In this science worksheet, 1st graders track the tides of the ocean for a number of days and examine the data to determine the meaning of the pattern.

Students make "pets" of isopods (potato bugs) to determine their preferred environment and food sources. They record their results on a bar graph and in a scientific report.

Students examine the materials that are used to make space suits. They complete an experiment in which they test different materials in different colors to determine the best one for keeping astronauts comfortable. They analyze the data.

Second graders investigate the concept of measuring weight, mass, and capacity. For this measurement worksheet, 2nd graders compare items using the words "more than" or "less than." They predict whether an item weighs more or less than a...

How long do we have to wait? Given several days of times between eruptions of Old Faithful, learners create a graphical representation for two days. Groups combine their data to determine an appropriate wait time between eruptions.

Expand your pupils' vocabulary! Learn how to use statistical vocabulary regarding linear models. The activity teaches scholars the appropriate terminology for bivariate data analysis. To complete the module, individuals use linear...

This lesson introduces the idea of slope and defines it as a numerical measurement of the steepness of a line. Pupils then use the definition to compare lines, find positive and negative slopes, and notice their definition holds for...

How do you create a residual plot? Work as a class and in small groups through the activity in order to learn how to build a residual plot. The activity builds upon previous learning on calculating residuals and serves as a...

Add more points on the graph ... and it still remains a line! The 13th installment in a series of 33 leads the class to the understanding that the graph of linear equation is a line. Pupils find several solutions to a two-variable linear...

How many points are needed to define a unique parabola? Individuals work with data to answer this question. Ultimately, they determine the quadratic model when given three points. The concept is applied to data from a dropped...

Investigate associations between variables with two-way tables. Scholars continue their study of two-way tables and categorical variables in the 15th installment of a 21-part module. The instructional activity challenges them to...

Pupils work several real-world problems that use percents in the 11th portion of a 20-part series. The problems contain percents involved with taxes, commissions, discounts, tips, fees, and interest. Scholars use the equations formed for...

What happens when combining percentage discounts? The last lesson in a series of 29 introduces the idea of combining discounts one after another. Pupils wrestle with the claim that to find the total discount, they need to only add...

Students develop procedures to explore the behavior of fish.  In this scientific experiment lesson students from a hypothesis, write a question, identify different variables and controls in their experiment. 

Students explore beginning division. For this division number properties lesson, students solve simple division story problems using cookies. Students create models that represent the identity and zero properties, then write explanations...

Students explore circular functions. They identify the amplitude, period, phase shift and vertical shift of circular functions. Students analyze phenomena described by sine waves and they find mathematical models for transforming images...

Students construct a bridge that can hold 100 pennies. In this math instructional activity, students evaluate the strength of their bridges. They predict how much weight a bridge can hold based on its design.

Second graders discuss experiences of watching a rocket launch either on television or in person before making paper rockets. They make and color rockets which they attempt to launch using a strong breath blown through a straw at the...
