Young scholars explore genetics through various hands-on activities. In this biology lesson, students predict the probability of offspring genotypes and phenotypes using the Punnett Square. They explain the causes of genetic abnormalities.

Young scholars identify relation, function, patterns and range. In this algebra lesson, students factor and graph quadratic equations. They use transformation to move the parabola around and make predictions.

Students use reading strategies for Night of the Twister. In this reading strategies lesson plan, students name five major catastrophes and books about each. Students complete a vocabulary section, make inferences and predictions, read...

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.

Second graders use tree diagrams to predict the possible outcomes of coin tosses. The data they collect and graph also help them predict the likelihood of getting heads or tails when tossing coins the next time.

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.

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...

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...

It is cowabunga time! Pupils read an article about the NASA LISA mission on gravitational waves and conduct additional research on them. The class participates in a science bowl type competition about gravitational waves. Panels of four...

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...

Pupils study probability and statistics by conducting an experiment, recording their results, and sharing data with classmates.

What's in a name? Pupils create a data set from the number of letters in the names of classmates. Each group then takes the data and creates a visual representation, such as a histogram, circle graph, stem-and-leaf plot, etc.

Read various texts to compare the themes across each text. Learners write a journal entry describing the most beautiful scenery they've seen and use a map of the United States to locate the Sequoia National Park and Muir Woods. They then...

Seventh graders determine the fairness of various games.  In this determining the fairness of various games lesson, 7th graders use spinners, dice, and rock,paper, scissors to play various chance games.  Students determine if...

Students collect data, graph it, and use the data to find measures of central tendencies, and find probabilities.

Students collect data on different events and word problems. In this algebra instructional activity, students use a table to organize their data. They graph their coordinate pairs on a coordinate plane and make predictions.

In this probability and statistics activity, students work with a family member to construct graphs based on real life data. The two page activity contains three questions. Answers are not included.

Students measure the heights of their fellow classmates and create a box and whisker plot to display the data. In this measurement lesson plan, students analyze the data and record results.

Students observe weather patterns, collect data, and make a weather predictions for various locations on a map.

An inventive lesson plan shows learners how to collect, organize, and present mathematical data. They access websites which lead them through a variety of ways to engage in data collection. They get to design and create graphs, and...

Middle schoolers are introduced to the concept of probability. In groups, they make a prediction about how many times a coin might show heads or tails when flipped. They carry out the experiment and record their results to compare it to...

Learners calculate the theoretical and empirical probability by dropping coins on a grid. They record their data and compare the theoretical and empirical data. Students make predictions about the results before conducting the experiment.

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