Musing meteorologists design graphs of the temperature and pressure changes for altitude increase in our atmosphere. The activity is pertinent to middle school earth science curriculum. Vary the type of homework you assign when teaching...

In this tracking the rising tide worksheet, students use the data in a graph showing the seal level change versus time from 1900 to 2000 to answer 3 questions about the rising tides. Students determine the slope of a line drawn from 1920...

How fast does water cool? First fifth graders will draw a line on a graph that predicts how fast they think water can cool from boiling. Then they plot the actual data on the same graph to see if their estimate was correct.

More than 90 percent of the people in a building have come down with an illness, and it is your job to investigate. Teachers give scientists the data needed to decide what is important and how they can solve the mystery....

Fifth graders interpret a table of data about food chains in the ocean. They create a food chain to represent the information on the table. Periwinkles eat seaweed, and crabs eat periwinkles - so who eats crabs? Extend the activity with...

Babies grow at an incredible rate! Demonstrate how to model growth using a linear function. Learners build the function from two data points, and then use the function to make predictions.

Scholars read and interpret a graph relating bacterial growth in a culture over time. They apply knowledge of derivatives, estimation, and graphing to the skill practice questions.

Water filtration — that's pure genius! Groups test the ability of a water filter to purify water by running chlorine contaminated water through a filter and measuring the chlorine concentrations as they filter the water. They then graph...

How much land does a parcel hold? How much fertilizer does it take for a field of corn? Pupils answer these questions and more as they apply ratio reasoning and unit analysis. 

In this measures of central tendency worksheet, students draw a stem and leaf plot of a set of test scores. They compute the mean, median, mode, and range of the data set, and round the answers to the nearest tenth.

Can your young biologists interpret population graphs, match macroevolution patterns and descriptions, and answer multiple choice questions about evolution? Find out with a comprehensive three-page quiz covering some specific examples of...

What do graphs of atmospheric gases over time show us? Do they indicate that carbon sources and carbon sinks are not in balance? Up-and-coming meteorologists watch video clips, read information, and analyze data from the HIPPO...

In this geography worksheet, students use the climate data given to create a temperature line graph and rainfall bar graph for each of three locations given. Then they use an atlas to compare their graphs and draw conclusions about the...

This optional activity introduces the class to the idea of a minimum spanning tree. The activity focuses on determining an algorithm that will find the most efficient path in a network to transfer data. 

Here is an unexpected, but practical resource. It is not a worksheet, but rather an outline of what a science laboratory participant should include in a report. Especially valuable is a grading rubric that spells out what is expected for...

Calories are not tiny creatures that sew your clothes tighter every night, but what are they? A science instructional activity, presented at multiple levels, has learners experiment with heat, heat transfer, and graph the...

Mass and density — aren't they the same thing? This activity has groups use balance beams and water displacement to measure several objects. The pupils use the measurements to calculate the density of the objects. 

For this estuary worksheet, students examine data about the salinity of the Hudson River, create a graph from given data and complete 12 short answer questions about the data and graph.

In this graphing of Ideal Gas Data worksheet, students use the given data to draw 4 graphs of the given data. They are given the pressure and volume to draw and interpret the graphs.

In this physics worksheet, students model the acceleration, velocity, and position of a cart moving up an inclined plane. They take data and determine a pattern in the data. Students also describe their findings and create an illustration.

The first four questions on this assignment require the use of critical thinking skills to apply the action of enzymes to different situations. Biologists then interpret enzyme activity data in a table and answer questions about it. This...

This jumbo worksheet contains everything you need to get through Pre-Algebra. Begin with simple expressions, and end with linear functions and polygons. There are multiple problems for each topic to make sure those skills are set. 

In this graphing worksheet, students read about line, bar, and pie graphs and then determine which graph is the best way to express data results. This worksheet has 3 short answer questions.

For this stem-and-leaf plot worksheet, learners use a given plot to solve 4 problems, then make a plot for given data and solve related problems. Houghton Mifflin text referenced.
