Adjust this lesson to fit either beginning or more advanced learners. Build a scatter plot, determine appropriate model (linear, quadratic, exponential), and then extend to evaluate the model with residuals. This problem uses real-world...

High schoolers measure the flight of a gilder. In this fight of angles lesson, students explore the flight of a glider and measure the distance flown. They collect statistical data of the flights and determine the slope of each flight. ...

Students examine college costs in different states. In this college cost instructional activity, students create a table and determine the average cost of college for the states listed. They organize the data into measurement categories....

Learners predict if the height of a ramp affect how far an object travels. They design and conduct an experiment to test their predictions. The results are recorded and a graph is created to show the relationship between ramp height and...

Seventh graders play "What's my Rule" beginning with simple equations and working towards harder problems as student's gain confidence. They evaluate the equations by graphing them. Students identify the slope and y intercepts of the...

For this math worksheet, students will create a "bridge" out of spaghetti and test it's strength with pennies. Students will record their results on a table and then graph the results.

Students explore various approaches to solving a problem of maximizing the total production of apples in an orchard. In this apple orchard lesson, students collect data in order to solve the apple orchard problem presented. Students plot...

Students read about potential violent relationships and beliefs about dating.  In this relationship lesson plan students use graphs to examine data about healthy realtionshipsand draw conclusions on their results.

Learners explore how waste disposal has changed over time and what the current issues are.  In this disposal lesson students collect data and create graphs.

High schoolers explore the concept of Pi.  In this Pi lesson, students measure the circumference and diameter of a circle.  High schoolers record the diameter and circumference measurements from their classmates.  Students...

Investigate the structure of seeds and the effects of fertilizer on the growth of plants. Young scientists observe a peanut and determine if it is a monocot or dicot plant. They plant seeds and make varying solutions of fertilizer, then...

Learners investigate the differences between linear and exponential models.  In this linear and exponential models lesson, students make a table of given data.  Learners determine if the data is linear or exponential by...

Through learning how to examine linear, quadratic, and exponential functions, students explore the effects of changes in parameters on the graphs of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions.  The instructional activity is...

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. ...

Eighth graders discover the relationship between speed, distance, and time. They calculate speed and represent their data graphically. They, in groups, design a ramp for their matchbox car. The goal is to see who's ramp produces the...

Students examine where trigonometry exists outside the classroom. In this trigonometry lesson, students create trigonometric functions to match the data provided and to solve word problems relating to the real world.

Learners differentiate between a relation and a function. In this algebra lesson, students identify a pair of coordinates as being a relation or a function. They analyze graphs for function as they solve word problems.

Students investigate the factors affecting population growth. In this biology instructional activity, students collect data from the lab and graph them. They estimate population size using a mathematical formula.

Scholars explore the relationship between circumference and diameter. Groups of learners measure the diameter and circumference of round objects and record their data on a given worksheet. They then input the data into their graphing...

Students use math skills and create a spreadsheet. In this statistics and computer skills lesson, students gather ACC basketball statistics, convert fractions to decimals and then percents. Students use the gathered information to create...

Students set up and conduct a scientific experiment to demonstrate data collection. In this scientific process instructional activity, students complete an activity with the specific objective of using a slingshot to fire a t-shirt into...

High schoolers differentiate lines and angles using betweenness in this geometry lesson plan. They differentiate angles and lines using Cabri Jr. and analyze the data and make conjecture.

In this mass spectrometer worksheet, young scholars read about how a mass spectrometer determines the elements in gases around Earth. Students answer 3 questions and identify the elements in a graph found by a mass spectrometer.

Eighth graders explore mathematics by conducting a series of investigations using a colorimeter. In this math lesson, 8th graders explain the purpose of food irradiation. They collect data and graph them.
