Students measure the pH of soil samples from a hypothetical site to locate a contaminant spill and will predict the direction of groundwater flow using mathematical modeling. They use the engineering design process to develop...

Eighth graders use goldfish crackers to simulate a capture-recapture method of data collection. They fill in a chart and determine the averages. They find the estimated population of fish and the actual population of fish based on the...

Students explore the methods of calculating percentages, reading and the construction of graphs, and an awareness of consumer concerns in this lesson plan. The movement of the decimal point often results in uncertainty and confusion....

Students explore grouping. In this math lesson plan, students brainstorm ways to efficiently count the items in their pile and discuss the methods used. Students use a place value chart and practice regrouping ones to tens.

Student pretends to be a research scientist for a mining company. They work in a laboratory that investigates methods of getting useful minerals from rocks. They complete experiment using chocolate chip cookies.

In this algebra learning exercise, students identify bias as they analyze data. They solve word problems about sampling and surveys. There are 2 questions with an answer key.

Students explore sampling with and without replacement. They explore the effects on the probability of drawing a desired object. Students examine probability and the difference between sampling with and without replacement.

For this math worksheet, students round numbers to their leading digit. They multiply the results to find the estimation of the exact answer. Students estimate and then find the exact answer on six problems.

Students collect data on causes of Acid Rain. In this science lesson, students simulate the effects that produce acid rain, collect and analyze data from their samples. They relate science and statistics in this lesson.
