Curated OER
Understanding Cloud Formation
Students explore air and clouds by watching demonstration. They perform an experiment to measure air pressure changes.
Curated OER
Understanding Cloud Formation
Students read and relate the poem, "Clouds" by Aileen Fisher to a demonstration on cloud formation. They create clouds in jars using ice water and matches then discuss the ways clouds can be used to predict weather.
Curated OER
Using Statistics to Uncover More Evidence
Fifth graders participate in an online Web lesson plan on ways of interpreting data. They conduct a survey and interpret the results in a journal entry.
Curated OER
Closing the Case
Fifth graders collect data and prepare data displays using a survey with statistical information.
Curated OER
Infusing Equity Gender into the Classroom
Students investigate if gender makes a difference in the classroom. For this statistics lesson, students collect data on whether equity by gender in the classroom makes students more successful.
Curated OER
Populations Lab - Exponential Graphing
Ninth graders investigate the application of populations that exists in one's everyday environment, in order to develop an understanding of how mathematics is a key component in the understanding of population dynamics.
Curated OER
Plant Investigation Through Young Eyes
Students observe pictures of plants and forests. They observe their own plants in a plot of land especially for them. They are to identify the plants in the photographs they saw.
Curated OER
Travel Mug Design
Students create and develop a travel mug. They create visuals and a three dimensional infomercial. They apply an engineering design and demonstrate knowledge of thermodynamics involved in heat transfer. They illustrate Newton's Law of...
Curated OER
Graphing Data - Temperature
Seventh graders measure and record temperature over a given time period. They compare the recorded temperatures to the 40-year recorded normal average temperatures for the same area. Students display and interpret their findings in a graph.
Curated OER
Twisters
Students differentiate between the terms 'tornado watch' and 'tornado warning' and simulate the conditions that produce tornadoes. They read "Night of the Twisters" by Ivy Ruckman and conduct an experiment using two-liter plastic...
Curated OER
Cloud Shadows
Students classify clouds as transparent, translucent or opaque. They conduct an experiment to determine the visual opacity of several classroom objects and then conduct further observations of clouds.
Curated OER
TE Lesson: Caught in the Net
Students student the concept of bycatch, the act of unintentionally catching certain living creatures using fishing equipment. They determine the difference between bycatch and target creatures. They discover what species become bycatch...
Curated OER
Data Shuffle
Students find an advertisement or newspaper using charts or graphs. They create another graph using the same information in a different format. They write a comparison of the two graphs.

Annenberg Foundation
Annenberg Learner: Making a Stem and Leaf Plot
A line plot may not be a useful graph for investigating variation so we must come up with a new representation based on groups of data. Construct a stem and leaf plot from a set of 26 data values.
