Fourth graders conduct surveys to collect data. They analyze and interpret the data, then determine which type of graph is appropriate for the data. Students use the data to make predictions, discover patterns and draw conclusions...

In this Cartesian diver lab, middle schoolers explain using text and diagrams how the Cartesian diver works. Students evaluate ways in making their lab design better. Middle schoolers make predictions of how changing the variable would...

First graders explore counting and classification. They sort leaves, create graphs, write sentences for the data in the graphs, develop graphs for shapes, favorite animals, birthdays, and participate in a die prediction game.

Learners explore the greenhouse effect.  In this environment lesson plan, students describe how "ice out" affects animals and plants who live in a Maine lake.  Learners graph "ice out" data and make predictions about the...

Students collect data on baseball plays. In this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make predictions based on their observation. They calculate what the probability is that a favorable outcome would happen.

Students collect data on population growth. In this statistics instructional activity, students graph their data and make predictions. They find the linear regression and the best fit line.

Students calculate the equation of the line of best fit. In this statistics instructional activity, students create scatter plots and find the line of best fit going through their data. They make predictions and draw conclusions.

High schoolers draw colored blocks from a bag and determine the probability of each color being drawn. Then they draw blocks from another bag in which the numbers of each color are unknown. They guess the number of each color included...

Students define probability. They determine outcome from a given situation based on simple probability. Students create experimental data using a coin and a number cube. They write how theoretical and experimental probability are different.

Students use the concepts in statistics to make decisions. They calculate the mean, median and mode. They compare one firefighter against another and analyze the data. They share their information with the class.

Can scientists really predict genetic outcomes or are they simply making a lucky guess? Scholars first learn about Gregor Mendel and how to make Punnett squares. Then they extract DNA from a strawberry in a lab with included conclusion...

Statistics and Probability are all about collecting, organizing, and interpreting data. Young learners use previously collected data and construct a picture graph of the data on poster board. This stellar lesson should lead to...

Accurate weather forecasting is something we take for granted today, making it easy to forget how complex it can be to predict the weather. Learn more about the terms and symbols used to forecast the weather with an earth science lesson...

If Parseltongue is a genetic trait, what is the probability a wizard will inherit the ability to speak Parseltongue? Scholars investigate magical and biological genetics with Punnett squares.

Explore United States history with this lesson on George Washington and the Revolutionary War. After reading biographical information about George Washington, learners make a list of ten reasons for the revolution. They create a timeline...

Using a teacher-built wind tunnel constructed from a paper concrete tube form, a fan, and a balance, individuals determine the amount of drag their rocket design will experience in flight. Pupils make modifications to increase the...

Introduce learners to set of complete instructions that describe how to build a magnetometer that works just like the ones professional photographers use to predict auroras. The diagrams are wonderfully descriptive, and the written...

Make all the ratio representations fit together. The 15th segment in a series of 29 presents ratio problems to solve. Scholars use a variety of representations to respond to the questions. The problem set has pupils show how the...

Third graders flip a dime and a quarter to record and predict the probability of possible outcomes.

Students fill in a probability chart while attempting to catch candy with their non-dominant hands. They replicate the activity with a coin.

Students experiment with several chaotic simulation, they build a working definition of chaos. Students reinforce their knowledge of basic probability and percents. They are reminded of previous knowledge that is pertinent to this...

Students make equations from everyday data. They create a graph from the equations. Students predict and analyze the results. Students complete the second scenario on their own and turn in their handout.

Do you know how the population has grown of your community? Can you predict the population over the next half century? Can we find an algebraic model that matches our data? These along with many more questions can be researched by...

Students study a number of food products and anticipate which are derived from Kansas crops. They make a list of words associated with the food stuffs and graph the results.
