Students analyze and develop questions about a text. In this asking questions lesson, students read an article and analyze the information within the text. Students then form and answer questions about the text.

Students investigate two and three dimensional shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, students write equations of circles and graph them correctly. They create pictures using circles.

Students rewrite word problems using equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students relate the concept of equations and symbols to the real world. They graph their solutions on a graph and analyze it.

Students solve problems using equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify the correct symbols and steps when solving word problems. They graph their lines and analyze the slope using tiles.

Students take a virtual trip to a Catfish Aquaculture Pond and analyze soil bacteria to determine how many nitrogen cycle bacteria are present. They graph the number of colonies present and use data to determine ammonium levels in the soil.

Eighth graders practice making observations and collecting data after determining a baseline pulse rate then collect data on the changes in that rate with exercise. Students must organize their data and analyze their observations.

Students explore and analyze the relationship of buoyancy and displacement needed to make an object float. They examine various boat designs, then design and build clay and aluminum boats that hold a cargo of marbles.

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.

Students investigate graphing a line. In this algebra lesson, students collect data on the path of a skateboarder. They collect how fast the board is traveling along a straight line and graph their results.

Learners develop an independent procedure to investigate the germination of two types of seeds. Students must construct data tables or charts to record observations and results, graph the data, and analyze the data.

Learners identify, monitor, and analyze how seeds grow into plants and reproduce seeds at a quick rate. Students record the rate at which plants grow. Learners identify what plants need in order to grow. Students share and discuss their...
