Identify the tools used to measure various aspects of climatology like a barometer.

Use this site to learn all about the instruments that are used to measure things related to weather.

Students learn how to write simple programs to evaluate formulas in several variables for lists of data. They apply these skills to the computation of areas, volumes and surface areas of familiar geometric solids.

This activity provides middle schoolers with an opportunity to use a familiar game to determine the most appropriate units for a given situation.

This activity explores dimensional analysis, the process of converting one unit into another.

A number line showing the conversion of Imperial units to Metric units.

In this activity, you will explore the Science Tools App by using the "Significant Figures" feature and the "Vector Calculator".

A number line showing the conversion of Metric units to Imperial units.

Students can use the TI-Navigator to investigate mathematics in Forensic Science.

In this activity, students explore map making. Students' read a story, identify the locations of different places in the story, decide the distance between each set of places in the story, and create a map with a legend.

A sling psychrometer is used to measure humidity levels. Read about its history, how it works, its design, and how to use it. Includes a relative humidity table.

Students are guided in how to build their own weather station that will measure temperature, humidity, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, and wind direction and speed.

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this flipchart students will explore different instruments used for measuring length, time, temperature and weight. Non standard units of measurement (unifix cubes) are also included. Activotes are...

Students determine the refractive index of a liquid with a simple technique using a semi-circular hollow block. Then they predict the refractive index of a material (a Pyrex glass tube) by matching it with the known refractive index of a...

Through five lessons, students are introduced to all facets of the rock cycle. Topics include rock and mineral types, material stresses and weathering, geologic time and fossil formation, the Earth's crust and tectonic plates, and soil...

The purpose of this lesson is to have students create a box and whiskers plot from collecting class data of each person's height.

This activity is intended for an Introductory Meteorology class; an earth science elective intended for Juniors and Seniors. (It was orginally modifed from an Introductory Meteorology Laboratory Assigment taught to undergraduates at...

In this activity, students find the area and the perimeter for several geometric shapes. They also determine the surface area and volume of spheres.

In this activity, students learn about the sum of the angles in a triangle. They understand triangles and their interior angles.

In this activity, students compare their height with the average height of students in the class. They create histograms to analyze the data, and construct box plots to summarize the height statistics.

In this activity, students graph scatter plots to investigate possible relationships between two quantitative variables. They collect data and analyze several sets of data pairing the two quantities.

The visitor may view "The Ambassadors" from Hans Holbein the Younger. The entire painting can be viewed in a larger format.

Students will create two box-and-whisker plots of the data in the USA TODAY Snapshot, "Super ticket sales". Students will calculate central tendencies for both sets of data. Students will compare the two sets of data by analyzing the...

Students find a sample of a given size with a given mean. In this activity, students show one way 100 families can have a mean of 2.58 children and understand the meaning of the term "average".
