Fourth graders read "The Far Away Drawer" by Harriet Diller and discuss the story as a class. After discussion, 4th graders create a t-shirt GLYPH about their hopes and dreams,share their information with the class and create spreadsheets.

Tenth graders conduct a survey at a high school basketball game. They compile and present the data as histograms or bar graphs.

Students examine a variety of charts and graphs that present data in a format that is easy to read. They work in groups to conduct a survey amongst their classmates. The data collected from the survey is then put on a bar graph.

Young scholars create a spreadsheet which includes a bar graph. They sort and classify information and use the average function on a spreadsheet. They research Skittles candy and summarize their findings on a spreadsheet.

Eighth graders, using a range of data, produce three bar graphs for various scales along the y-axis.

Students conduct Internet research to discover the reason why leaves change color in autumn. On a nature walk around school grounds, they collect leaves of various colors and shapes over a three-week period. finally, students select...

Second graders ask questions and design an experiment to explore different spinners in "The Leap Frog" board game. They conduct their experiment, collect information and interpret the results using a graph.

Students describe, analyze and generalize relationships, patterns, functions using words. symbols, variables, tables and graphs.

Students solve systems of equations. For this algebra lesson, students identify the number of solutions to a system of equation. They solve using linear combination and graphing.

Second graders use colored candies to collect data, construct double bar graphs, and find averages.

Learners locate the population and square mileage of at least one state. Using this information students graph the population and the area of the 50 states individually and as a class, then analyze the information.

Students investigate probability using coins and dice. They collect data, graph, organize and interpret data. They predict, describe, compare, compute and draw conclusions based on what they observe and record.

Fourth graders explore several different types of graphs using M & Ms.

Fourth graders use graph paper to make models of perfect squares. They be given a word problem in a worksheet imbedded in this plan. They may work in small groups or work alone to figure out the answer.

Students use gummy bears to count in this lesson. They sort the gummy bears into color groups. They then count the gummy bears in each grouping. Finally, they survey their classmates' favorite color of gummy bears and record this...

Fourth graders perform probability experiments. In this math lesson, 4th graders complete a penny toss to evaluate and graph the combinations of outcomes. In a second activity, students draw M&Ms out of a bag and graph results. In a...

Ninth graders study the uses of spectroscopy and the operation of the Hubble space telescope.  In this astronomy lesson students complete a lab activity that includes graphing star color and temperature.

Students complete a weather report chart after studying weather patterns for a period of time. In this weather report lesson, students measure temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, wind speed, and wind direction for a month. Students...

Young scholars experiment to determine the composition of ocean water. In this ocean water composition instructional activity, students color in a grid that shows the percentage of each of the components of ocean water which include...

Third graders estimate and measure the length of a whole color-segmented, candy gummy worm. Then, as students bite off each segment, they estimate, measure and record findings in an activity log.

Students explore math problem solving strategies while reading a nursery rhyme. In this addition lesson, students learn math skills such as solving simple equations, graphing data and extending patterns while reading The Three Little...

Students explore the cost of wasted water. In this math lesson, students conduct an experiment in which they collect data on how much water is lost when a faucet leaks. Students figure the cost of the water that was wasted.

The centerpiece of this lesson plan is a predator-prey simulation in which colored paperclips represent different species of animals camouflaged against a colored background. Relevant follow-up questions are provided. The activity is...

Seventh graders compile a table of the revenues of the 8 eateries (a combined total), Main Gate admissions, and the Gift Shop.
