While all light travels at the same speed, each color in the visible light spectrum contains a different wavelength and frequency. Scholars determine the relationship between frequency and wavelength as they complete the activity. They...

Fourth graders find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and...

Second graders collect data by spinning two spinners and creating sums, organize the data, and make conclusions from the data. Each students makes a spinner. They spin and record the number of the section each time. Students work in...

Students utilize mathematical concepts such as: measurement, ratio and proportion and geometric probability to analyze the components of the U.S. Flag. They collect, organize and interpret data by constructing charts, tables and graphs...

Students collect and compare bugs using magnifying lenses and graph data based on their comparisons. In this bugs lesson plan, students also make an aspirator by using a jar, tubing, and screen.

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

Students use the internet to find the air temperatures in their area. They create a graph based on the data. They analyze the data and examine tips for avoiding extreme weather.

Young scholars use an on line website to simulate the effects of light intensity and wavelength on photosynthesis. For this photosynthesis lesson plan, students determine how wavelength of light and intensity of light affect the rate at...

Students examine statistics of teenagers using alcohol and marijuana. In groups, they brainstorm the reasons why they believe usage is higher than in years past. As a class, they role-play different roles in scenerios to help them...

Upper graders access the Microsoft Word program and create patterns by utilizing certain keys on the keyboard. They create picket fences, smiley faces, and hearts. It seems that this lesson has as much to do with keyboarding skills as it...

Students evaluate word problems.  In this problem solving lesson, students are presented with word problems requiring graphing skills and students work independently to solve.

Pupils use probability to determine how likely it is for each tree in a small forest to catch on fire.

Learners experience the development of statistical data. In groups, they construct a survey questionnaire for a target audience. Students produce the questionnaire, distribute it, collect it, and tabulate the data. Using EXCEL, the...

Students keep detailed weather records during the fall migration of the monarch butterfly. They compare weather conditions to the days they do and do not see monarchs. As a class, they graph and analyze data and send it to a university...

Eleventh graders explore the spread of a disease through a population.  In this Algebra II lesson, 11th graders analyze graphical data representing they spread of a disease.  Students produce a graph of the virus data,...

Students collect information and use a line to represent it. In this algebra lesson, students investigate real world data to see if it makes a line. They graph the line comparing the relationship of the x axis with that of the...

Students participate in probability experiments and simulations while modeling and solving problems. They examine how to use the random number generator on a graphing calculator using examples from their local hockey teams.

Students use their non-dominant hand to catch candy which they tossed in the air. They estimate how many they catch in a second round. They record and determine how the probability changed the second time.

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

Students explore the concept of line of best fit. In this line of best fit lesson plan, students find lines of best fit in examples about riding your bike home from school and dentistry. Students find two data points and find the line of...

Students determine if there is an associationm in a scatter plot of data. They analyze data through predictios, comparisons, and applications. Students calculate the line of best fit using a graphing calculator. They display data in...

Young scholars explore the concept of linear regression. For this linear regression lesson, students do a Barbie bungee activity where they collect linear data. Young scholars plot their data using a scatter plot. Students determine a...

Students increase understanding of the drug issue and further develop skill in graphing.

Students analyze the number of times each letter in the alphabet is used in the names of the states. In this statistics lesson, students create a stem and leaf plot, box and whisker plot and a histogram to analyze their data.
