Plankton are so abundant in the ocean they outweigh all of the animals in the sea. In this three day activity, groups discuss and become familiar with plankton, capture females, and look for egg production on day three. 

It doesn't matter whether secant lines intersect inside or outside the circle, right? Scholars extend concepts from the previous lesson to investigate angles created by secant lines that intersect at a point exterior to the circle....

Fourth graders conduct surveys to collect data. They analyze and interpret the data, then determine which type of graph is appropriate for the data. Students use the data to make predictions, discover patterns and draw conclusions...

Students use the Live Access Server (LAS) to form maps and a numerical text file of snow cover for each continent on a particular date. They analyze the data for each map and corresponding text file to determine an estimate of snow cover...

Learners 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...

Young scholars complete a science experiment to study insulation, heat transfer, and permafrost. In this permafrost study lesson, students design and test a soda insulator. Young scholars graph their class data and discuss the results....

Students use text information, data and graphs to explain what sustainable development is, and to investigate the rate of consumption of Canada's natural resources. In groups, they graph their findings.

Students collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph provided the best...

High schoolers will draw Lewis structures of common covalent compounds using a Chem 3D computer program. They will predict the shapes of the molecules, complete a data table, and formulate rules for predicting shapes of molecules. In the...

Learners explore various animal brains. In this animal anatomy lesson, students compare and contrast animal brains with the brain of a human. They record several characteristics in a data table for each brain they observe.

Students convert between two units as they calculate the temperature. In this algebra lesson, students collect data on seasonal climate and create a graph. They make conjectures based on their data collection.

Students predict the-outcome of an event. In this algebra lesson, students compare and contrast the probability of an event occurring. They calculate the odds of a simple event and make estimation.

Students conduct an experiment in small groups, draw conclusions about the amount heat of a compound achieves and practice their data analysis skills.

Pupils observe the migration of monarch butterflies. They collect data regarding the number of monarchs they see, the location, the butterflies' behavior, the temperature and the date and time. Then they send their data to a university...

Learners watch a segment of the PBS video which show the lemurs' ability to jump. In pairs, students collect measurement data involving each other's length of a standard step, a standing broad jump, and a long jump. They record their...

Students discuss tables, multiples, fractions, ratios, and probability while participating in daily activities in this cross-curricular Math lesson using examples from Literature. State standards in Mathematics are addressed over the...

Learners draw conclusions and make conjectures given a specific scenario. In this geometry instructional activity, students model real life scenarios using properties of triangles. They model number facts and explain why the outcome is...

Learners analyze their fingerprints. In this fingerprint lesson plan, students make prints and observe the patterns for arches, loops, and whorls. They write a brief autobiography about themselves titled "I'm Thumbody."

Students determine the average mass of a new element using masses from three isotopes. In this chemistry lesson plan, students explain what an isotope is. They discuss their importance and uses.

High schoolers examine and discuss the writing of ratios as fractions and where they can be found in the real world. They complete worksheets and a questionnaire, and calculate the mean, median, and mode scores for the class.

Students record a four or five day weather forecast. They check the actual weather and compare it with the forecast.

Young scholars compare, classify and calculate the area of geometric figures such as rectangles, squares, circles and triangles.

Fourth graders participate in a lesson that explores probability. They use candy and model cubes to experiment with different outcomes that can be charted if the students can proceed to the objective of the lesson. They discover how...

Crystals are more than meets the eye! Can learners tell them apart simply by observation? As they examine five samples with a magnifier, they find that appearance alone is not enough. This serves as an introduction to a mini unit on...
