Young scholars study how scientists have estimated the maximum height to which trees can grow, and assess the reliability of interpolation and extrapolation techniques by making predictions with particular data sets and analyzing...

Students make observations about shapes and 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional objects. They conduct observations and make predictions regarding transformations of simple geometric shapes. They identify shapes that occur in household items.

Learners respond to the story of Little Red Riding Hood. In this Red Riding Hood lesson, students retell and discuss story elements.  Learners practice phonic sounds.  Students role play, make predictions, use picture...

Students demonstrate how quickly disease spreads and the importance of protective measures with communicable diseases. They examine past epidemics such as the Bubonic Plague and make predictions about future epidemics.They compare and...

Learners identify significant events that helped shaped 2006. Completing a news quiz, they discuss the importance and impact of each event mentioned. They create their own news quizzes to be used as a class. They create a poster...

Students explore objects before and after heating using their senses.  In this matter and energy lesson, students experiment with a variety of objects and use their senses (except taste) to make predictions and record observations...

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students determine the line of best fit for a scatter plot and use the information to make predictions involving interpolation or extrapolation.  The one page worksheet contains one multiple...

Learners research weather proverbs and determine the scientific validity of 3 weather proverbs. They write an essay presenting their reasoning. They interview elderly people to graph the most frequently heard proverbs and theorize...

Students recognize, describe and extend patterns in three activities. They organize data, find patterns and describe the rule for the pattern as well as use the graphing calculator to graph the data to make and test predictions. In the...

In this reading guide worksheet set, students complete short answer questions before, during, and after reading Leo Lionni's Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse. They examine the parts of the book, make predictions, list new words, check...

Students observe and measure seed germination. In this life science instructional activity, students use 'tanks' to observe a set of seeds as they germinate and begin growing, make predictions, and record their data. Lesson includes...

Students investigate how seeds sprout. For this scientific inquiry lesson, students make predictions on which seeds will grow the fastest and observe the seeds over a period of time. Observations are recorded into a journal.

Fifth graders evaluate David Bushnell's 1776 American Turtle. In this history lesson plan students analyze and make predictions about the first submarine invented by David Bushnell after view pictures. They compare the drawing with an...

Third graders conduct an experiment comparing plants.  In this plant lesson, 3rd graders plant seeds and grow two varieties of plant comparing the light needed for it to grow.  Students make predictions and record their...

Students after completing this lesson, identify variables that affect the system, and specify which variables are independent; which are dependent. They represent data in a data table and a graph and analyze data and make predictions.

Students conduct an experiment to evaluate whether plants need soil to survive and grow. They plant two seeds, one with soil and one without, make predictions, and record and analyze the seed germination results on a worksheet.
