Students graph the ocean floor using given data. In this earth science lesson, students label different oceanic features on the map. They answer questions at the end of the lab.

Students create their own "weather" map using data from x-ray sources. They analyze and discuss why it is important to organize data in a fashion in which is easy to read. They compare and contrast different x-ray sources using a stellar...

Third graders create a timeline of inventions and inventors made out of light colored bulletin board paper.

Students investigate scores as they relate to race. In this algebra instructional activity, students analyze standardized scores and how race can affect these scores. They plot their findings on a graph and draw conclusions.

Students investigate graphing a line. In this algebra lesson, students collect data on the path of a skateboarder. They collect how fast the board is traveling along a straight line and graph their results.

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.

Use a box of raisins to help introduce the concept of data analysis. Learners collect, analyze and display their data using a variety of methods. The included worksheet takes them through a step-by-step analysis process and graphing.

Here is another version of the classic M&M math lesson. In this one, upper graders utilize the ClarisWorks Spreadsheet program in order to document the data they come up with from their bags of M&M's. After making their initial...

In this prescription drug instructional activity, learners answer short answer questions and create graphs on the sales of prescription drugs over a five year span. Students complete six questions.

Students discuss the history of cacao and its use in the production of chocolate. They analyze actual cacao pods and record their observations. Finally they create a five minute contour drawing of the cacao pod and seeds.

Ninth graders construct a weather map. In this meteorology lesson plan, 9th graders construct a weather map using contour lines and temperature.

Fourth graders study changes in animal population. In this graphing instructional activity, 4th graders create graphs from information read to them about hares and lynx populations. They will describe patterns of change in the graphs and...

Students research propulsion, graph data, and interpret the results.

Students, after reading the explanation given below, use FoilSim to determine the weight of the aircraft that can be lifted by a pair of wings of each type. They also design a unique platform of a wing to lift a plane weighing 11500 pounds.

Pupils use FoilSim to complete the activity and investigate the factors that affect lift and how wing area and lift are related.

Students experiment to discover the relationship between the stretch of a spring and the amount of weight attached to the spring using Skittles. They use a CBR and a graphing calculator to gather data.

Ninth graders, after reading the explanation given below, complete the problem-solving activities to demonstrate an understanding of the concepts presented.

In this sight word learning exercise, students are given a calendar naming 4 weeks worth of sight words and their activities for each school day of the week. Activities follow on subsequent pages.
