Looking for an out-of-this-world volcanic activity? Geologists study Earth's volcanic history and the neighboring planet Mars by modeling volcanic eruptions, lava flows, and building a shield volcano. Participants use graph paper and...

Students explore the concept of central tendencies. In this central tendencies instructional activity, students sort M&M's or Skittles based on color. Students graph their results. Students find the mean, median, and mode of their data.

Manufacturers' claims may or may not be accurate, so proceed with caution. Here pupils use statistics to investigate the M&M's company's claim about the percentage of each color of candy in their packaging. Through the activity,...

Students estimate and then count the number of each color of M&M's in their bag. In this mathematics lesson, students find the experimental probability of selecting each color from the bag. Students create pictographs and bar graphs...

"Life is more risk management, rather than exclusion of risks." -Walter Wriston. Scholars use provided mortality data to determine how likely it is a person will die from a particular cause. They compare the data to the perception of the...

Sixth graders calculate the mean, median, and mode of candy M&Ms and find the percentage of each color. Once they complete the assignment, they compare their results with those of the candy company's percentages. As an extension,...

In this frequency learning exercise, students investigate, frequency, box plots, and percentage using a package of M&Ms.  Copies of the actual correspondences with the Mars company are also included.

Students investigate color distribution in bags of M&Ms They sort and classify the contents of a bag of M&Ms and summarize their findings on a worksheet. Students convert the numbers into charts and make predictions about color...

Students use the graphing calculator and the core equation: y=Ax^2+Bx+C where A = the acceleration of gravity/2, B = the initial velocity, and C = initial height above ground to graph parabolas for Earth and Mars. They experiment with...

In these shape activity worksheets, students read the poem about shapes and then draw and write about one of the zoo animals from the zoo. Students use the given shapes to put their animal together. Students add hair, eye color, and...

Here is an excellent lesson for young learners who are just beginning to explore the concept of using units to measure length. They rotate through four classroom centers in order to gain practice in utilizing this important skill.
