Learners explain the meaning of Ohm's Law, and plot a graph of voltage versus current, by explaining how the slope is the resistance of the circuit.

Students explore the concept of finding the composition of seawater.  In this finding the composition of seawater instructional activity, students make a saturated salt water solution.  Students discuss why there is variation...

Third graders measure each other's height and find the mean, median, and mode for the height of students in their class. They line up tallest to shortest and discuss the most appropriate measure of central tendency for the class.

Students experiment to discover the relationship between the stretch of a spring and the amount of weight attached to the spring using Skittles. They use a CBR and a graphing calculator to gather data.

Students, after reading the explanation given below, use FoilSim to gather and record data on temperature and altitude generated by the FoilSim control panel.

Sixth graders use paper cups, black and white lining, thermometers and plastic wrap to conduct an experiment that measures the energy-collecting capacity of various colors. They graph the results.

Students practice single operation arithmetic ranging from single digit addition to long division of decimals or real numbers using Graphit. They use data sets and rules to graph ordered pairs.

Students investigate the relationship between force and motion while conducting an experiment to answer the question,"How do objects move?". In small groups, they predict how many washers are needed to pull a bowl across a finish line.

Students investigate the concept of functions and how they are used with polynomials. They practice finding the zeros of functions and graph polynomial functions for the help of giving solutions. Students interpret the curve of a line...

Students conduct an experiment to determine the distance between touch receptor fields in parts of the right-hand side of the body. They enter data into the data table.

Students observe and discuss the local weather patterns, researching cloud types and weather patterns for cities on the same latitude on the Internet. They record the data for 6-8 weeks on a graph, and make weather predictions for their...

Students collect data for a runner by measuring the time it takes for the runner to run equal distances. After collecting data, students average speeds and accelerations for the runner. Assignment is completed by graphing the data.

Students analyze data and identify the mean. In this probability lesson, students log data in the TI and construct scatter plots from the data. They identify properties of a scatterplot.

Learners read an explanation from the NASA Web-based "textbook", The Beginner's Guide to Aerodynamics, then use the information in combination with data from other Web sites to solve single variable equations for distance (range), time,...

Students explore the use of variables in the scientific method. They identify the dependent and independent variables through pH testing. Students construct graphs of their data and analyze their findings.

Students play a relay race game that gives them points for finding and retrieving hidden items. They record data on a graph.

Students develop their geography skills. In this Lewis and Clark lesson, students collaborate to calculate the time and distance of different segments of the expedition. Students compare their estimate to Lewis and Clark's.

Students investigate the reasons for taking a census and determine the problems that are involved in the process. They examine the population figure for Montana and Lake county before using the information to complete the included...

First graders create pictographs and interpret results of transportation home from school.

Young scholars investigate volcanoes. In this landforms lesson, students locate two volcanoes on a world map. Young scholars compare and contrast the types of volcanoes by using various Internet sites.

Students explore the concept of sacrifice during wartime. In this World War II lesson, students explore the Allied and Axis Powers that existed during the war. Students discover sacrifices that were made by both powers during the war as...

Study the difference between mass and weight. Your math group will compare the weight of an item to the amount of space that it uses. They'll then use conversion factors to find the difference between kilograms and pounds. Essential...

Build boxes using unit cubes to compare surface area and volume. The group performs multiple experiments to determine properties of volume, such as if it makes a difference which order the dimensions are multiplied in. Extensive...

Young scholars explore how the population decreased in native cultures.
