and separates the colors writing on the overhead how many there were of each color and another person labels the graph's title....

Students discuss and write about their interpretations of the art. They compare and contrast the numerous types of shoes and how they are used in a certain time and place. Students memorize the Shel Silverstein's poem, "Ickle Me, Pickle...

Students organize and interpret data using bar graphs.

Second graders observe a demonstration of the creation of a bar graph and a pie graph of their favorite colors. They gather information about various topics from their classmates, then organize the information, creating a bar and a pie...

Second graders explore organizing data to make it useful for interpreting picture graphs and bar graphs. They use Graphers software to create a pictograph and a bar graph.

Students discuss the natural and economic impact of forests and forestry. Using given statistics they construct different types of graphs in which they make observations and draw conclusions.

Students investigate three types of maps. In this history lesson, students idenitfy different maps and explore how they relate to the area, while keeping climate and topography in mind. They discuss maps used to navigate land....

How do you calculate your Body Mass Index, and why is this information a valuable indicator of health? Class members discover not only what BMI is and practice calculating it using the height and weight of six fictitious individuals, but...

Learners take turns shooting baskets and creating scatterplots based on the data. They create two graphs and look for possible correlation in the data for each graph.

Students are introduced to the concept of species habitats and ranges. They introduced to ArcView GIS as a tool for mapping. Pupils use query data for species withina county, elevation, range, rivers and streams, land cover, and etc....

Students analyze and interpret graphs. In this graphing lesson plan, students view a video and construct their own graphs (line, circle, bar) from given sets of data. 

Students collect, organize, and display data using a bar graph, line graph, pie graph, or picture graph. They write a summary describing the data represented and compare the graph to another graph in the class.

Fifth graders collect temperature readings over a period of time, enter the information into a spreadsheet and choose the appropriate graph to display the results.

Learners complete a lab in order to discover if the length of a viewing tube, its diameter, or the distance from an object affect the type of data collected and the resulting graph.

Fifth graders explore how to collect data and display it on a bar and circle graph.

Students work together to design an experiment. They discover the origin of a family artifact. They analyze the data and discuss the results. They determine if the experiment is the best way to find out this type of information.

Students locate and map ten volcanoes in United States, create chart comparing volcanoes by last eruption, type of volcano, location, and interesting fact, and create Powerpoint slide show describing basic information about volcanoes and...

In this statistical inquiry activity, students analyze and interpret a variety of diagrams such as a scatter plot, bar graph and pie charts. They create tables and other diagrams to support given data. This two-page activity contains 3...

In this quadratic applications worksheet, students complete graphs, charts, comparison charts, and more having to do with quadratic equations. Students complete 5 different activities.
