High schoolers test wood splints that have been soaked in mystery solutions to identify the different colors it produces when lit. The lesson concludes with a reading passage and analysis questions.

Students use a balance and gram cubes to measure several different objects. They then record their results on a data chart and answer questions about them.

First graders explore geometry by completing a worksheet in class. In this non-standard measurement unit lesson, 1st graders discuss different techniques for measuring items without the use of a ruler. Students read several short stories...

Upper elementary and middle schoolers work with the concept of probability. They are introduced to the concept of chaos. Learners graph and analyze using a line plot, work with mean, and are introduced to the concept of variance.

Students determine the average mass of a new element using masses from three isotopes. In this chemistry instructional activity, students explain what an isotope is. They discuss their importance and uses.

Students calculate gasoline cost per mile on a virtual field trip. They calculate the gasoline costs and travel time for each of the 2 routes, and record on a data sheet. They use Excel to create data tables for mileage, gasoline...

Fourth graders identify prior knowledge of the Public Access Catalog. They identify parts of a catalog record. Students use the Public Access Catalog to locate an item. The teacher place 6-8 books on the tables. Students locate several...

Students identify days, dates, and month on a calendar. In this calendar lesson, students use a blank calendar page and fill in the days of the month. Students recall what they learned on specific days and record that information as well.

Students find coordinate points on a grid and create a line graph with those points. This instructional activity should ideally be used during a unit on various types of graphs. They make and use coordinate systems to specify locations...

Students study math. In this real-life problem solving lesson, students work on their skills dealing with time and money. They work in small groups on various time and money word problems and by the final day they have a final problem...

Students analyze the relationship between radius and diameter.  Students read Sir Cumference and the First Round Table then take measurements of circular items from around the room.  Students compute the radius, diameter...

Eighth graders do a research project on a particular species of Atlantic seafood and record and graph information pertaining to commercial landings of that species of seafood. They use a website and an Appleworks spreadsheet.

Second graders explore clouds. They read The Cloud Book by Tomie dePola. Students sort the cloud pictures into three categories. Students create a graph using the cloud pictures. They use Excel to create a bar graph.

Students find the area and perimeter of rectangular figures. They use this information to find patterns and discover relationships between area and perimeter. Students apply and explain formulas relating to perimeter, area, and volume.

Students investigate the weather in different places in the world. In this algebra lesson, students use technology to gain an understanding of how to study integers. They add and subtract integers on a number line.

Students design a rectangular box without a lid that has the largest possible volume using the supplied sheet of centimeter graph paper. They work in groups to construct different size boxes to determine the largest possible volume and...

Eighth graders use a meter stick that is placed on a horizontal surface and an object is moved along it so that the shadow length can be measured at different distances from the light source. They solve real-world problems involving...

Learners collect data in the field and analyze it in class using tables and graphs to determine how many observations of a phenomenon are necessary to draw valid conclusions.

Students analyze the measurements of rectangles. For this analysis lesson, students will investigate patterns by looking at ratios. Students will also hypothesize the probability of a ball going into a certain pocket when playing pool....

Students locate the many forests located in Oregon. In groups, they use the internet to research employment data on wood products made in the state. They discuss how looking at information presented in a different way can change their...

Students download data reported from the Global Sun Temperature Project website. They graph and analyze the data looking for trends and patterns. They prepare a class report with their observations and post it to the website.

Students use research skills to solve a problem. They research information needed to plan a vacation. Students create a letter, a flyer, an itinerary, an activity list, cost spreadsheet, a reference page, table of contents and a title page.

Students investigate excited electrons. In this chemistry lesson plan, students will go through a series of activities designed to help them understand how excited electrons emit different colors of light.

Young scholars use the tools of data analysis for managing information. They solve problems by generating, collecting, organizing, displaying histograms on bar graphs, circle graphs, line graphs, pictographs and charts. Students...
