High schoolers compile data on population distribution and develop survivorship curves using information from cemetery tombstones and obituaries. They develop inferences on the changes in population age distribution in their area over time.

Seventh graders read and follow the instructions on the worksheet. They make a table of their results. Students use about 100 cm^3 of water and ice mixture. They heat the water/ice with a Bunsen burner. Temperature is recorded every 30...

Seventh graders read the directions printed on their worksheet and follow them carefully. They set up a beaker with a tripod and Bunsen burner under it. They record the temperature of water every 30 seconds. Students graph the data and...

Fourth graders explore several different types of graphs using M & Ms.

Fourth graders measure the height and arm span of various classmates. They use a spreadsheet to design a graph that shows the class measurements from tallest to shortest in metric and standard systems.

Middle schoolers comprehend how heat loss is affected by exposed surface area. They decide what type of and how many data to collect. Students decide how the results should be presented. They make a series of accurate observations

Students record the progress weekly of a business of their choice on the stock market, graph those results, research and report on current news and how it pertains to the companies recent performance.

Learners investigate the stock market and investing in corporate stocks by creating an investment portfolio. They develop database worksheets that track their stock's performance over a specified period of time. Students use their...

Students rotate through stations in the classroom, completing different types of measurements. These measurements are placed into a spreadsheet, and a scatter plot is generated. They type an explanation of their results in correlation...

Students discover the motion of a sphere on an inclined plane and discover basic relationships involving distance, time, speed(velocity), and acceleration.

Students orally describe Northern and Southern hemispheres, identify 7 continents, and point out specific countries and cities. They locate and record weather information.

Learners investigate the slope of various stairways through a "news report" approach and employ mathematical knowledge of applied slope to report on wheelchair accessibility and adherence to Americans with Disabilities Act. They...

Students use a professional basketball team's data and graph it on a coordinate plane. They draw a line of regression and finding its equation. They access a website containing statistics for the Houston Rockets basketball team to solve...

Students calculate the slope of the equation In this algebra lesson, students graph coordinate pairs of linear equations and identify the relationship between x and y values and slope.  They differentiate between functions and...

Ninth graders explore the point-slope form of linear equations and graph lines in the point-slope form. After completing the point-slope equation, they identify the slope of a line through a particular point. Students explain the...

Ninth graders identify and describe the x-intercept as the place where the line crosses the x-axis as it applies to football. They create their own differentiations to reinforce the distinction between the x-intercept and the...

Students calculate the distance and velocity over time. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph a linear function to represent the distance vers time travel. They interpret their graphs and draw conclusion.

Students use their knowledge and understanding of equations of lines to explore independent and dependent variables. They determine how to isolate a variable and how to predict data points not represented in data.

Students investigate different correlations. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs and identify the lines as having positive, negative or no correlation. They calculate the line of best fit using a scatter plot.

What did you do over your summer vacation. Young wage earners must compare summer job options, and determine when each job earn the same amount and what that amount be. This be done by creating, graphing, and solving systems of...

Young scholars solve word problems using mathematical symbols. In this algebra instructional activity, students collect data and analyze it. They analyze the data using a table or graph after plotting the data.

Students collect information and use a line to represent it. In this algebra instructional activity, students investigate real world data to see if it makes a line. They graph the line comparing the relationship of the x...

Students use a shoe box to create a seafloor model and use cardboard for layering inside of the shoe box to simulate the ocean floor. They probe the ocean floor to simulate sonar echoes. Finally, students graph their data to get a...

Fifth graders interpret data. For this mode and range lesson, 5th graders define mode and range and practice finding them given a set of data.
