Population Dynamics (Lesson 2)
Middle schoolers discuss the importance of population growth rates. They examine mortality and survival curves and participate in an experiment. They record their observations and discuss.
Curated OER
The Proof
Students will construct simple curves on graph paper by connecting a series of points between the vertical and horizontal axes. They share their designs and explain the patterns.
Curated OER
Famous Rock Groups
Students define igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary, and use rock identification books to identify igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. Students then discuss which rocks early man would have found useful for tool creation.
Curated OER
Box And Whiskers
Students investigate the concept of using box and whisker plots. They demonstrate how to use them to compute median, mode, and range. Students compare and contrast the complete and systematic processes use to solve problems. This is done...
Curated OER
Apply Scientific Inquiry and Scientific Habits of Mind
Young scholars review the components of the scientific inquiry method. In groups, they develop hypothesis on a variety of different topics and design an investigation or experiment to test it. They share their conclusions with the class...
