In this self-directed lesson, students use graphs and maps of water quality to investigate relationships between variables to answer questions. A handout with everything the student needs to complete this lesson is available as a PDF or...

This lesson explores quantitative vs. qualitative scientific data.

This learning module discusses quantitative and qualitative data, the use of two-way tables in marginal and conditional distributions, how to display data, variation in data and samples, and how to critically evaluate statistical...

In this chemistry lab, learners will investigate chemical changes that occur when acids and bases react. It is meant to introduce the concepts of chemical changes, gases have mass, conservation of mass, and balancing equations. Students...

Informational report terms are included in this assessment. This test assesses the following text feature terms: evidence, claim, qualitative evidence, quantitative evidence, and reasoning. Images of the terms are included alongside the...

Informational report terms are included in this review "Match" game. Questions are provided for the following words: evidence, claim, qualitative evidence, quantitative evidence, and reasoning..

In this activity, students will type an informational report term. When given a definition or an example, students will practice identifying the following terms: evidence, claim, qualitative evidence, quantitative evidence, and...

Argument terms are included in this review exercise. Flashcards are provided for the following words: evidence, claim, qualitative evidence, quantitative evidence, and reasoning. Images of each of these terms are also included.

This slideshow gives a detailed explanation of the characteristics of statistical questions and how they differ from other types of questions, the types of studies, and the methods for collecting data. It describes the case of Clever...

Students investigate the difference between qualitative and quantitative measurements and observations. By describing objects both qualitatively and quantitatively, they learn that both types of information are required for complete...

For this activity, students will be given a set of materials: cardboard, a set of insulating materials (i.e. foam, newspaper, etc.), aluminum foil, and Plexiglas. Students will then become engineers in building a solar oven from the...

An adult-led field trip allows students to be organized into investigation teams that catalogue the incidence of plastic debris in different environments. These plastics are being investigated according to their type, age, location and...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students will review the different types of graphs, and the differences between discrete and continuous data, and between qualitative and quantitative data. They...

In this activity, students distinguish between physical and chemical properties. They also understand the differences between qualitative and quantitative observations. They use quantitative and qualitative analyses to identify an...

The Tools module introduces students to the tools scientists use for both qualitative and quantitative observations. Students learn to use tools such as their senses, rulers, and balance scales through hands-on activities.

Synthesize information that you find in charts and graphs.

A brief overview of how to gather both quantitative and qualitative data, complete with a sample data table.

A test with four multiple choice questions over inferencing, quantitative observation, and qualitative observation.

This paper is intended as an introduction to research methodology and how scientists construct meaning from a qualitative data analysis. (Published 2005)

Students analyze both quantitative and qualitative forms of information in order to answer compelling questions about voter participation trends.

The basic definitions of four statistics variables - quantitative, qualitative, dependent and independent - are provided here.
