High schoolers collect and interpret data to make predictions about the levels of ozone in the atmosphere. Using the internet to collect data students use their collected data to create a line graph for analysis. High schoolers make...

Fifth graders practice using the scientific method by observing and creating mold.  In this bacteria lesson, 5th graders experiment creating their own mold and fungus using petri dishes and oatmeal.  Students create an...

Ninth graders measure the insulation properties of different fabrics by immersing cans of water covered with fabric "socks" in an ice bath and measuring temperature changes. They then calculate heat loss and graph the data individually.

In this slope of a line worksheet, students read about line graphs and plotting the slope of a line. They read about the rate of change which is represented by the slope. Students practice finding the slope of lines.

Ninth graders graph linear equations and inequalities in two variables and then, they write equations of lines and find and use the slope and y-intercept of lines. They use linear equations to model real data and define to define the...

Student use the Ti calculator to graph sinusoidal graphs. In this calculus lesson, high schoolers use the CBL to collect and analyze data of sinusoidal graphs. They manipulate their collected data and make predictions.

Computers are useful for more than just surfing the Internet. Pupils first investigate scatter plots and estimate correlation coefficients. Next, they use Microsoft Excel to create scatter plots and determine correlation...

Seventh graders investigate the practice of purchasing a used car with the help of links and resources found in the lesson plan. They conduct research to find the right kind of car using a variety of resources. Students examine data in...

Learners calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this probability instructional activity, students differentiate between independent, dependent or compound events. They find the range of the data.

Learners calculate the length, width, height, perimeter, area, volume, surface area, angle measures or sums of angle measures of common geometric figures. They create an equation of a line of best fit from a set of ordered pairs or...

Seventh graders translate word sentences to algebraic expressions. In groups of three, 7th graders determine the number of times their heart beats in fifteen seconds. Using this data, they calculate the heartbeats per minute, in five...

Students use a professional basketball team's data and graph it on a coordinate plane. They draw a line of regression and finding its equation. They access a website containing statistics for the Houston Rockets basketball team to solve...

Facilitate learning by using small objects to teach the principles of atomic mass in your science class. Pupils determine the average mass of varying beans as they perform a series of competitive experiments. They gather data and...

Eighth graders examine batteries in a series circuit and the associated voltage. They determine, through inquiry and problem solving, that the total voltage of batteries in a series is the sum of the voltage of each battery. They design...

Tenth graders investigate three different sets of data that relate temperature to another variable in the physical world. These illustrate linear, inverse and exponential relationships.

Explore the difference between stochastic and deterministic modeling through programming. First have the class write algorithms for relatively simple tasks using pseudocode. Use the Python 2.7 program app to simulate Mendel's Pea Pod...

What happens when you combine 6.022 times 10 to the 23 piles of dirt into one? You make a mountain out of a mole hill. Scholars use dehydration to obtain percent composition and then calculate the molarity of the original...

Students use data from real-life models to calculate and compare the force required for an airplane of a given weight to become airborne. They use a graphing calculator to evaluate data and use the World Wide Web to access data.

Students determine whether the index of refraction of sample of Corn Syrup meets Federal standards. This task assess students' abilities to explain the procedures for investigation, plan for recording and organizing observations and...

In this scatter plots and line of best fit worksheet, students create scatter plots from given sets of data. They answer questions concerning the scatter plot. Students write the equation of a line, identify the type of correlation...

Rolling for momentum. As part of a study of mechanical energy, momentum, and friction, class members experiment rolling a ball down an incline and having it collide with a cup. Groups take multiple measurements and perform...
